DigiNovations has just completed a flurry of production projects for the presidential campaign of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, culminating in a film documenting Romney’s big win at the nation’s first test of presidential vote-getting power.

The Mitt TV crew in Ames, Iowa. (l to r) Executive producer Michael Kolowich, audio engineer Russ Tomlinson, videographer Larry LeCain, producer Jillayne Smyth, and director of photography Bill CharetteIn late January, under the direction of Executive Producer Michael Kolowich and producer Jillayne Smyth, two video crews from DigiNovations spent 24 hours on the road in Iowa with both Governor Romney and two of his sons, offering a rare inside look behind the scenes as the candidate and his family rounded up support for the August 11th Iowa Straw Poll.  Then it was back to the studio to edit more than 26 hours of footage into a two-part documentary, called “24 Hours on the Trail” and a movie trailer to promote the video on YouTube and other venues.  The documentary and the trailer may be viewed on Mitt TV.

Two weeks later, it was back to Iowa to cover the big Iowa Straw Poll, which Governor Romney won by a big margin.  Here, multicamera coverage and speed were the imperative, and the crew turned around a three-camera cut of Romney’s major speech, a five-minute documentary on the Straw Poll win, and a 30-second TV spot within 48 hours.
