Extra Info

Somehow I became the guy that makes these videos. And that's ok, I truly enjoy this. Note I do this in my "spare" time, and I take my time to work on the edits to get a good video. I video for a few groups and not really looking for more, but if you do want me to video something (and dont need it quickly) or do editing work let me know. I'd rather video a play than it not get videoed at all. I do not do weddings. My setup is best for plays, conferences, and music performance types of programs. I do not have the best equipment, best skills, or any staff to help with this. (Although my wife helps as an assistant when moving, setting up and taking down equipment). But somehow you all seem to enjoy what I come up with so lets do it!

Each video I can spend from 20 - 40 hours on depending on the program length and complexity. During editing I carefully select each scene the angles and editing I can use for each minute of dialogue. These are filmed live, there are no 'takes', you will see mistakes by the performers, and by myself. This is the charm of live theater. I try to make the videos cinematic, I want you to watch these on a large screen in your home theater. Unless explicitly given permission to use the graphics and logos for a show, I also make the graphic designs. I recreate the logos, I make the artwork for the disc cases. I used to (and still sometimes) use an artwork provider we subscribe to for clip art style elements and put them all together with Photoshop. Since the start of 2022 I have been experimenting with AI programs, and most of the disc artwork from 2022 to current has been produced as original art with the help of AI and my art direction in Photoshop to create new original art. I put together and edit your images into a slideshow and videos from you all as a bonus feature. I also manage these web product and ordering pages and inventory. All this is extra work above just videoing your performance and why your video is not yet ready.

My Schedule

Below is my schedule so you can get an idea of my timeline for working on videos. I work on these in the order they are filmed. I'll list all the things I'm videoing and editing below. (Unless its some quick project) Not all of these will be discs, some of these will be delivered online only, or privately so they will be removed from this video ordering page when they're done. But this way you can see my pipeline of where I am in filming and editing. Filming a performance also takes a few days away from editing whatever I was working on. I do know of other performances that I may be filming, but have not been confirmed yet. Once confirmed I will add them to the list.

Current editing projects as of 6/1/2023

March 4, 2023 McGregor Hall - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Done, placed test order of discs today, will get in about a week and then can open up orders if all good)

April 1, 2023 Franklinton Area Community Theatre - Oliver! (In Progress.  This project is more difficult than usual due to the way we recorded the audio, we have all 32 tracks individually from the soundboard.  We've just finished importing and organizing the media and took some time to learn how to edit all these tracks. This one will be some time to complete.)
