My First Bat Mitzvah Same Day Edit!

Last Saturday we had the honor of shooting Maddie’s Bat Mitzvah. She is an awesome girl and did a fabulous job reading from the Torah during her Bat Mitzvah service! On this particular day, the service was in the morning and the reception didn’t start until later that evening so I had about a four hour break in the middle of the day – so why not try something I’d never done before? So I headed back to the studio and edited away. It was kind of a no-brainer… I had to do this because the reception was at Seven Degrees… one of our very favorite venues where they have multimedia built in EVERYWHERE so all I have to do is hand the A/V person a DVD! A videographer’s dream come true! Well I was obviously able to finish it… not as polished as I would have liked. And everyone was surprised during the reception (or should I say “Club Maddie”). I hope I have the chance to do this again one day as a lot of people came and told me that they loved it as they weren’t able to make it to the service. Kudos to Ron Levy (we seem to shoot w/him a lot at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs) which is great because he is AWESOME and helps us get great shots.
