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.

Bucks County Aikido

We produced this short, documentary style promotional video for Bucks County Aikido. It was an honor to help represent a traditional Martial arts Dojo and witness the mastery and way of life from the teachers and students. We began by scripting shots and interview questions in pre-production. We coordinated time to shoot some Hollywood style action shots and conduct interviews with the members. We returned to capture time-lapse footage and live class action including Zazen meditation. Finally, the footage, interviews and the strategically selected music score was weaved together to tell the story of life as a Martial arts warrior.

Genesys Aerosystems

Being a videographer is cool. Every job brings a delightful variety of people, locations, and purpose. Of all the variety I must admit that todays job tops them all. I had the extreme pleasure of visiting Carson Helicopters and filming inside the cockpit of an S61 helicopter! Thats the same model the president uses! We were brought in to capture the new digital instrument panels made by Genesys Aerosystems in use. Yea -IN USE. They flew me around Pennsylvania for almost 3 hours. What a ride… I had never had a job like this and I hope to do it again soon!

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!
