Ballston Spa National Bank (BSNB) was named to Albany Business Review’s list of the best places to work for 2022, and the bank reached out to have a video produced that could be shown during the recognition ceremony.

Congratulations to BSNB and I wish you many more years of being a top place to work!


Chowderfest 2022 || Discover Saratoga || Full Video

Discover Saratoga // Chowderfest 2022 // Promo Video

Here’s a promotional video created for Discover Saratoga’s 2022 Chowderfest. This year’s Chowderfest features both the weeklong tour that was implemented last year, as well as the traditional day-long Chowderfest format from prior years. One could say that this video was a long time in the making, as the footage was shot during the 2020 Chowderfest event in February, just a few weeks prior to the lockdown.  It’s promising that since that time, things have started to look a bit more normal again and the time honored tradition of Chowderfest is back in Saratoga.


Opera Saratoga || A New Year's Celebration || Live Performance Video Sample

Opera Saratoga // A New Year’s Celebration // Live Performance Video Sample

Opera Saratoga had planned to host a free live concert performance by Zachary James at Universal Preservation Hall (UPH) in Saratoga Springs on New Year’s Eve, though with the spread of the Omicron variant, they made the tough, but pretty necessary decision to cancel the in-person portion of the event. They did, however, decide to continue with the performance  in a video recorded format, so that people would be able to view the show from the comfort of their homes. Here’s a  brief segment of the performance, where Zachary is accompanied by Laurie Rogers on the piano, singing “Pure Imagination”, which many people, including myself, remember from the film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Zachary has performed on Broadway and played Don Quixote in Opera Saratoga’s 2021 Man of La Mancha. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to play a part in giving people the chance to view the performance of the talented artist .

The video provides an overview for faculty members on how to facilitate an inter-professional educational team of pharmacy and medical students.

Holiday Inn Saratoga Springs || Virtual Tour

Holiday Inn Saratoga Springs // Virtual Tour Video

The pandemic has certainly changed many things in the world, with the business industry being no exception, as many of us know. Here’s a virtual tour video produced for the Holiday Inn of Saratoga Springs, which gives people the opportunity to learn more about what the hotel offers without having to physically visit the location. The video provides viewers with information regarding the hotel’s conference, wedding, and general guest stay services. It was particularly special to produce the video for this venue, because of my past ties to it. It’s where Skidmore’s time honored MB107 (Management and Business 107) presentations take place, which I participated in during my first semester. It was also the go-to hotel for my parents when they visited me during my college and post-college years, with the hotel’s dog-friendly accommodations definitely playing a role in making that decision. From my experiences with them from the past and for this most recent project, I whole-heartedly recommend that people looking for a hotel in the Saratoga Springs area to look into the Holiday Inn!  


Discover Saratoga || Membership Promotional Video

Discover Saratoga // Membership Promo Video

Awhile back I had created a promotional video for the Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau ( Discover Saratoga) that showcased the benefits of being a member of the organization,, and was called on again to help produce a refreshed version.  This video consists of testimonials given by current members of Discover Saratoga and the benefits they’ve seen by being a part of the organization. My business has been a member for quite a few years now and  can testify for the great features and benefits that were discussed in the video.  I send well wishes to organizations in the convention and tourism industries during this current time where the pandemic has changed the landscape of their businesses, and would certainly recommend that they consider joining Discover Saratoga if they aren’t already members, to help them navigate through this current situation and help them flourish for many years to come.


Opera Saratoga || Man of La Mancha Pre-Show Video || Summer 2021 Season

Opera Saratoga // Man of La Mancha Pre-Show Promo Video // Summer 2021

It was great to get back to filming for Opera Saratoga for the 2021 summer season. Featured in this post is a video showing behind the scenes footage for the preparation of the Man of La Mancha show as well as interviews with people involved in the show. Man of La Mancha was performed at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) and this video was projected onto the in-house video screens at the venue before each performance. Just like previous seasons, I enjoyed  getting to witness some top quality performances and gaining more breadth in the performing arts.
