TKE 2000

We had the extreme pleasure of filming the initiation of the 2000th frater of the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) chapter at Drexel University in Philadelphia at the Bossone Research Enterprise Center. We love live event coverage like this because much like a wedding, it only happens once! It’s a special kind of privilege to have the job of capturing a fleeting moment in time – in multi camera glory too! It was homecoming week at Drexel. Nearly 77 years ago, Charles Morris Hobson, Jr. took the first TKE oath. 40 years later Joe Facenda would take his oath as Alpha Tau 1000. That brings us to this day. 2000. We also hear from John Anderson Fry, president of Drexel. He speaks “Today as you welcome your 2000th member, I hope you take enormous pride in TKE’s past and look forward to it’s future with even greater excitement. Congratulations on everything you have achieved together.” And quite an achievement it was. Truly better men for a better world.

RFAC Meeting at Lake Wallenpaupack

FUDR. Thats: Friends of the upper Delaware. Incredible, passionate people who truly understand and care about preserving the freshwater ecosystem of the upper Delaware river. They hired us to capture the annual RFAC meeting (Regulated Flow Advisory Committee) Held at the Lake Wallenpaupack Environmental Learning Center in Hawley, PA. It was an educational, and enlightening experience about the challenges and struggles between the people and the committee members. Do you know where your drinking water comes from?  I didn’t realize it, but NYC, New York city’s water supply comes primarily from the Delaware river. When things become out of balance by the powers of man, this greatly affects the natural ecosystem and the economy that depends on it. We were thankful to have experienced the event and deepen our understanding of the world around us.

Reunion at The Union League of Philadelphia

Feeling honored to be a part of this prestigious event. The 75th anniversary of the TKE (Tau Kappa Epsilon) Alpha Tau chapter at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. The event was held at the The Union League of Philadelphia. We arrived early to get B-roll of the chapter house on Powelton Ave. A history rich home, full of photogenic potential. We set up a multicam shoot at the event venue to capture consistent live coverage and insure we never missed a beat. We also set up a 2 camera interview station in a side room to capture stories, and testimonials from some of the alumni. The result was a full length real time edit of the entire event. We also edited the interviews and finally a 2:30 highlight reel to summarize the day. We are so privileged to have experienced such a rare and unique time for a prestigious group and to top it off, Jerry Blavat was there! Jerry Blavat aka- “The Geator with The Heater” and “the Boss with the Hot Sauce,” is a Philadelphia icon who hosted his own independent radio show in the 1960’s. Awesome.

New cinema rig!

We recently acquired our new cinema cameras! We are the proud owners of two Sony NEX-FS100’s. The Sony FS100 is an interchangeable lens 35mm sensor camera. That means that the imaging sensor matches that of standard Holywood film cameras!

We added the Metabones Speed Booster to adapt the Sony E mount to Canon EF making all of Canon’ finest lenses available for our use. The Speed booster also enlarges the 35mm sensor to full frame and adds an extra Fstop. This yields a cinematic shallow depth of field, and superior low light capabilities. Yea!
