Cortaca 2022 at Yankee Stadium: The Yankee’s travel to Ithaca, N.Y. to announce that Ithaca College and SUNY Cortland will play the 2022 Cortaca game at Yankee Stadium. The annual Cortaca Jug is an event that students and alumni of Ithaca College & SUNY Cortland look forward to every year. While in most seasons the game is held on one of the other’s home turf, it has most recently taken place at MetLife Stadium. Now, the stage has grown yet again, as the 2022 game will be held at Yankee Stadium! Marc Hudak, an alumni of Ithaca College, came to the team at DVideo Productions, requesting assistance in filming and editing the announcement of this upcoming game. A media day was held at Ithaca College, where Don McPherson - a legend in Syracuse football - and select members of the New York Yankees helped to start spreading the news. The day consisted of a brunch amongst IC administrators, a press conference where the news was made openly public, and a luncheon at SUNY Cortland. The team helped to film all three of these key events, as well as B-Roll of the campuses and their football fields. Stock footage was obtained from IC consisting of aerials of the campus. In addition, McPherson was filmed interviewing administrators and football coaches, asking them about the impact of this announcement to their schools. It was clear from the footage we obtained that this was a major milestone in the storied rivalry. After the shooting was completed, the editing team promptly went to work and created a two-minute Sizzle Reel of the event. Using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects harmoniously, the end result was a tight edit with special effects, color correction, audio editing, and, most importantly, a concise story. Marc and the team at IC were thrilled with the final product, and the video has now been used to make this special announcement known nationwide. It was a pleasure to work with everybody involved, and we look forward to collaborating with them again soon! #Cortaca #Cortaca2022 #CortacaJug #YankeeStadium #Football #CollegeFootball #DivisionThree #NCAA #DonMcPherson #MarkHoltzman #JohnMosley #MattFox #NewYorkYankees #IthacaCollege #SUNYCortland #Adobe #PremierePro #AfterEffects #VideoEditing #Video #Editing #PostProduction #DVideoProductions

Our friends at Michel Design Works approached us with a new idea for a video, this time with the consumer in mind. While our other work with them had been more focused on the business side, this was something new and different. Mary and Lexie from Michel requested that we put together a commercial that could be used for the masses, and shared throughout on social media. And the creative team at DVideo jumped on the opportunity! In order to make this happen, a house was needed as a space for shooting the video. Moreover, a sizable kitchen and bathroom were especially important in making their products shine. Our producers were able to rent out a house in Armonk that had the adequate space and interior design to make the products pop. On the day of the shoot, our professional cinematographer used a Sony FX6 to capture beautiful imagery, with their foamers, sanitizers, and other products of theirs front-and-center. With the FX6’s color science and advanced technology, the footage looked spectacular and made the post-production process seamless. Utilizing Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects, the edit came together swiftly and professionally. DaVinci Resolve was also used as a color correcting source, giving that extra pop to the imagery that already looked tremendous. All told, a concise, 20-second edit was made, highlighting the products being sold and the people using them. The team at Michel Design Works were thrilled with the final product! It was then taken internally to spread to the masses on social media. Working with Mary and Lexie was an absolute pleasure! They were very collaborative and truly easy to work with. Their vision was clear, and the team at DVideo Productions helped bring it to life. With multiple more projects in the pipeline, we love working with repeat-client Michel Design Works! #MichelDesignWorks #Foamers #Sanitizers #Peony #Lavender #Ocean #HoneyAlmond #Katonah #NewYork #Westchester #Adobe #PremierePro #AfterEffects #DaVinciResolve #VideoEditing #Video #Editing #PostProduction #DVideoProductions

Bob and Debbie from Michel Designs approached us again with the idea of showcasing their upcoming fall and holiday collections to vendors they work with. These collections are typically displayed at a trade show, but making a video about them gives consumers another look. They wanted the video to be both informative and fun, displaying their unique personalities and small-business, interpersonal values to their displays. It was a challenge that our team was ready to take on! The shoot involved a two-person camera crew, one of our producers, and the stars of the show! It was shot on Sony camera equipment, with an emphasis on making the colors of the collection pop. The collections were individually shot in the order that Bob and Debbie had requested, to be later reordered in post. Most of the collections were shot with two takes, giving the editing team options later on in the process. The post production process was largely completed in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects - one being used for the edit itself, the other for additional effects, particularly with text. Light color grading was applied via Davinci Resolve. The software itself was used to apply the grading, and utilizing an exported .cube file, the look was reapplied in Premiere. Slight adjustments were made as needed in order for all shots to match. Once completed, all the work in production and post culminated into a 23-minute video for Michel’s vendors. It was great fun working with these two once again! They had a vision on how they wanted to display their products, and we helped make that vision a reality for them. They enjoyed the filming process, and they were easy to work with. We look forward to future projects with Michel Design Works down the line! #MichelDesignWorks #tradeshow #collections #fragrances #fall #winter #2021 #videoediting #remotevideoediting #video #editing #postproduction #dvideoproductions

Have a Cool Summer from Dvideo 2021

Tiegerman Middle School is a Long Island-based school that’s approved by New York state to serve students with a variety of developmental disabilities. Based in Glen Cove, NY, the school is set apart by its approach to language and learning, where the faculty believe that language is the foundation for all learning. Jame Krauter, the Director of Fund Development, approached the DVideo team with the idea of creating a video to help them promote what they’re all about, and we jumped at the opportunity! The project consisted of footage provided to us by the school. With a plethora of options to choose from, the post-production team had plenty to work with. Additionally, a voiceover was provided by Kristin Lyons, the school principal, helping to describe what the school is all about and what they uniquely provide. The material was compiled in Adobe Premiere Pro, and the audio was edited in Adobe Audition for sweetening. We had great fun working with Jame and her team! It was for a great cause and we admire everything they stand for. We hope to work with the school again soon! #TiegermanSchool #Tiegerman #MiddleSchool #Adobe #PremierePro #Audition #AfterEffects #LongIsland #GlenCove #NewYork #VideoEditing #Video #Editing #PostProduction #DVideoProductions

The YMCA is a well-known brand nationwide. They have helped local communities across the country for decades, mentoring youth and helping them grow into their full potential. The same is true for the Y in White Plains, where the team at DVideo Productions helped orate the history of the building, soon to be demolished. Rebekah from the Southern Land Company in New York City approached us with the initial idea. Her company wanted to create a mini-documentary video that went through the building’s origins starting all the way back in the late 1800s. Through the site’s ups and downs, there was a fascinating story to tell, and the creative team jumped at the opportunity! Rebekah and her colleagues from Southern Land Company assisted in gathering the assets for us, which consisted of a myriad of archival pictures from past to present. These pictures were the heartbeat of the final video, as they really helped to visualize the building’s story. A voiceover was provided based on a script, and together with the pictures, it rounded the video into form. The editing team primarily used Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro to enhance the cut, and used inspiration from modern documentary films to create a cohesive and current edit. Adobe Audition was also utilized in order to sweeten the voiceover and audio in general. The final product was displayed in a socially-distant walkthrough by the team at Southern Land Company, allowing plenty of onlookers to see the building’s rich history and its association with the Y. They were thrilled with the final product! It was a pleasure working with them and putting together a historical mini-documentary for an area so rich in history. #YMCA #TheY #WhitePlains #NewYork #SouthernLandCompany #PremierePro #AfterEffects #Audition #Documentary #HistoricalVideo #VideoEditing #RemoteVideoEditing #Video #Editing #PostProduction #DVideoProductions

Dr. Helaine Smith from Pound Ridge Cosmetic Dentistry is one of the most respected doctors in her field, and she is particularly renowned in Westchester County, NY and the surrounding area. We had the pleasure of working with her on a previous project 2 years ago, and she approached us again to make two new videos geared towards social media. One video is focused on safety practices in the era of COVID, and the other specifies her work with veneers. The creative team at DVideo Productions was eager to jump in! Following pre-production and internal collaboration, a small camera crew was sent over to film in Dr Smith’s office in Pound Ridge, NY. With everybody masked up and socially distant per the CDC’s guidelines, the shoot was completed succinctly and successfully. The main camera of use was a Panasonic UX90, with additional B-Roll shot using a gimbal. With a plethora of shots from many different angles, the remote post-production team was given plenty to work with. The editing process primarily consisted of Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. Additionally, DaVinci Resolve was used to color grade the footage, and LUTs from the software were transferred over to Premiere Pro into the main edits. It was important to have two distinctive and concise edits for Dr. Smith to work with, and the end result was clean and professional. She was thrilled with the final product! The COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges for many small businesses, and customers as a result have hesitancies to buy from certain industries. But in making these videos that detail how companies have evolved with the times, clients can be assured of their safety as we head into the backend of this global event. It was great fun working with Dr. Smith once again, and we look forward to working with her in the future! #PoundRidgeCosmeticDentistry #PoundRidge #NewYork #WestchesterCounty #Veneers #COVID #COVIDSafety #Adobe #DaVinciResolve #PremierePro #AfterEffects #VideoEditing #Video #Editing #PostProduction #RemoteVideoEditing #DVideoProductions #DVideo
