November 2006

It's been several months since my last update and much has happened.

The last several months we've been busy providing camera and sound services to other production companies and businesses. It's been a lot of diverse work from simple one camera interviews to b-roll to multi-camera studio productions. I even spent a week at a Nevada goldmine. Talk about different!

That's why I love this business. We get to meet and work with many different people for short periods of time, often under diverse and stressful conditions and create a unique product every time.

We have four projects in various stages of pre-production and plan to start production on two of them soon.

Dave enjoyed teaching so much this past Fall, so he agreed to teach two more classes for the Technical Communications department at Metro. The first classes are COM2420, a Basic Video Production course, and COM 3420 an Intermediate Video production course.
