Established in 1982 by Roger Inman, M.S in Television Production, University of Illinois
MOVING PICTURES was registered with Champaign County in July of 1982. Our goal then, as now, was to produce professional quality television programs for business and government. Among the first programs we produced was a series providing training in data communications theory and equipment for Data Comm for Business of Champaign.
In the next few years we produced programs used to help lease shopping center space, sell radio-controlled models, and preserve special events. We recorded the synchronized music and fireworks for SkyCon at the 1985 FarmAid concert at Memorial Stadium. That year we introduced the first edition of the Champaign-Urbana Videotape, offering people an overview of the twin cities. Then Representative Helen Satterthwaite carried a copy with her on her trip to Japan with then Governor Jim Thompson.
We’ve
done location recording in
fourteen states, from Massachusetts to Colorado and the District of
Columbia. We’ve also worked in Canada, Mexico, Panama, and
Germany, and produced versions of our programs in nine different
languages and dialects. We are converting programs routinely into
various PAL and SECAM international standards.
We’ve produced programs featuring symphony orchestras, high school musicals, and benefits for charity. The bottom line is that each of our clients has a story to tell. They are preserving special events, introducing new employees to their companies, and promoting products and services in extended commercials.
Since late 1996, we've been editing programs on the computer. In 2000 we went to digital recording, and added DVD authoring capabilities. In 2007 we began recording in high definition (1080i) and a year later began distributing programs on Blu-ray disks.
Today our programs are distributed as video on CD-ROM's,DVD's, Blu-ray disks, and over the internet, but we still distribute on videotape occasionally as well.
