Meet the Staff: Dan Kosan

April 26, 2012  by Betsy Johnson

Dan Kosan, a seven-year veteran at Tri-Marq, is one of Tri-Marq’s two editors (both coincidentally named Dan). He graduated in 2004 from Marquette University. Dan’s previous experience includes being the production director and station manager at Marquette University Television and assistant editor on A&E’s “Cold Case Files” television show. His awards and recognitions include being an Eagle Scout, being named MUTV Staff Member of the Year, and receiving two Telly Awards.

Dan’s goal has always been to use his talents for some greater good, and he’s found that ability in media production. In college, Dan had the opportunity to do a charitable video, which was a moving experience for him. He looks forward to working on projects such as those.

Dan’s favorite show to work on was the 2010 Marquette Golden Eagles men’s basketball video “Realize the Dream.” Dan’s hard work on the video helped it to win a Telly Award. Dan has been in the industry for years, but still gets nervous showing off his work, even to friends and family.

Dan grew up in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, and as such, his favorite team is the Chicago Bears. He enjoys reading, especially books on spiritual philosophy, attending sporting events and hiking.

Dan’s favorite movies are Apollo 13, Man on Fire, The French Connection, and The Naked Gun. He prefers Coke over Pepsi and his favorite food is anything his wife makes “I’m really proud of the cook she’s become,” he states.

So far, Mexico is Dan’s favorite place he’s traveled to, but he hopes to do a lot more traveling in the coming years. He prefers PC over Mac, Windows phones over iPhones and Androids, summer over winter, Firefox over Safari, Chrome, and Explorer, and dogs over cats. If he could have dinner with anyone, it would be Martin Luther King, Jr. – “He was taken from us too soon, there’s so much to ask him about in the here and now.”

Dan’s trophies and toys

Dan’s words to live by:

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” –Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

“If I have had a mission to fulfill, it will only be possible to judge whether I have accomplished it by the extent to which others go beyond me.” –Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

This #tbt, we're throwing it back when we partnere This #tbt, we're throwing it back when we partnered with @greystarapartments to create this video geared toward employee recruitment. Tri-Marq had crews on location for several days at different locations and events, capturing several interviews from staff and executives, b-roll footage during construction tours, and finished properties.

Once location shooting was complete, Tri-Marq developed the story from the interviews. This phase began with transcriptions and searching through the hours of sound bites from the staff and executives. Once the story formed, b-roll, photographs and music and sound track are added to round out the video.

Greystar used this video as an addition to their efforts to recruit new employees through their campus visits and online. In addition to this long-form video, Tri-Marq also created shorter, easy to digest clips for each topic for individual marketing purposes.
