The Status Queue

September 29, 2007

I finished production of Kenneth and Shirley’s 50th anniversary video today. Next up is some serious work on Walt and Dawn’s wedding video edit, with possibly some more T-Ball and softball videos sprinkled in between. When I am editing, I will simultaneously be transferring some VHS to DVD (with light editing) for a client of mine who is interested in preserving videos of her son.

I am keeping an eye out for turning leaves. Once they are at their best, I have an outdoor video shoot to do with the seniors.


Autumn Leaves Means Outdoor Video Shoot

September 23, 2007

It is Autumn in Kirksville, MO and the leaves will be turning soon. That means the time is near for shooting senior videos. Once the leaves are just right, I will take a break from editing wedding video and go to Forest Lake at 1000 Hills State Park for some outdoor shooting of my seniors.

This year, I have three seniors who will be making senior videos. The shoot at 1000 Hills is just one component of their senior video.


Anniversary Video and Wedding Video in the Queue

September 23, 2007

Editing: I started editing Ken and Shirley’s 50th wedding anniversary video Saturday. Their party was last week, in Memphis, MO. I plan to incorporate a few elements from their anniversary slide show into this video. I hope to be finished before the end of September, as this is now a “rush” request.

Capturing to computer: I am still capturing footage for Walt and Dawn’s wedding video. It would have been in editing by now, had I not had to put a rush on the Elliott Anniversary project, due to health reasons.


Event Videography

September 20, 2007

From The Video Scribe:

Why hire a videographer to capture your special event?

quoteMemories fade. Videos linger.

Your family heritage is important. Video tells a story pictures can’t. When you hire an event videographer, you invest in your cherished memories. The result is a multimedia presentation rich in the sights and sounds of your special event, one which you will pass on with pride to your children’s children, knowing it will last a century.

I do wedding and other event videography as well as slide shows in Kirksville and the surrounding area. Slide shows are the perfect addition for viewing at your special event, such as wedding reception, anniversary, or family reunion. In addition, I can archive your older photographs or home movies. Sometimes, home video is “boring” to watch, why not let me edit some of the highlights into a family DVD production you will be proud of?


Happy Anniversary Kenneth and Shirley

September 16, 2007

Today was Kenneth and Shirley’s 50th wedding anniversary party. I had the honor of shooting the event and will edit the footage and create a DVD for them. I work with their daughter, so I already knew her, but I got to meet their two sons and many others in their family. They are a great bunch of people and all very nice.

The slide show I made for the occasion was playing in one area of the room (looping) and many people saw it and made nice comments to me about it. I am glad they all enjoyed it. A condensed version of the slide show can be seen here.


New Videos On The Story Board

September 8, 2007

I had a chance to upload a couple new video highlights to The Story Board page on thevideoscribe.com. One is a highlight clip of “Danny’s” 2007 T-Ball season. The other is the highlight version of Kenneth and Shirley’s 50th wedding anniversary slide show. I am still working on “Sandy’s” T-Ball and “Jaime’s” softball clips. Check back soon for more.

I finished production on Ken and Shirley’s 50th anniversary slide show today. It is in packaging right now. I plan to give their daughter a sneak preview it tomorrow. Their anniversary party is September 16th and I will be there to shoot video.

Dick and Rene’

September 5, 2007

Last night I finished production and packaging for Dick and Rene’s 25th wedding anniversary slide show. I didn’t have a lot of notice to do the job, but I am on vacation this week, so I have had plenty of time to get it put together and I really enjoyed doing it for them.

Business License Paperwork

September 5, 2007

I filled out and handed in paperwork along with the appropriate fees for obtaining my business license today. The lady at City Hall said it should be ready by the first of next week. She said with a home business, they may or may not inspect anything. They might drive by to see how much parking I have; I have two driveways, so that should not be a problem. I don’t plan on conducting meetings or doing business in my home anyway. My home office is simply where I do my work.
