Scripts – Just What the Doctor Ordered

“A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
Thomas Mann

The difference between a good script and a bad one is that the writer gives up too soon on the bad one. Scripting is a process born of patience and perseverance, and there’s nothing like getting it right. Nothing.

At Hoffman we pride ourselves in our ability to quickly distill information about your company and project into a succinct narrative that brings your message to life. Speeches, videos, fun promotional pieces or web sites, we don’t stop until we’re golden.

Our award-winning writers work with you to explore creative options that fit your company’s culture and message. Whether it is a heartfelt emotional message, precision training, or a fun and lively parody, we approach each project with equal skill and dedication.

If you’ve worked with us, you know how we delight in getting it right. If you’re looking to partner with a team possessing passion, good humor, and ‘know how’, we’re just a phone call away.

Where in the world is Hoffman?

Hoffman converted the San Antonio Convention Center into a gargantuan television sound stage for International Dairy Queen’s biannual Expo. This unique talk show set featured multiple stages and a live band with backdrops of a Spanish mission and the San Antonio skyline.

The atmosphere of being in a live studio audience was brought to life with an interactive format between the host on the talk show set and the presenters.

Video support was provided for the Iron Tip Cake Decorating competition within the Exhibit Hall. At the Marriott Rivercenter we provided production and technical support for the evening entertainment, Diamond Rio.

We’re proud once again to have raised the bar by generating audience excitement while keeping the focus right where it should be: On the message!

The Mother of all Conventions is coming!

If you’re not planning to be a part of the Republican National Convention, you might want to rent your house to a conventioneer and get out of town!

The activity is buzzing around this massive event now that the party is close to nominating a candidate. The convention at Xcel Energy Center from September 1-4 is expected to draw nearly 35,000 people, and the projected new revenue to Minnesota is estimated at $160 million.

Given the complex logistics of a celebration this size, we’ve teamed up with Twin Cities Strategies (TCS) to provide insightful information about the convention and its ancillary activities. By creating a single-source, database directory of metropolitan facilities and event spaces, we’re poised to provide timely recommendations and solutions based on solid information.

Many of our trusted service providers from around the country are joining us with gear and expertise. Transportation management, audiovisual crews, hospitality staff and event project managers are all climbing on board.

GoogleTM, a major contributor to the convention, has created www.GOPConvention2008.com, the convention’s official web site featuring a full-range of GoogleTM products and customized search tools. The convention's YouTube channel will enable visitors to upload, view, and share online videos, which is another area where Hoffman comes in.

By offering StreamIt!, a process that records, captures, and quickly streams video, we make it easy to capture and send videos anywhere in the world. Our fully equipped studio in Minneapolis’ Itasca Building features fiber connectivity for live and taped feeds whether it’s for C-SPAN, YouTube or the BBC, we’re ready!

… and this is only the beginning!
