Special Thanks

MotionMasters would like to extend special thanks to those individuals and organizations who have been instrumental in the making of this documentary.

First, our deepest thanks to Dr. Ed Welch and the University of Charleston, for serving as our partner in this endeavor. Within minutes of explaining our intent to produce this documentary, Dr. Welch willingly offered to provide the financial oversight necessary for its production. Throughout the project, his staff has exemplified his commitment to excellence.

We also are deeply indebted to the staff at the State Archives, who patiently filled our requests for hundreds of photos, historical documents and archival film and video. They not only share their entrusted treasures, they share an enthusiasm for ferreting out just the “right” piece to illustrate the story. We could not be served better.

To the public servants at the Department of Administration — many thanks for assisting our crews as we shot the capitol at sunrise and sunset, under sunny skies and moonlit nights.

To Jim Casto, thanks for suggesting the topic to us. There are so many wonderful stories waiting to be told!

Finally, we want to applaud the efforts of Gov. Joe Manchin and First Lady Gayle Manchin, and the governor's administration, as well as the West Virginia Legislature, to preserve the magnificent building that we showcase in "A Moving Monument: The West Virginia State Capitol."
