Ray's Videographer Desk October 13, 2010

Hello to all my friends & collegues:

I haven't blogged in a while.  I've been pretty busy editing and also working at KOAM-TV as we are constructing a new set as it should finish by next week.  Last week the set came in and we started putting it all together.  Take a look thus far:

Before

After (So Far)

There is still quite a bit to do.  This week we installed lighting on the set.   We still have some more lighting to put together then our graphics and backdrops for the set should be in by Friday.  So I've been putting in about 10 hours or so a day besides doing my regular duties then running home and attempting to edit my wedding videos.





Next year I'm getting excited about the upcoming wedding season in 2011.  We have our new wedding collections available as well as enhancements to make that wedding video one to treasure for many years to come.  We are also going to dip into Photo Booth service.  We have some of the materials purchased (mostly the booth itself) now we have to get the rest of it (laptop, printer, camera, software, etc), then we'll be able to offer that service.

The plan is to provide not only videography, but also a Photo/Video Booth, and also photography as well.  I want to bring a photographer on board to join us and also hire a couple of videographers to help us out.  Tracie will be in charge of the Photo/Video Booth at the receptions while the others and myself are shooting the wedding itself.  Exciting times.  Stay tuned for more as we get things together for next year!

Also please send prayers to my wife Tracie's brother William as his health is continuing to detieriate.  As some of you know he suffers from scleroderma.  The prognosis isn't good.  He's in good spirits and we're doing our best to be there for him.

Thanks for sticking with us and we hope everyone is having a great week!
