Banquet-Contest Video – Video One member Suzanne Savlov (shown in photo above explaining her editing project to the group at March 16 meeting) is nearing completion on the editing of an hour-long video about our February 24 “Academy” Awards Banquet. Winners of the club’s Annual Short Video Contest were selected by club members from 10 finalist entry videos which were screened at the event.
The 10 entries will be included in Suzanne’s video with host commentary by Video One member Bill Hemberger (shown below being made up for the shoot by Dr Jeanne Mayer) and guest host Tracy Stewart, a Village resident. Bill and Tracy also interviewed first and second-place winners Lucy Parker and John Kelley (shown below, fourth photo) during a special Video One shoot on March 21.
Suzanne’s video is expected to air on Village Television during May and will be posted on the club YouTube channel. Phil Doran directed the March 21 shoot. Paul Chiang is shown below running the switcher for the shoot, while new member Fred Harshbarger handles audio. Final photo shows hosts Bill and Tracy on set. Green screen was used to add a “news desk” background for the interviews.
