Midland, Pa:     Kinetic Images, a Midland-based digital media production company, is proud to announce that the Henry Berger Jewelers� TV commercial "Dancin� Days," has won a 1996 Telly. The Telly Awards were founded in 1980 to showcase and give recognition to outstanding non-network and cable TV productions.

              The commercial was scripted, shot, mixed, and edited by the Kinetic Images production team. Some of the effects used on this spot are hand painted effects for video, 3D animation, morfing, and a multi-track digital score. "We like to have fun with these productions. We want the whole campaign to be an entertaining fantasy. Arnie comes up with some very challenging, imaginative little situations," Fritz Hartman, President of Kinetic Images. "Dancin� Days" is one of six spots produced by Kinetic Images for Henry Berger Jewelers to date. This is the only Telly awarded to a Beaver County production company - for a television commercial - in 1996.

             "Dancin� Days" aired on cable in the greater Aliquippa area in July and August of 1995. The spot is an announcement for Henry Berger Jewelers� annual diamond days sale. The commercial stars Arnie Sales, owner of Henry Berger Jewelers; Steve Jackson, from Sewickley, Pa; and a team of dancers. The dancers are: Joshua Aubin, Brad Flood, Leah Kanitra, Brandee Leheny, Burt Mamula, and Mira Prigorac - all from Aliquippa, Pa.

              Kinetic Images was founded several years ago as a specialty 3D computer animation and video effects house for local video producers and ad agencies. It has since grown into a full-service video production company and Internet publisher. In the past year Kinetic Images has completed projects for the Community College of Beaver County, Carlow College, Von Roll/WTI, Wetzel Martial Arts, Harrington and Mitchell Advertising, Underground Productions, PCME Magazine, and VideoTone Productions.
