“If you have to judge people, judge them based on what they can do, not on what they cannot. Judge them based on who they are, not who they aren’t. Otherwise, you’re judging based on your own shortcomings.” — Anonymous Studio 120 is currently working on a charitable marketing video to help raise awareness for the Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota Organization. People with disabilities represent approximately 20% of Minnesota’s population. As we age, that number will increase. People with disabilities are the strongest influencers in educating our community about what it is like to have a disability and the daily challenges an abled body person does not encounter or even think about. Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota is not a contest to select the most attractive individual. It is instead a competition based on advocacy, achievement, communication and presentation to select the most accomplished and articulate spokeswoman for persons with disabilities. Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota participants have a platform that they advocate for some of these platforms may consist of access to education and health care; employment opportunity; economic power; and political participation. Others simply want to inspire, motivate, and share their stories. This non-profit organization originated in 2011, crowning Jenni Taylor as the first Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota. Jenni then went to nationals and was awarded Ms. Congeniality. She currently works on The Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota Board of Directors and next year will be the assistant coordinator of the event. Studio 120 attended this year’s Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota pageant interviewing the participants and capturing the crowning of Kelsey Peterson the selected winner of Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota 2014.

Yes, of course! Minnesota is often times underestimated on its ability to produce high quality videos. When most people think of films or movies, the Midwest is automatically eliminated from the equation and New York and LA is the first thing that comes to mind. What people don’t factor in is the Midwest is prime real-estate for video production. We get all four-seasons (a lot of snow), everything in and around the Twin Cities are about a 30 minute drive, and if a venue is necessary for a video shoot, the cost is less than half of what people would pay to shoot in New York and LA. The ADS Group is a full service media development and distribution company. Our audio and video production and CD/DVD duplication facilities is under one roof for a seamless delivery of our clients’ content.

2013 MTV Movie Awards were held on Sunday, April 14th of last week. A lot of notable stars made their way down the red carpet at the award ceremony, but one up and coming duo from Seattle made sure their presence didn’t go unnoticed. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performers of the popular song, “Thrift Shop” walked the red carpet. Macklemore may not have won the best dressed award, wearing a bright royal blue satin cape with gold tassels and a matching suit but he certainly stuck out in the crowd! Later on in the evening the Seattle duo were introduced to the stage for some fist pumping action by Snoop Lion and Ke$ha to perform their new single “Can’t Hold Us.” Macklemore covered all areas of the stage with his animated dance moves and his ability to climb to upper levels of the stage ending in the crowd. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are clients of CopyCats Media a division of The ADS Group. Recently The ADS Group a full service CD/DVD Media Development and Distribution Company replicated and packaged their new hit album “The Heist.” Check it out!...

On April 16, 2013, The ADS Group’s Studio 120 and U-Branded productions went full speed ahead in the creation of 8 fitness trailers. These fitness trailers were filmed at Aria, an old historical theatre located in downtown Minneapolis. The space is generally used for corporate special events, weddings, conferences, social gatherings, and in this case fitness videos. Aria couldn’t have been a more perfect location to shoot, it gave these fitness films another dimension due to its large floor plan, high ceilings, original brick walls, cement floors, and iron cast doors. The cameras rolled as each individual fitness talent displayed unique routines targeting a different area of cardio and strength. Studio 120’s production crew was able to get clear shots of each fitness trainer’s fast pace movements and animated facial expressions with the use of high-tech camera equipment. Two camera units were used in the course of the shoot, camera Unit A which is a 3 broadcast camera that filmed simultaneously throughout the shoot and camera Unit B, an AF100 film styled camera that functions using prime lenses. The full length fitness video production date is yet to be determined, but for now that is a wrap! The ADS Group would like to give a special thanks to Studio 120 and U-Branded Productions on their positive efforts in the directing, filming, production, and editing of these trailers, in addition to the talented fitness...
