April 2017 Production Report
In December I had several days that I backed up producers in various cities. An Elvis in Delano shoot, the
Delano Christmas Tree Lighting on one night, Delano Old Fashioned Christmas the next morning and the
Watertown Christmas Tree Lighting that evening, Most of December was working on the City Works Police
video, which got a major rework in the end. These videos are dry to start with,what I had in December was
definitely a snoozer. I completely changed my frame of mind and the style of the video and what I ended up
with I am much happier to share.
January I helped out with a couple of meetings and continued to work on City Works, Got some more "B-Roll"
and started planning the summer. I uploaded some older programs to Viebit, and helped cities or producers as
needed with programming or meetings. I also had a two week vacation in there too. Arizona is great in the
winter.
February picked up a little. Got a first draft of City Works Police done, It needed some more "B-Roll"which I
got. I met Bruno, the new K9 Police Dog in Big Lake and got some footage of him. I started a new
construction project video for Monticello, and continued with Viebit and helping cities as needed. We are
continuing to work on the Watertown EDA video,
March was much busier. I started with the DC Expo and then the Big Lake Expo. Both videos I use the
ambassadors/royalty for the respective cities to interview all of the attendees to the expo, then edit it
down. Check out the Big Lake Expo video (Link Below), the ambassadors were a lot of fun and I put a blooper
reel at the end, it's pretty funny.
We started shooting the Monticello Construction Video with the Mayor talking about the project. March
11thwas the Maple Lake Parade and Ambassador Coronation. I emptied the movie trailer into the shed and
hauled it out to Maple Lake on Friday. We use the movie trailer as a broadcast booth, Maple Lake's parade
historically is either really nice or cold, this year it was cold,but we have had colder parades.
After the parade, Brian(probably my longest serving volunteer) and I drove to the school hauling in two
cameras and needed equipment to plug into their sound system. We set up and recorded the coronation. The
rest of the month until now has been editing or planning upcoming shoots and events.
Also this month was a vigil in Delano for a family dealing with racism. The city organized the event, and I set
up speakers for public address. And Lastly was the Delano Expo, just speakers for music and announcements.
Here is a list of some of the videos I worked on since our last meeting.
Sorry this report is so late, I was trying to get the Maple Lake Ambassador Coronation and City Works Police
finished and uploaded to Viebit to share with you.
Thanks
