American Inventive

It's your story. Told your way. But a cut above.

Just in:

I think Sturgis is like biker Woodstock. Or Burning Man. And Sturgis has loved Harley-Davidson for 75 years.
This was edited at Harley’s HQ on the day when, first, they became the Official Motorcycle of the Sturgis Rally for the next 75 years, and then they literally tore off a piece of themselves in return. Harley had a commercial-quality blast on social media by dinnertime. Produced by Folding Pictures for Weber Shandwick.

Sir Georg Solti's legacy means a lot to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Balancing legend and reality, humor and emotion, American Inventive helped create a unique view from the inside told by the musicians who knew him. This is one of many high-profile projects the CSO has trusted American Inventive with to show the world their dedication to quality and the highest standards. Produced by TrumpetMultimedia.

Exceptional video post-production is more than putting pictures together. It's refining, massaging, fixing every detail.

Telling the real-life stories surrounding a tragedy requires special care. Showing courage without bravado, compassion without pity, finding inspiration and resisting the maudlin. Of the many projects done for Scott & White Healthcare, this truly demonstrates their culture of caring. Produced by Haufschild Associates.

Where interviews become tight and focused. Information becomes entertaining. With content as crisp as the picture and sound.

When you're a school trying to make a difference on Chicago's west side, you want everyone to look and sound their best. And when your story is told clearly and concisely, the audience feels your hope and pride. The students and faculty provide the emotional core here, but notice how the music provides the drive and energy - it's just one piece of music, but creative editing, plus new drum and keyboard overdubs created by American Inventive add the nuance. Produced by Freeman Pictures for Bean Productions.

It's getting inside the mind of your audience. Understanding their perspective and acting as their advocate.

This video is part of a very enjoyable multi-year project produced by American Inventive for the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where students' video and stills are crafted into compelling stories for prospective students about the Global Initiatives in Management program. The goal is to always find the right balance in the video between education and tourism; the challenge is to do it with material from non-professionals. This series really highlights how American Inventive makes every story better for every budget.

Experience that knows what's important and what isn't. Ingenious, unexpected solutions meet technology that delivers quality and value.

Some projects are all about collaboration. When it was clear the voiceover script for this sports video needed some more "oomph," American Inventive was there to massage the copy. Here you'll find the experience that knows what both you and your audience are expecting and the talent to make all the competing demands work together in one seamless production. And there's a cooperative spirit behind all of American Inventive's services - from polishing your rough edit to providing training so you can do more on your own. Produced by KMI Marketing.
