Green Bay, November 17, 2005: Darren Lutz, President and Creative Director of Balance Studios, ranks right up there with Mel Gibson. That’s because he is the proud recipient of the same award that Gibson received last year for “The Passion of the Christ”. Lutz received two Unity Awards that were presented by the United Catholic Music & Video Association (UCMVA) on Saturday, November 12, 2005 at the O’Shaughnessy Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota. Like Gibson, Lutz won “Video Producer of the Year” for “Like a Train”, a music video he produced and directed for Ceili Rain, an International Irish Rock Band. Lutz and Executive Producer, Tina Lutz, took a more literal approach and chose to shoot the video at Green Bay’s National Railroad Museum, a setting that was a perfect compliment to the metaphoric song. Their choice and work paid off because the video also won “ Music Video of the Year”.

Balance Studios began working with Ceili Rain in September 2001 when Bob Halligan, Jr., the band’s lead singer commissioned them to redefine their entire visual presence in the marketplace. The transformation was initiated with a new website and web log or “blog” and was followed by four music videos (three of them shot in Ireland) and a DVD Anthology that was released earlier this year. Ceili Rain was founded in 1991 and tours internationally with a unique blend of rock’n’roll and Celtic flavors, a sound that is exciting, danceable, joyous and musically unique. The band is currently wrapping up year’s tour but they made sure Titletown was on their map. Ceili Rain helped Balance Studios kick off their “First Annual Half-Way to St. Patrick’s Day” Celebration that was held on October 15, 2005 at the Sports Corner in De Pere.

Darren and Tina Lutz established Balance Studios in Green Bay in 2001. The company specializes in animation, advanced interactive media, special effects, and broadcast productions. Some of their clients include: OCP/Spirit and Song, Screen Magazine-Chicago, The Karma Group-Green Bay, and Lindsay, Stone & Briggs-Madison. They are located at 1263 Main St., Suite 212 in the Main Street
