History
The roots of Video Wisconsin go back to 1970, when John Barto and Mike Crivello established Crivello-Barto Films. As an independent film company they produced marketing, training and promotional films as well as numerous local and national television commercials for major corporations and advertisers.

Crivello and Barto were pioneers in an emerging niche of filmmakers servicing industrial and commercial clients. As their client base grew, so did their business. In 1984, the company moved to a modern facility and changed its name to Video Wisconsin, becoming one of the first companies in the country to offer computerized editing and digital video effects. Such a large investment in technology of this kind was, until this time, primarily restricted to television stations and major motion picture facilities.

In 1989, the video entity branched into producing meeting events, adding a division named Meeting Excellence. This led to the investment in a full complement of mobile video production equipment.

Rounding out its 20th century-growth was the purchase of an interactive media development company in 1997. At that time the company adopted a new name, IVM, Inc. (later I V Media, Inc), to demonstrate that their capabilities had grown beyond simply video production and post production services. The movement into electronic speaker support, video projection, meeting production, CD-ROM & web-site development and DVD authoring compliments the film and video roots of the company.

In 2007 the company re-embraced their roots and returned to their most recognized and respected name, Video Wisconsin. The company continues to offer all of the same services to its clients that it always has; from film and video production to the latest in interactive media. Video Wisconsin has made new investments in high-definition video and editing equipment. The company has added dynamic database web and interactive capabilities, and they have embraced the latest in digital distribution and tapeless workflows. It has also found some new niches in the areas of training, narrowcasting, and interactive simulation. The client base is comprised of Fortune 500 companies, industry, associations, and broadcast advertisers.
