Your Sparkling Video

We shot this a while ago, but realized we never put a highlights video up for all to see! Miriam was such a special Bat Mitzvah girl — from her thought-provoking speech to her caring Chessed (good deed) project. It was a pleasure for us to be a part of her day! And we just LOVED that HAIR!!!! We hope that Miriam continues to be successful in all that she does! We are so thankful to Miriam’s family for retaining us for a second family event. That makes us smile!!

Highlights from Miriam’s Special Day

As reported in the Spring, 2009 issue of Kallah Magazine, Sparkling Video has partnered with a truly amazing photographer. Beto has many years of international experience capturing weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, as well as dignitaries and celebrities. Beto’s work is special because he captures the essence of the subject. He loves to highlight details that other people might miss, but that make a tremendous difference in the message of an image. Like our videographers, his work is unobtrusive but thorough. He loves what he does, and we love working with him! We are looking forward to greeting the public together at the Simcha Expo in Brooklyn on Sunday, May 10th. Hope to see you there!

BETO CAPTURING AN IMAGE FOR SPARKLING VIDEO

We like to post samples of the edits we do, but in this case, the client is very private and didn’t want any family images on the Internet. We certainly respect their wishes, but couldn’t resist commenting on some of the more interesting aspects of the project. At the affair, we were faced with all kinds of crazy audio. The band was VERY LOUD, and we had to make sure that their sound came through well on our recordings. Then there were speeches, and speeches, and speeches!!! Actually, mostly inspiring, but maybe one or two just a little bit boring! (Can’t win them all). But don’t you know, that during one of the most important (and compelling) speeches, the hall’s sound system stopped working? We hadn’t miked the podium in this case since everything through the speakers was so LOUD!! But our cameras have extremely sensitive mikes on board, and they picked up the speech that wasn’t amplified. We just had to equalize it a bit, and it sounded just fine (better than the amplified portion, if you must know!)

On the video side of things, the mother and sister of the bar mitzvah boy wore beautiful, flouncy dresses. We had a great time catching close ups of those frocks in motion. There’s nothing like a video! And did we mention the dancing?? The Bar Mitzvah boy’s kindergarten teacher came to the party and wowed everyone with dynamic dancing! All the kids had a blast!! We love shooting bar and bat mitzvahs. They’re so much fun!
