Checking In...

Two more wedding dates added last week! Two graduation shoots this week at Christian Chapel Academy here in Columbia, MO!

May at Digital HQ...

May is now upon us, and it is officially the busiest month in the history of Digital HQ! On tap for this month: 2 sorority philanthropy videos, 2 weddings, 1 school concert, 2 school graduations, 1 real estate video, 1 Chamber of Commerce community video, and 1 rock show at Mojo's. If you see a guy walking around town with a video camera this month, chances are it's probably me...

'Tis The Season

Christmas season is officially upon us, and I filmed my first Christmas program of the year last Friday night. The program was put on by the kids of Precious Hearts Learning Center from here in Columbia, and they did a super job! (The Grinch even made a surprise appearance...)

Next week, the Christmas fun continues at Christian Chapel Academy, also here in Columbia. This will be my fourth year producing videos for the school, and they always put on a great program!

Stay tuned...

Delta Sigma Phi Dedication

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of capturing some great events at the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity house on the MU campus. These guys have put a ton of work into their new house and invited alumni, family, and friends this weekend for a house dedication. The place looks amazing!



Following the house tours and dedication, we headed over to the Alumni Center for the fraternity's luncheon and awards ceremony. A big thanks to the gentleman of Delta Sigma Phi for letting me capture their day. It was great seeing the new house, and it's always good to visit the University of Missouri campus, i.e. my old stomping grounds...

Cola-Con Video Shoot

Busy week last week here at Digital Headquarters. I booked two weddings and traveled to Columbia, South Carolina over Labor Day weekend for a really cool event called Cola-Con. It was a hip-hop and comics festival that I filmed as part of a documentary project that is now officially in the works. Great crowd, great panels, and a DJ set by Talib Kweli. Definitely a cool event to be a part of...

Graduation 2011

We just finished two graduation shoots this past week here in Columbia, MO. Congratulations to all the kids from Humpty Dumpty Preschool and Christian Chapel Academy!

Latest Wedding Stills

Wanted to do a quick check in with the blog and highlight some of my latest wedding stills pulled from the wedding video I'm currently editing. It's been a busy week here, with a great spring concert last week at Christian Chapel Academy and a dinner show at Jack's Gourmet Restaurant over the weekend. Projects on the horizon....Stay tuned!

Jack Daniels Studio No. 7 Project

Last November, I interviewed and shot a video with the band Manchester Orchestra at the Blue Note here in Columbia, MO. This project was in conjunction with The Hive, a Toronto, Canada based production company. Anyway, my video is now up and streaming on the Jack Daniels Studio No. 7 website, www.jdstudiono7.com. Check it out; there's a lot of cool artists interviewed on the page. Plus, the editing crew at The Hive did a fabulous job assembling all of the footage. If you prefer, you can also find these videos on the Jack Daniels Facebook Page. This was a very cool project to be a part of, and one we were very excited about. Signing off for now....Testing my new camera later in the week!

Music Video Weekend

Busy event video weekend here at Digital Headquarters, and the theme of the weekend is music. I had the pleasure of shooting a Caleb Rowden concert last evening at Christian Chapel Auditorium here in Columbia, MO. Caleb is a very accomplished singer/songwriter and put on a great show last night. Very cool to be a part of. Here's a link if you want to find out more about Caleb and his music.



Tomorrow, I've got a shoot lined out at the Blue Note, Columbia's premiere live music venue. I'm working in conjunction with a production company out of Toronto, Ontario called The Hive. We are interviewing and covering an exclusive concert, so needless to say, this is another project I'm very happy to be a part of. Stay tuned to the blog for more details!

Listen Up!

Headed to Kahoka, MO last month to shoot a music festival called Listen Up. If you're not familiar with Kahoka, it's the farthest northeastern point you can go to in Missouri, and it also happens to be my hometown. Anyway, the music was great, and it was a really diverse group of bands. Plus, I got to do some really cool video coverage with a combination of HD, SD, and Super 8 cameras. Yes, I mean Super 8, as in the home movie format introduced in 1965. Should make for an interesting concert film....

Above is a shot of Derek and I during a filming break. We represented about 1/3 of the film crew, so an additional shout-out goes to Cody, Dave, Chris, and Buck for helping me document the event. The concert film is next on my editing docket, so stay tuned for some video highlights from the night...

Downtown Video Shoot

Last weekend, I produced a video for Missouri United Methodist Church here in Columbia. It's such a beautiful church, and their stained glass is magnificent! Really worth checking out. Anyway, Derek and I had a chance to snap a shot when we finished packing up our gear. (Can't beat 9th Street for a backdrop...) Wedding shoot next weekend, so stay tuned. Thanks for visiting!

Pomp, Circumstance, and Digital HQ...

Busy week here at Digital Headquarters. I had two graduation shoots at Christian Chapel Academy here in Columbia MO, so now I'm settling down in the editing suite. They were both very nice ceremonies, and I believe congratulations are in order for the recent grads. Here's a couple stills from the two shoots.

Spring Concert Video Shoot

Headed to Christian Chapel Academy here in Columbia last week for their spring concert. The kids put on a great show! Started editing tonight; more news to come soon!

Listen Up!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've been involved in a small music festival in NE Missouri called Listen Up for several years now. A few weeks ago was the 11th annual show so I packed up my camera and my guitar and headed up. Haven't started editing any of the video footage from this year's show yet, but thought I would post a couple pics from the 2007 show. These particular shots were taken by English Teacher/Amateur Photographer Greg Wirsig, and I thought they captured the essense of the show quite well. If interested, head on over to the documentary portion of the Digital HQ website at http://www.digitalvideohq.com/ and check out a clip from my 2005 documentary on the festival, Three Chords Make A Song. Keep posted with the blog, I'll be posting new wedding stills from this weekend's wedding shoot soon...

Graduation Time.

Well, that time of year is upon us again....the time of year that involves tears, tassels, and of course, hearing the Green Day song "Time of Your Life" at least 4 times. Of course, I'm talking about graduation, the end of one chapter and the start of another. Definitely a momentous day in the life of a student, so we were happy to capture two ceremonies this month. (Should make for some great viewing in a couple decades!...) Anyway, here's a pic of my main second shooter helping me prepare for our graduation shoot at Christian Chapel Academy here in Columbia. Enjoy!

Event video update.

Just got back from shooting a concert put on by the kids of Christian Chapel Academy. Tonight was their spring concert, and they had some really great songs prepared. Also, if you've never seen CCA's auditorium, it's quite impressive! Top of the line sound, light, and staging. Assisting me tonight was my good friend and fellow videographer, Peter Riney. Anyway, that's the latest Digital HQ update, thanks for visiting!
