Great to be back at Congregation Ner Tamid in Palos Verdes to record Nathan’s bar mitzvah video.The two minute highlight below is the latest, and perhaps the best in terms of audio and video quality. Because it’s not permitted to tape on the Sabbath, we recorded the ceremony rehearsal and the reception the following evening after havdalah. The rehearsal is a much more relaxed setting making camera placement and movement much less problematic. When Nathan went through his parts of the service I was able to have the camera just a few feet away from him resulting in the beautiful close-ups you’ll see in the video. Changes in camera position give the video a multi-camera feel even though a single camera was used throughout.
I had taped Nathan a few times prior to this in his stage performances with Encore Entertainers of Redondo Beach which is where I got to know his mother, Sharona, who works for E.E. He’s a natural performer and not at all camera shy. He’s a fierce competitor and the kid knows how to bust a move on the dance floor! The clip begins with a few very short highlights featuring Nathan and some close family members during the rehearsal, and ends with some reception highlights and a short still image montage to close, all in less than two minutes. As a side note, I’ll be recording four shows for E.E. in January, two of “Mary Poppin” and two of “Beauty and the Beast”.
Enjoy! and Share! and Mazal Tov, Nathan!!
