A clip I did in Vegas 5

Makes perfect sense- just never knew or thought to try that.

Charley- Yeah the highlight Vignette from the Nurse's Day Awards Ceremony a few months back was a bit more upbeat and hip w/ fast cuts and a more charged score. Personally I feel this peice is better from an objective videography standpoint. There were "more" things in that peice that bothered me than this one. I'm my own worst critic.

Btw, Edward has been sending me some .VEG's with some cool results he achieved using the balloons clip I sent him.

Feel free to post them if you want, Glen. You'll need to post the picture too.

Very nice... I need to learn more about the filtering and slomo in Vegas ..What do you do at the hospital?

I have a clerical position. Even if I end up doing Wedding Videography full-time I'd most likely still work there at least part time to continue recieving my state benefits.

Vince Debart · July 18th, 2004, 10:37 AM

I hear that... I work for a pretty good media co. the bennys are good and I like what I do ...doing weddings on the side since HI8 Canon L1. I want to grow the wedding business some more but would stay at my day job ..What camera did you use ..I think I saw a post where you had Pana. 100 but moved to the Sony 170 true? I have the 150 and love it at this time I am looking for a backup camera vx 2000 or pdx10.. I know the pdx10 is not very good in low light but it would be the backup so....

Yes it was shoot with a PD-170. All my current weddings are shot with a PD-170 and VX2100. I've worked with the DVX100, GL-1, XL-1s..and the PD-170/VX2100 are by far (IMO) the best wedding videography cams. Not only are they small and versitile they are unsurpassed in low light quality- dark receptions are no longer a hassle.

thanks Glen

I am a big Sony fan, very robust in the broadcast indst. and it is so in the videography world

I didn't see the previous clip but I didn't think the music quite fit on this one. Unless I misunderstand this was a celebration video, right? The music was a bit too somber for my taste.

Just my opinion.

It wasn't a "celebration" really it's an awards ceremony- I wanted it to have a more heart-felt dramatic feel to the opening.

Patrick King · July 20th, 2004, 01:57 PM

Damn thing nearly made me cry...had you shown the next sequence of shots, I'd have been giving a standing ovation, even if it was just for the Nurse of the Month award.

Good work!

Thank you kindly. I'm finished the project (the actual awards ceremony) and am now working on the highlight vignette. I'll post it as soon as it's done. It's night and day compared to the opening peice- it's more upbeat and fast...more like a celebration I suppose. I did it to 1. Show range in my editing- as this is a possible opportunity to do contracted work for the state and 2. For the audience. I know the HSA's (position that is being honored) will definitly dig a more upbeat and fun style of montage.

Really nice work, Glenn. A beautiful tribute to the nursing and healthcare organization you work for. I didn't know that you worked in the healthcare field. It's a field near and dear to my heart. Been a nurse for 12+ years. Done hematology oncology nursing for 7 1/2 years and ICU/CCU nursing for the rest. Really appreciate you sharing your gift of videography/editing in such a manner.

Regards,

Ted Fiebke, RN
