Phoenixville Country Club Video

The Phoenixville Country Club is a great place for a wedding. We made this promotional video recently for their website. Besides being one of the most beautiful settings to have your wedding in Chester County, the bookings are handled by the nicest person in the wedding and event industry, Dawn Gannon.

 

Why Italian Switzerland?

Did you know that in certain Alpine valleys populations live which are Italian by culture and Swiss by nationality? We didn't either until we videoed an international conference at the University of Pennsylvania entitled "Why Italian Switzerland?" In addition to videoing all the

 sessions we also took photos of the dignitaries and scholars.

There were two translators in a booth at the back doing simultaneous interpreting from Italian into English and vise versa. Attendees wore radio headsets like they do at the U.N. to hear the translation live. 

Senator Filippo Lombardi, a member of the Upper House of the Federal Swiss Parliament, was an engaging speaker.

Professor Mario Botta is a world-renown architect. His Powerpoint presentation was very interesting. Botta studied under famed architect Louis Kahn at Penn. At a lunch break he

and his wife sat next to us, and I thought they were very down to earth and friendly.

 

By the conference's end I thought that I would really like to go see Switzerland, and especially Italian Switzerland, where I now have friends. 

Our Favorite Subject

One of the best perks of having all this fancy video equipment is being able to record our son, Henry, in HD. I think there's more footage of him than there is of Elvis! But seriously, I don't know when we'll have time to edit it. Maybe by the time he's in college.

HD video

We are in full stride shooting and editing in HD. All of our 2008 clients are having their events shot in high definition. They'll get standard definition DVDs at first and when Apple comes out with computers with Blu-ray burners built in, we'll be delivering on Blu-ray discs. 

Our HD footage is amazing. We are using cameras with larger chips than those that were in our SD cameras, so in addition to being widescreen, the footage looks like film. It's beautiful! I love using these cameras. They are a little bulkier and they have more functions to master, but the images are stunning.  

Henry's Here

We welcomed baby Henry into our family on Friday night, April 4. He  surprised us by coming a month early. He was 6 pounds 7 ounces and 20 inches. We think he's adorable and we love him very much. Just think, in several years we'll have another videographer in the family.

Michelle and Ben

Michelle and Ben were married at St. Patrick's Church with an amazing reception at the Racquet Club. It was a beautiful day with elegant venues. The photos by Marie Labbancz were breath-taking. Marie is a true master of her craft, and we had a great time working with her.

And these are the comments from Michelle:

Ben and I recently received our wedding video DVD. We could not be happier with the finished product. You truly captured the day. So far everyone we have showed the DVD to raved about how beautiful the DVD is. We are so grateful to have our day captured on film forever. Thanks again for your professionalism and enthusiasm working on our DVD the day of the wedding and after.
