HDV

HDV will be what DV did for production for HD. Imagine being able to shoot HD quality productions on a mini DV camcorder. The industry is moving very quickly on the editing end and mark my words at NAB I bet you will see at least 3 or 4 more HDV camcorders. I am excited because this will allow my clients to get HD quality without paying HD prices. I know some out there will be quick to point out that it isn't true HD, but to 85% of the people, if not more, will never know that it isn't as good as a varicam or HDCAM. Sure if the client has the money then they will get that quality, but this will allow the standard client to get something better.

Okay I am excited!

In the oh my gosh I forgot to put that on my blog category!

Okay a bit on the long side on that title! I forgot in all of the production of Avenue H I got a call from Panagrafik (a local ad agency) to help with a tsunami relief piece. Bellatazza, a local coffee company, decided to give back to help in the relief efforts with a special relief blend of coffee with proceeds going to the relief efforts. Their goal is $50,000 and I know they will make it. If you are interested in how you could get a pound of this coffee visit Bellatazza.com and see how you can help.

Some images from the Avenue H DVD

As you can see a lot of work went into this piece. If you are interested in either Avenue H or seeing their DVD email me at pinnacleevents@gmail.com.

Blog Marketing...

So a couple of older posts that I found interesting:

IPG Establishes Blog Specialty Group
NEW YORK Interpublic Group's MWW Group said it has set up a blogging subsidiary.

Called Blog 360, the division promises to help corporations create blogs that will provide "a unique and highly effective platform to connect with key constituents and audiences who are more difficult to reach via traditional marketing and public relations," the agency said in a statement.

Blog 360 has enlisted the expertise of Stephen Morgan Friedman, who runs the blog overheardinnewyork.com. "Through blogs, MWW's clients will have the ability to truly speak the language of their customers," he said.

Also this interesting note on Blog readership.

So I guess I just keep on blogging. I hope you all enjoy at least reading every once in a while.

Where have you been?

Okay so a little late in posting here... For those who read often I appologize for not posting sooner, but after several long nights last week finishing up what we affectionately call version 1 of the Avenue H DVD I took a little break. We put the final authoring touches on it early Sunday morning and it is an amazing example of a great team putting everything in place. Conor from LJ3 Entertainment did a fantastic job of mixing the audio from multiple source including some multi-track sessions and some stereo recordings on Mini Disc. I will post a couple of snapshots of it on here tomorrow. So what is next...

1) Short promo piece for my kid's school
2) Media Mania for Bend Winterfest
3) Another Above the Noise
4) Drake Awards
5) Enjoy the early spring in Central Oregon

Oh we can only dream!

A typical Day?

Okay all of you out there reading my blog what does a typical day look like for you? I mean what do you do each day? I only ask because I am wanting to see how others structure their day and make it work for them.

So post your days!
