Live Nation SPAC Premium Seating Promo

Live Nation Premium Seating at SPAC

The purpose of this video is to showcase Live Nation’s VIP premium seating program at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) for businesses that are interested in the program. Live Nation concerts are a huge draw at SPAC and it was fun to record various clips of rambunctious fans. Also, based on what I saw during the shoot, I think the VIP program is really cool program that offers a lot of value (which the video hopefully demonstrates ;-)). It seems like a perfect fit for businesses in the area that are looking for a fun way to entertain clients and reward employees.


Reality Dance Studio Web Commercial B+W

Reality Dance Studio

Here’s a short web commercial for a dance studio in Queensbury, called Reality Dance Studio, which offers dance instruction for all ages in ballet and a variety of other styles of dance. It was fun to style this video the way that the owner of the studio, Caroline, wanted it to look like, and I’m happy with how it turned out. Also, thanks go to Skyler for being a great actress/dancer in the video. Company Website: http://www.realitydancestudio.com

Yannick Nézet-Séguin of the Philadelphia Orchestra

The other day I had the pleasure of filming an interview with the current conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin. I look forward to seeing what the organization will create with the footage. I also plan on attending an upcoming performance of the the orchestra while it’s still in town at SPAC.

National Museum of Dance Promo

National Museum of Dance Promo Video

Here’s a promo video that was just completed for the National Museum of Dance. It was played at the recent annual gala event and will soon be up on the museum’s website. It was fun to get footage of the interesting architecture, exhibits, and decorations, as well as the dance practices and performances. I also enjoyed working with the friendly staff at the museum. If you’re interested in learning about the history of dance, there are plenty of exhibits at the museum to check out, and if you’re interested in learning how to dance, the museum has its own School of the Arts program. Though I’ve never performed dance on stage, I certainly appreciate the art form and having places like the National Museum of Dance to go to makes me feel fortunate to reside in Saratoga Springs.

Black Dog Designs Web Commercial

Black Dog Designs LLC

It’s very understandable why Black Dog Designs LLC is a well-respected branding and design firm in Glens Falls, New York. They do great work, are passionate about what they do, and keep customer service a high priority. One of the first things I noticed when I first met with the owner, Jesse, was his off-the-wall enthusiasm and I think that trait shows in the work that his company produces. It’s also very fitting that his idea for this web commercial was to make it packed with high-energy. If you’re a fan of graphic design, dogs, and dubstep then this web commercial should be relevant to your interests. Check out their website at: http://www.blackdogllc.com.


2014 National Museum of Dance School of the Arts Showcase

National Museum of Dance School of the Arts Showcase 2014

The New York City Ballet performing at SPAC this week, and here’s a video that features a good amount of little ballerinas. It’s a highlight of the dance showcase hosted by the National Museum of Dance’s School of the Arts at the Spa Little Theater in Saratoga Springs, New York.  It was fun to capture the variety of pre-dance activities the performers participated in before they took the stage as well as the actual performances.

The Saratoga Home & Lifestyle Show: Quick Overview

Here is a video that gives a quick overview of what the Saratoga Home & Lifestyle Show is about. The purpose is to give viewers a rundown of the annual show hosted by the Saratoga Rotary Club. Thank you Vic Cinquino for going on-camera and sharing your knowledge about the show.

The Saratoga Home & Lifestyle Show

The Saratoga Home & Lifestyle Show

It was a pleasure to film the Saratoga Home & Lifestyle Show hosted by the Saratoga Springs Rotary Club at the City Center. I didn’t know much about the show before taking on the project, but I’ve gained a tremendous of respect for the outreach that it provides. The proceeds from the show help many local community nonprofit organizations, provide youth scholarships, and also support international aid programs. In addition to providing funds for local and international programs, the show helps local businesses gain exposure in the community and allows consumers to learn more about products and services that can help them with their home and lifestyle needs. The purpose of this video is to give prospective exhibitors a feel for what the show is all about. Several more videos about the Saratoga Home & Lifestyle Show have also been produced, and I’ll make posts about those as well. All of the Saratoga Springs Rotary Club members at the show were very welcoming and friendly. Special thanks goes to Deborah Miles Czech for her help in every phase in the video project. Thank you also to Jim Marco for lending his voice for the voiceover and Tom Stock for the overhead still photo of the show.

Union College President Ainlay

In it, Union’s President Stephen Ainlay shares a few of his thoughts on choosing a higher education facility. It was a pleasure to film President Ainlay, get footage of Union’s campus, and also work alongside Success Public Relations. The video can currently be viewed on Union’s Office of the President website: http://www.union.edu/offices/president/.


Saratoga Botanicals Promo

Saratoga Botanicals Organic Spa & Store

It’s always a treat to create videos for businesses that have products/services that are relevant to my interests. I try to buy organic and natural products, and that’s what Saratoga Botanicals is all about. It’s both a spa and a store that carries a proprietary line of skincare and beauty products, as well as teas, essential oils, tinctures, aromatherapy products, bug repellent; all of them natural. The spa offers a variety of services which include massages, acupuncture, skin care services, facials, and reiki. I can go on and on writing about what Saratoga Botanicals is about, but it’d actually be easier and likely more effective to just watch the video (hey I guess that’s why they wanted the promo video created in the first place!). I’ve always gotten a relaxing vibe whenever I’ve stepped inside the store, and it’s probably a combination of the sweet aroma from the herbal products, the soft ambient music that’s playing, the clean layout of the store, and possibly even the energies that the several crystals within the store emit. I’ve also gotten a couple of spa treatments and can testify to positive effects that the services have on the mind, body, and spirit. Their website is: http://saratogabotanicals.com and you can check out the two videos I’ve created for them so far on their YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SaratogaBotanicals.
