| About
Us |
Tait Media Design was founded in 1993 as Tait Video Productions
and also offering Wisconsin Digital Photography.
The passion for video was started in 1985 from a need to video tape
a state wrestling tournament. As a result of that one rented camcorder,
we have grown into a full service multimedia production house. We
are currently located at 8332 Corporate Dr. Racine, WI.
We provide an array of multimedia services
including: promotion, safety, training, orientation, documentaries,
events, duplication, DVD authoring and CD-ROM, web based video and
website development.
Thank you for visiting Tait Media Design. We are your local area
multimedia design team. Please call us for a free DVD demo and competitive
bid your on your next project!
Sincerely,
Barry Tait |

Please take time to view some of our recent multimedia projects:
Andis Company
Project: Create a 1-2 minute trade show DVD for the Chicago McCormick
Place.
Solution: Using Layered Photoshop files from the Andis catalog
along with, motion backgrounds, logos, text graphics and high energy
music.
Media: Loopable DVD
Year: 2004 /2005
DeltaHawk Project: Capture the maiden flight
of the new DeltaHawk Velocity engine.
Solution: Two cameras were used; one on the ground and one in a
chase plane. This one time "live" event took intricate
preparation so that all possible problems were anticipated and avoided.
Many tests and weather delays factored into this difficult
production. Eventually the big day came and we were there to cover
every minute.
Media: DVD and Web Video
Year: 2003
Harley Davidson Project: Create a visitor/contractor
safety and orientation video.
Solution: A detailed script was developed with the client covering
specifically what they wanted every visitor and contractor to know
when they were in the Harley Davidson plant. The repeatability and
consistency of video to convey the message
was a high priority.
Media: DVD
Year: 2003
Modine Manufacturing Project: 75th Anniversary
presentation video.
Solution: We have produced many training videos for Modine over
the years. We produced a short documentary about the founder of
the company (A. B. Modine) from which we used several excerpts for
the Anniversary. Along with these video
clips, we interviewed current and past presidents and created original
graphics.
Media: DVD - Projected
Year: 2003
Racine Heritage Museum Project: Create a
short documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright.
Solution: Extensive research and interviews were done on Racine
natives who were directly involved with Frank Lloyd Wright and his
work. Among those interviewed were Sam Johnson and Karen Johnson
Boyd.
Media: DVD
Year: 2001
Image Management Project: Cable commercial
Solution: Script, brain storm and storyboard ideas to portray the
inner workings of a digital management and graphics company. We
used their location in downtown Racine as a unique selling point
along with showcasing their staff, office and services
through video, logos, graphics, music and narration.
Media: DVD/Commercial
Year: 2005 |

video equipment. He was instrumental in introducing Tait Media to
the Adobe Premier/Matrox/Dell combination. We liked it so much, we

Corporate Design and Production
Rates
Tait Media Design is a full service video/multimedia production company.
We are high quality and low overhead. We strive to keep our rates
reasonable to keep our clients coming back for more outstanding productions
and service. The following are general pricing guidelines for most of our
video productions.
Video Productions are based on two major factors:
1.)
Length (in
finished minutes)
2.)
Complexity (of
production)
Length is directly determined by the script written for each production.
Tait Media Design takes great care to help all our clients create
a custom script that suits the needs of each particular business.
We carefully listen to what our clients want for their productions.
Our goal is always to make an impact for the viewer to take away
and remember. Each script is developed through a combination of
in person meetings, literature and experience. We make a first draft
of each script, which is then reviewed by the client and a second
draft is produced. When the final script is approved, Tait Media
goes to work on the storyboard.
The storyboard is the place where we add the creative graphics, video
angles, narration, animation, and audio elements. We match what is
said in the narration to what will be shown on the screen. To re-enforce
the message, we use multiple media such as video, audio, graphics
and music.
Complexity can be related to several factors such as: number of
hours for on location production, graphic design, digital editing
and re-editing. Narrators and on camera talents factor into the
complexity of each production as well.

| On site production |
