Video taping live theater is an all time high for me! One of my favorite Encore shows is highlighted in the video below, “Shrek the Musical” seen recently at the Warner Grand. I taped two shows, two cameras, and enjoyed every minute of this upbeat, colorful, happy show! Recording live theater is a regular gig of mine, between Encore South Bay, PSPA, Nuestras Raices and South & West Torrance high schools, all told, about 25 shows a year.

Bringing a new 4K Sony Camera into the company in just a few days, PXW Z-280. Always looking to improve quality for our valued clients. Shortly after recording Shrek I recorded two performances of “Hunchback of Notre Dame”. What an emotional experience! Brilliantly produced. I’ll have a highlight in my next post.

First of all, please enjoy the 4 minute video highlight from Encore’s production of the Hunchback of Notre Dame below! We film about 20 shows annually for Encore.

Thank you to all of our clients for making 2018 an exceptional video production year!! Lots of  stage shows to film…productions by Encore at REBAC  (Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center), and the Warner Grand in San Pedro; six shows for PSPA (Peninsula School of Perming Arts) at the Norris; five shows annually for West & South High Schools who have been loyal clients for 35 and 15 years, respectively; Nuestras Raices Mexican folkloric dance, a client of five years now.

Lots of corporate work as well… training videos and seminars for McKinsey Consulting and Acuclaims; corporate testimonials for Western International Securities annual conference at Terranea and WINTER (Women In Non-Trational Employment Roles) in Long Beach, a couple of memorial services at Green Hills and an inspiring interview with aspiring para-olympian Ezra Fecht.

Also got to film at this year’s ANIME EXPO at the L.A. Convention Center for the Nutaku (adult video entertainment) company. Lots of fun, but OMG what a nightmare finding parking!!

BTW, I’ve got my eye on a new 4K Sony camcorder coming out at the end of July, 2018. It’s the PXW Z-280. Should make for some extraordinary filming! Looking forward to filming your next event.

Dove’s 100th birthday party featured an animated photo montage that I made from a stack of photos given to me by her family. Very few of the pictures arrived in picture perfect condition. Look at the before and after photos below to get a feel for how nicely a damaged photo can be ‘fixed’ so that it looks much better than the original. The repair was made in Photoshop in about 10 minutes. There were over 100 photos in this project, some of them with multiple problems including hue and exposure issues, red eye, torn edges, scratches and more. After each one of them was retouched the photos were subtly animated. Music and titles were added to create a video that’s sure to become a valuable family heirloom. A bit of the finished montage is shown below including our ‘signature’ montage finale.

Welcome to our brand new, talented drone pilot, Jordan, for the debut of 24KT’s aerial photography and videography service. Jordan is an FAA licensed pilot, born and raised in the South Bay, and very familiar with the area. We’re fully capable of providing up to 4K resolution for any aerial videography or photography needs including weddings and other special events, real estate, shows & fairs, sporting events and commercial productions. 24KT drone service includes on-site inspection prior to filming to check for airspace restrictions/obstacles as well as advisement in the event local permits are needed. Here’s a very short demo of some local aerial footage.

Country western singer, Mike Grady, in South Bay Country’s final performance at this year’s Harvest Festival at Green Hills. This was a foot-stompin’, highly attended success and a huge treat for all country music aficionados. I had the distinct pleasure of filming the band’s farewell concert knowing, as I did, that this show would always be an important part of Mike’s life. Now he has a video to look back on. Here’s a 5 minute highlight of the concert. Enjoy!

Beautiful visuals in this outdoor 80th Birthday Celebration for Bob Bacinski on the patio of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. Just me and my camera this time, working solo for the first time in a while without my P.A. but enjoying the experience and the freedom to move about the venue without restriction. Great lighting, great people! Bob wanted me to document the pre-reception set-up since it was all done by family and friends, and that’s how the highlight begins. Many of the guests responded with an on-camera birthday memory. Bob enjoyed taking me around to his guests so they could reminisce on camera. The highlight was made for the family as a part of their video package so it’s a bit longer than my other posts. Enjoy!

A note from our client:
I just had a chance to watch the highlight video and it is wonderful! I loved it so much! I appreciate that you captured so many special moments including the prep and set up, the atmosphere of the night, the wonderful interviews and moments of my dad’s speech.
You are the best!

Beautiful visuals adorn this still-image wedding video highlight of Eldiza and Lewis’ renewal of vows and reception aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA.
