Final Cut Pro

We recently completed the DVD for Alison Kulp and Mike Bechtel's wedding.

There ceremony was held on the terrace at Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus and their reception was held inside.

We covered the ceremony with three cameras, two manned. Per the request of the client, we were provided an audio feed from the DJ who was providing sound amplification. We also created a video that was played at the reception and created several montage videos to highlight their reception for in their final wedding DVD.

proVanceTek owner, Robert Vance, created a video while in high school to accompany a song that his choir performed at an annual choir concert.

This year, the Hilliard Davidson High School Vocal Music Department decided to create a one time only tribute performance, “A Patriotic Salute”, in honor of our Veterans.

The performance was on Sunday, March 7 at 3pm in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center and featured the Men’s Concert Choir, Women’s Concert Choir, Symphonic Chorus, Boys in Blue, Blue Ladies and Senior Choir.

A Military Honor Guard presented the Colors and the program concluded with a video tribute while the Senior Choir performed Peter Wilhousky’s “the Battle Hymn of the Republic”. This was the video that Robert Vance created some ten years ago. proVanceTek resurrected the video and retouched it, as the original was VHS and had started to deteriorate.

A dessert reception in honor of our Veterans followed immediately after the performance, catered by Abner’s Restaurant.

proVanceTek just completed a wedding website project for Chris and Joellen Carpenter. The website is a elegant, simple, static HTML design. The website is media heavy, including hundreds of photos and various videos.

We also provided video production services for the client, by 1) creating a video montage from wedding photos set to licensed music and 2) taking video from two camera sources that the client provided from the wedding ceremony and cutting together a quick wedding ceremony video. The website, including the videos, was turned around within twenty four hours of the wedding so that non-local family and friends who were unable to attend could quickly have plenty of multimedia to view; much of the website and many of the photos were live within hours of the ceremony.

Regarding the website's video player technology, the client needed an inexpensive solution to include online video within the website. proVanceTek incorporated the videos into the website using the open source version of a Flash video player called Flowplayer. The solution was fast, free, and accomplished what the client wanted. The only real caveat is that free version watermarks the video when in full screen mode.

Robert Nelson Vance, proVanceTek owner, provided video production services at the 2009 DrupalCon held in Washington DC this week at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Robert recorded all the sessions in one of the six main presentation rooms for the duration of the event; that worked out to be 20 of the roughly 100 sessions at the conference. The documentation of DrupalCon sessions will be extremely beneficial to the Dupalers who were unable to make it to the conference.

Some of the videos Robert shot were uploaded to the Internet Archive within minutes of the conclusion of the presentation, the others were available online within an hour of the presentation. One of the first videos uploaded had nearly 500 downloads within the first hour it was available online.

proVanceTek is already working on arrangements to provide a more extensive DrupalCon video production solution for the upcoming DrupalCon conference. Initial plans include proVanceTek providing complete video production services for the entire conference, multi camera live-to-tape production, and directly capturing video sent to presentation room projectors from the presenters laptops. The initial plans would essentially kick up a notch the next conference's documentation from a relatively consumer DrupalCon DC to a full-blown high definition professional video production for each session presented at the next conference.

proVanceTek LLC is tentatively planning on providing video production services at the 2009 DrupalCon held in Washington DC this March. Good videographers are needed to help document over 100 seminar sessions at the conference. We thought "hey, what better way can we give back to the Drupal community?" The documentation of these sessions will be extremely beneficial to the Dupalers who are, for one of many possible reasons, unable to attend the conference.

Drupal is a wildly popular, open source content management system that powers websites for everyone from presidential candidates to pop stars to newspapers to neighborhood community groups. It's used by thousands of individuals and organizations around the world.

DrupalCon is the official Drupal unconference that attracts the most talented open source developers and innovative web shops in the world and brings them together to share knowledge, make decisions on the future of Drupal, and get to know each other in person. It's also the premiere opportunity for Drupal users to learn what they can do with Drupal, find partners for future projects, and meet the people behind the code.

proVanceTek's tentative plans, as they are still being worked out, are to provide video taping services for one of the five rooms for all three entire days of the conference.

You may recall that we worked with the Hilliard Davidson High School Symphony Orchestra in November of 2007 on a project that was to benefit concert for the children of Uganda, which are suffering from a twenty year war that has ravaged their country.

We were once again asked to assist Hilliard Davidson High School and Invisible Children with the audio design and engineering, along with the video production for their concert in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center.

Similar to the last benefit concert, we're also planning on producing a short video that will accompany the orchestra during their closing number. The montage-like video will feature still photos from Uganda, video recorder in Uganda, and artistic live video shots of the orchestra as they perform.

The concert is free of cost, but donations will be accepted to benefit the children through the care of Invisible Children Inc.

Owner of proVanceTek, Robert Vance, has been serving as an Associate Executive Board member of East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn, a group that does fundraising for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. proVanceTek designed, hosts, and helps maintain the group's website and assists them with the design, preparation, and execution of their marketing campaigns.

A couple of recent projects that Robert has helped the group with include designing marketing materials for their booth a the Down East Holiday Show at the Greenville Convention Center, event planning for a Trick-or-Treat, so St. Jude Kids Can Eat food drive, creation and printing of marketing materials and event planning for their annual Letter Sending Campaign, marketing materials and event planning for Chili's Big Day event, and more.

Robert was invited to join the group in their visit to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN November 20-22, arranged by ALSAC. Through business connections, Robert was able to make arrangements for the group to also visit the Memphis Ronald McDonald House, which strictly houses patients and families of patients of St. Jude.

proVanceTek is proud to be hosting the East Carolina University Up 'til Dawn website and has added some new features for online registration for events, calender, photo galleries, donations, document management, and much more!

The ECU Up 'til Dawn website was a recent acquisition from proVanceTek's owner's previous venture corporation. The website was designed from one of St. Jude's sanctioned templates to incorporate the East Carolina University branding banner across the top. The St. Jude HTML template was modified and ported over to a Wordpress website installation as a Wordpress theme.

The new website is utilizing the Drupal Content Management System. The website is a large improvement over the old Wordpress based website. There are several layers of user roles that allow Up 'til Dawn Board members access to pages and files that the general public does not have the ability to access. Likewise, sponsors and volunteers have their respective roles. We've utilized out-of-the-box Drupal modules to accomplish some of the groups needs, but we've customized others as needed.
