David’s Bar Mitzvah 2 — with Avraham Fried!!!

We just completed our shoot in

Crown

Heightswith world-renowned singing star Avraham Fried and soon-to-be-Bar Mitzvah boy, Dovid. Dovid’s family wrote a hilarious script. Our job was Sparkling cinematography. In just a few takes, we captured a scene that will be a powerful ending to the unbelievable “life story” video we’ve been working on.

The video is an amazing tapestry of video clips (over 100) and several hundred still images, woven together to tell Dovid’s story. His family chose Beethoven’s Fifth Symphyony for background, which adds power and excitement to the photo/video essay.

We find that choice of music is crucial to the success of a video project. Music sets the tone for the piece. We create our montages to “dance” along to the beat and melody of the accompanying music, which gives them a dynamic look.

We look forward to showing this piece at Dovid’s Bar Mitzvah – we have a magnificent 10 foot screen that will command the room!

You can watch an abridged version of Dovid’s adventure with Avraham Fried here:

David’s Bar Mitzvah

We’re psyched.  An up-coming bar mitzvah hired us to create a “story of my life” video about their son David.  This one includes footage of the then three-year-old bar-mitzvah boy performing on stage with Avraham Fried.  It turns out that brave little David ran up on stage during a concert and two audience members captured the scene on video.  It was our job to synchronize the home-videos, and color-correct them as much as possible.  No one can believe that this wasn’t staged – but it wasn’t!!

 

Now, David’s family has the particular good fortune to actually KNOW Avraham Fried, so the perfomer agreed do a follow-up shoot with David sometime soon.  We’ll keep you posted!
