Richmond Post Production

by admin on Dec.16, 2009, under Wedding Video

madboxMad Box is a new post crew that is working in the downtown Richmond area.  The work being done at Mad Box is on par with New York professional post houses.  They recently decided to add me as one of their editors and I’m very honored to start working with Mr. Williams and the rest of the crew. The 9WG facility that houses the tapeless Mad Box room is certainly state of the art and is equipped with FCP raid editing for up to 4K resolution, generated when using a RED camera.  9W6 has some other rooms and features including a green screen in the kitchen, recording studio, in-house catering, free hotel rooms, nice people and the list goes on.  The grand opening a few weeks ago brought out post production (Malkie crew) from the Martin Agency, Runnning with Scissors. Other agencies, production crew and producers from all over joined in the festivities.  It was complete with grand tours and lots of tasty morsels. Click the image below to visit their new website…

Wedding Gig in Downtown Richmond

by admin on Sep.07, 2009, under Wedding Video

Main Street Train Station, Richmond, VAI shot a wedding video this weekend in the Downtown Richmond, VA at the Reveille United Methodist Church. It turned out to go very smooth and everything ran on time down to the very last minute, except when I had to get a ride back to the church from the reception because the bride and groom (Heather & Blake) asked me to ride with them in the Cadillac Escalade stretch limo. Wow, what a nice ride!!! We stopped at 3 different location downtown for various photo ops including the location that Blake proposed to Heather. It was a magic on video.

The reception was at the Main Street Train station and the night went completely according to plan. The party was a grand ole time and everyone seemed to have a blast. I should have the video edited within a week or two and will post a montage of the ceremony and reception online.

The Animation Experience

by admin on Jun.17, 2009, under Wedding Video


I had the great pleasure of working with a fantastic Ad Agency this past week on an animation project.  It was my first job with the new Agency, so I didn’t really know what to expect.  Some Agencies have it all together, while others are still trying to figure out a good process.  This particular company have it down to a science, from task agreements to online timesheets.  They know how to get the job done.

- The storyboard they provided was well drawn out and a perfect example of what a storyboard should look like.  (see top-right image)

- The Resolution is HD, so the image is amazing.

- The 3D Elements are included to enhance the animation realism.

High quality ad agencies make my job as a freelancer much more satisfying.
