Mid-Atlantic BX Awards Video Segment

We had the privilege of producing 8 segments for the Mid-Atlantic BX’s 2009 Craftsmanship Awards a few months ago (OK, OK so it took me a while to get the story posted). Anyway, we shot 4 days on location to capture student interviews and produce a 7-minute highlight reel as well as shooting 4 days green screen for other craftsmen. The on-camera greenscreen shots were combined and composited with still images and other graphics to create 4-minute videos to highlight the nominees in each of 8 categories.

We also handled the awards night event with theatrical lighting, Emcee and multi-camera recording and projection. The recording was dumped to an interactive DVD for a memento to the nominees and winners.

All in all it was about a 6-month process and over in just a very short 75 minutes. What a great time we all had!

Here’s what my Emcee, Buster Maxwell, had to say about the event:“Steve did an amazing job pulling together a ten-person crew of stage and video production people for the Mid-Atlantic BX (Builders Exchange) Awards at the Hilton Harrisburg for a large and enthusiastic crowd. Not only did he efficiently set up and run a tech rehearsal with precious little time, he also cooly and calmly directed the entire evening’s festivities, which included projected video and live camera shots, plus music and live performance. He and his talented staff at Final Focus also produced nine excellent award videos, which highlighted each awardee’s accomplishments in a respectful and illuminating fashion. I was honored to be the MC for the event, and I’m happy to say that Steve and I met right here – on LINKEDin.”
