Editing & Post-Production

Examples of Editing Work and Presentation Styles
Over the past few years we have worked with many different styles of video presentation.
Some presentations were done using only CGI visual graphics. The art of Imagineering is having fun and being creative.

	Trailer for Book, "Bleak Woods": The residents of the sleepy little Virginia town of Apple Grove get more than they bargained for when a flamboyant TV psychic, Collin Shane, pays them a visit to investigate their haunted Civil War battlefield for his reality program. Old fears from the past are rekindled by a series of strange events that occur just outside of town at the site of the original battle, in a dark and foreboding place aptly named Bleak Woods. These woods are said to be haunted by a variety of supernatural beings; phantom soldiers eternally fighting their last battle, a mysterious woman in white searching for her lost husband, and a soul stealing demon the locals call Old Scratch. Are these strange stories the product of over active imaginations, or is there something old and evil that still haunts these woods one hundred and fifty years after the Civil War?
	Trailer for Book - "Lost Gold of the Shenandoah": In the Autumn of 1864, a Confederate payroll train out of Richmond, Virginia, is attacked and plundered by a Union raiding party near Waynesboro, Virginia. The successful band of raiders, with their booty of strongboxes full of gold coins, headed north toward the Union lines near Winchester, Virginia. They never made it back. One hundred forty-six years later, this tale of the lost gold is regarded only as legend, except in the small Shenandoah Valley town of Apple Grove. The descendants of the town’s founding families, the Sons and Daughters of the Stars and Bars, have never stopped looking for the gold. But the trail of clues to its whereabouts has long grown cold, until the summer of 2010.
	"Endings": This was not a book trailer, but a concept pitch for a TV show proposal for a writer in Massachusetts.
	"Space Romp": This is a fantasy space voyage, set to a piece of royalty free library music. All the animation and stills were selected from the public domain library at the European Space Agency's Hubble website. The Foley (sound effects) were from various sources. This video demonstrates our post-production capabilities to seamlessly weave music, video and sound components into a finished media product.
	"Dance of the Dolls": A fantasy video demonstrating the film making techniques of green screen compositing of a live performer with stop motion and hand animated puppets. Storyline: A trio of dolls and a stuffed bear star in this fantasy Arabian belly dancing musical adventure, that includes an encounter with a mummy and dancing on a flying carpet.
