Opened in Poe-town

I have the tremendous pleasure to announce that I am fully moved in and settled into Baltimore having moved in during Hurricane Irene and then spending a week in San Antonio for the 5LINX International Event.

While I will still be working in a large capacity for 5LINX Enterprises moving forward, it is my great desire to be able to work again in the Baltimore/D.C. area again as I did six years ago.

I look forward to meeting the community here and working together to produce some great work.

GO-ing to Monopoly town

A couple of weeks have passed since the last National Event for 5LINX and I want to add some notes to the last posting about the National Events.

For this National, my boss and I had talked about doing a 10th Anniversary theme for the videos, which would mean combing through 10 years of DV tapes and shooting new interviews.

All that time, effort, and sometimes even frustration seemed to bear quite a bit of fruit. This event attended by nearly 6,000 people was full of a lot of emotion, as we had the 9/11 flag in for display and for our charity donation (http://www.nbc40.net/news/17653/video).

So to be able to make the videos stand up with that event was something I felt was really important. Apparently they were very well received with many people asking if they could get copies of some of the videos I had made.

Sometimes you simply just like your job...and there are times that you feel 100 feet tall.

Major Success in Ft. Lauderdale

Only three weeks in, but I had a big surprise when I was to show a full set of videos at the 5LINX National Convention in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. My main responsibility for the show is all of the video segues and introductions for the various speakers and segments, as well as supervising the filming of broll.

While the preparation was intense, being able to help out with the live show is an amazing experience. Seeing that show live with immediate audience feedback is overwhelming. While I have had my work viewed by thousands in trade show settings or on video, never have I been there for a mass viewing. Really neat stuff.
