June 29th - WEVA Podcast

So for those of you who don't know... there are two national videographers associations in the wedding and event industry. WEVA (Wedding and Event Videographers Association) and the 4Ever Group (Don't ask me to explain that name....).

Anyways, WEVA was kind enough to ask me to do a podcast for them in their "Tech Talk" series with Al and Kathy Ritondo acting as interviewers. Unfortunately you need to be a member of WEVA to hear the podcast... :( But I can assure you it is really good and informative!! Here is WEVA's news release about my podcast and a few others.

Also, WEVA's annual convention and expo is this August in Las Vegas. I can't wait!

June 21st - Aubert Films

Some Big News going on over here! I just launched a new company, Aubert Films. Aubert Films will be an ultra high end video production company. With three camera productions, Aubert Films will concentrate on a documentary style video catering to the clients who value a product of that caliber. I've been planning this out for months now and I'm so happy that this big step is finally over! I'm so excited! Pretty cool to have my name in a company...

Check out the site and the new "Live Chat" feature I added. Let me know what you guys think and if there are any spelling mistakes... haha.

BTW - This blog will soon be transformed into the Aubert Films blog.
Oh and don't worry... Event DVP won't be going anywhere either...

June 14th - The Iron Videographer

Wow! Long time since my last post! I've just been so busy the blog sometimes gets pushed to the side. I've been to NYC 3 times in the last 2 weeks and that has really been stressful! Ahhh!

Anyways, the Iron Videographer Competition hosted by LIVA and the 4 Ever Group was this past Tuesday night. My buddy Glen Elliott and I faced off for four hours editing a highlight. There were three judges, a coordinator, a photographer, and a recent bride. In a 2-1 vote... Glen Elliott won! Congrats to my buddy.
One thing I would like to point out though is that the judge who voted for me was the BRIDE! So any bride who is ready this should know... I will produce a video you'll like!! Haha, anyways, congrats again to Glen and hopefully next year we can do a rematch.

Check out my edit below - ***Warning*** I only had 3.5 hours do to this and is not an example of my usual work! With that said... Enjoy!

May 31st - Houston, Here I Come!

I think the South has some kind of hidden attraction to me... I'm back down there this weekend! Louisiana last week, now Texas for the weekend! I swear I'll be in Arkansas or something next week! haha.

Anyways, I'll be in Texas Friday through Sunday shooting a wedding with my friends Sandy and Steve. I'm also giving them a personal stabilization training session so they can start using new techniques to improve their video productions. I have a feeling its going to be a lot of fun! I really want one of those cool cowboy hats....

May 29th - The Iron Videographers

The 4 Ever Group is running a national contest this year called "The Iron Videographer." It's based off the popular TV show, The Iron Chef. Great show! I like the Japanese version better myself, but lets not digress. The way the contest works is that 8 contestants are chosen from around the country. 4 regional competitions take place, then 2 finals, and at Video 08 the final match is held. I've been fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the 8 contestants! Thanks to everyone who voted for me!
My good friend Glen Elliott was also chosen. He's a really good editor and I think It's going to be a really tough match.

In anticipation of this event, Glen and I got together and made a fun video promoting the event.

*Disclaimer*

Please don't take anything we say seriously. We're just goofing off. This was also not a sanctioned promotion, just a fun video we did together.

May 27th - Back From Louisiana

Got back from Louisiana late Friday night. I had a great time! Thanks to my buddy Josh for taking me around and showing me the sights and wonderful food! By the way... fresh catfish should really be a must up here in the North. Anyone know of any good places?

May 20th - Wedding at a Castle

Yesterday's weddings was a blast! The couple, Laura and Anthony, were a pleasure to work with, very passionate, and in love. The photographers were also a great group. John Molar and his daughter Rebecca were real fun all day. The band was really good too! One of the best I've worked with in a while!

What was the coolest part about yesterday's wedding was that it was at a Castle! Yes... A Castle! Fonthill Castle in Doylestown, PA was built at the turn of the century and is still a sight to see! The architechture really added something to the video.

Anyways! Here's the trailer from the wedding. Feel free to share this with friends and family:
