This outstanding performing arts program has been thrilling sold out crowds for 11years.

Unfortunately, these DVDs are available only to the family of the cast, so if you want to see how great this group is, you need to get tickets to their next performance - it is SO worth it!

Joanne asked us to come to Yuba City to capture a 'small get-together' for her Mom's birthday. It turns out there were over 250 people in attendance and her Mom was turning 90! It was such a pleasure to meet the whole family, capture 5 generation photos and video, and see birthday girl Gwen sing songs and play the harmonica. What an awesome lady! She still goes out and tends to her garden, growing corn, tomatoes and walnuts.

We also produced a special PAL version of this DVD for her German relatives. Es war ganz toll!

Client: Various news agencies

Project: Electronic News Gathering (ENG), On-Location event recording

With our remote studio location, we are occasionally able to get a different perspective on breaking news stories. Over the past few months, the warm weather here in the Sacramento area has caused quite a few fires to break out. We like to capture footage from these breaking stories and send them to our friends at local stations News10 and KCRA 3. With one of the larger fires, News10 even surprised us with a call on our cell phone where they immediately connected us to their live newscast for an interview.

We put together some highlights of footage used on TV in a brief montage.

The group is a brass quintet that calls themselves 'The Essence of Brass' under the masterful direction of Julian C. Dixon. We were hired to shoot a few scenes of Loren accompanying the ensemble, but once we heard how great they sounded we just kept the camera rolling. Lucky for us, since we were inundated with DVD orders at the end of their performance!

The end product was a great sounding, live performance DVD with 6 songs. It even includes a song written and arranged by Loren Richmond for the group. Most of the performers left for a tour of Europe the following week. Expect to hear great music from them for many years to come.

Having a 90th birthday is pretty amazing, but a company having a 90th anniversary is almost unheard of! We had the opportunity to capture Radiological Associates 90th Anniversary Employee Meeting and create a promotional piece about the event and the company. It was an eye-opening experience. RAS treats their employees like gold, and as a result, their employees stick around for a very long time. We met folks that had been with RAS for over 20+ years. It is no wonder that RAS is one of the best places to work in the Sacramento Area.
