Making online video ads and moving into a new space has pushed Token Media into the spotlight.
For their first act, George Heck and Dan Hundley recast their suburban video transfer shop — Token Media — into a full-fledged, Minneapolis-based video production company that makes TV commercials, corporate videos and award-winning short films.
Now, for the sequel, the company is making a strong push into Web video advertising.
2009 Minneapolis 48 Hour Film Project “The Grave Review”
Filmmaking teams from throughout the Minneapolis area successfully completed a weekend of filmmaking. Films were due on June 14th, and the last few minutes before the deadline saw filmmakers, operating on little sleep and lots of adrenaline, rushing to get their films in on time.
The 48 Hour Film Project is a wild and sleepless weekend in which you and a team make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 48 hours.
On Friday night, you get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in your movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be complete. Then it will show at a local theater, usually in the next week.
In 2008, some 30,000 filmmakers made films in 70 cities. This year, filmmakers around the world are taking the challenge to make a film in just 48 hours.
A young boy finds he suddenly has the power to turn Fridays into Freedays for Radisson Hotel’s summer promotion.
Token Media had the privilege of working in association with Fast Horse Inc, a local marketing firm brought in by Carlson Companies to help them launch their viral campaign.
Twice a month we visit the Animal Humane Society of Golden Valley to film pet profiles for Comcast Local On Demand. Two of us have already adopted dogs as a result. We are proud to be a part of this really great initiative.
Here is a photo of our very own Jessica Teigen shooting a segment with Deb Balzer, Media Relations/Marketing Manager on a Catahoula Leopard mix rescued from down south.
Incidentally, The Walk for Animals is this weekend. If you feel like donating to Jessica’s cause, go here.
Congratulations to everyone who worked on this film! “Birthmarked For Death” will be screened at the Cannes International Film Festival, May 19th, in the Short Film Corner.
Token Media recently finished production of a series of web videos for MapMyRide.com covering the Frostbike tradeshow at QBP in Minneapolis. Loaded with top products from the best vendors, Frostbike gives you a window into cycling industry trends. We filmed and edited over 100 interviews with personalities like Greg Lemond, brands like Shimano and Garmin, and a tour of the stunning LEED certified QBP headquarters. The delivery of these videos is through an interactive web video player featured at MapMyRide.com. This method helps simplify the distribution of a large quantity of videos and enables Mapmyride to easily track viewer data. It also allows the users to share videos with friends or embed them on their site. MapMyRide.com has one of the hottest apps for the iPhone, iMapMyRide, which allows users to track their daily training data which is linked to MapMyRide.com’s powerful social network.
