Follow on Google News | Harley-Davidson Video Takes Best in Show at Addy AwardsMade in York, a video MessageMakers produced for Harley-Davidson, won a Gold Addy and Best in Show: Broadcast at the Mid-Michigan ADDY® Awards.
By: Tina Ray "Made in York is an honest piece about the challenges and opportunities of a major company evolving to the next stages of its growth," said video editor Tom Lietz, "told through the story of the factory in York, Pa. The video was developed to provide Harley Owners Group members with a 'peek behind the curtain' and a sense of the vision and direction present at all levels in the Harley-Davidson Motor Company." "We took a true documentary approach," said videographer Tim Whalen, "documenting the situation as it happened. A Harley executive who had started his career in the York plant came back to his roots to show us around, helping us to meet and talk with people we might not have otherwise interacted with, people at all levels of the company." "Harley employees were incredibly open to our team—it was a collective geek-out about the process of building motorcycles," This openness enabled the use of innovative camera techniques: clamped to a motorcycle frame moving through the assembly line, covered in plastic running through the paint system, attached to workers' tools in use, and even fastened to a 360-degree-rotational pinstripe painting robot as it spun through its work. Made in York has been played at numerous large events and distributed on DVD to thousands of Harley Owners Group members.
