The Magic of Cinema

This clip was dug out of my Mini DV vaults recently, and I couldn't resist posting it. It goes all the way back to the very early days of my video production education....circa about 2003. (I believe it was shot when I was a junior here at MU in the Communications Department). Anyway, the assignment was simple: shoot 30 seconds of anything, completely unedited. Still undecided on what to shoot, I was killing time at the local record store and stumbled upon this gem in the one dollar bin. Obviously I knew I had to have it, so one dollar later, I was the proud owner. In a flash of inspiration, I rushed back to my apartment, and my guerrilla video was complete. The planets aligned just right and this magical piece of cinema was created. Move over, Godard....there's a new kid in town! Ladies and gentleman, I give you: The Real Vincent Vega...




Well, that was enlightening wasn't it? To finish the story, the professor was not nearly as pleased with the video as I was. I think I ended up with a B...but the memories more than made up for the lower grade. Anyway, thought everyone might get a laugh out of the short. Stay tuned to the blog for some more serious video updates soon. I've got some recently finished wedding videos and some new event video projects on the horizon, so good things are happening at Digital Headquarters! Until next time...

New Wedding Promo!

Here's the latest Digital HQ Wedding promo. As some of you may notice, it's very similar to an earlier promo that I had on the site, but I incorporated some of my more recent wedding footage from this summer into it. Thought it turned out nicely; let me know what you think.

Salisbury, MO Wedding Shoot

I had a bit of down time last weekend between the ceremony and reception, so I grabbed a couple shots of the beautiful stained glass from the church in Salisbury. It was a good day all around....perfect weather, really nice ceremony, and a great party at the reception. Speaking of great parties....did want to give a shout-out to DJ Jeff Westenkuehler. Jeff's Rhythm Express is a great group of professional DJ's; be sure and check them out at http://www.rhythmexpressdj.com/ for your next event. They did a fabulous job on Saturday, as always. And to the newlyweds Adam & Justine....Congrats and thanks for letting me spend the day with you!

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...

Hitting The Trail...

I had this morning off and the weather was just perfect, so I pulled myself away from the computer and headed out with my two-year old son to Bear Creek Trail in north Columbia. We made it about 2 miles, but got hung up at a bridge crossing over the creek. I guess there comes a time in every boy's life when he realizes that there's nothing more fun than throwing rocks off of a bridge into water, but I did manage to pull him away long enough to take a quick shot.

Look for a video update soon....A couple weeks ago, I packed up the camera and the guitar and headed up to a small music festival in Kahoka, MO. Got some pretty good footage of the event, so I'll post a few stills in the near future. Until then....
