proVanceTek has always provided video, sound, and lighting support for individual components of an event, but it's only been recently that we decided: "Hey, why aren't we providing any all-inclusive solutions for people's events? Why are we just doing one thing or the other?"

proVanceTek works with a couple local vendors with whom we have had a positive relationship for years. Our company provides the creative design concepts that tie together all the technical elements of your event - sound, video, and lighting. We will work with your entertainer, caterer, event planner, and anyone else you've hired to perfect your event - We just happen to have the experience necessary to tie the technical finishing touches into your wedding, reception, gala, etc.

Contact proVanceTek today to find out how we can help make your event truely memorable using lighting, sound, and video!

On July 3, 2008 Robert Nelson Vance, proVanceTek owner, displayed his personal video production skills in the presence of friends, family, and perfect strangers at the Columbus, Ohio Red White & Boom 4th of July fireworks celebration.

In the preceding weeks, Robert gathered video and audio clips, previously recorded voicemails, and photos that he had collected for the previous four years of his relationship with his girlfriend and was all set to music. Robert produced a ten minute video that highlighted all the memorable moments of the prior four years with Kaela and he had creatively integrated his proposal at the end of the video.

The video played on an X-Box and displayed on a LCD monitor with a Bose audio system that was all powered by a gasoline generator. Needless to say, all this commotion caused other people to wonder what was going on and complete strangers ended up gathering around and also watching the video.

Using video for special moments is becoming a common way of creating a bold, memorable moment that's remembered for a lifetime and proVanceTek has the experience to do just that!

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.

Yet another yummy website courtesy of the Drupal Content Management System - http://ifood.tv/

Drupal has been becoming the industry standard content management system and is now being used by corporate companies, universities, the government, etc.

Some high profile Drupal sites include: Sony, Sony Ericsson, Lifetime Television, Harvard Law School, MIT Media Lab, New York State Senate, President Obama, Warner Bros, Francesca Battistelli, Michael Jackson, Virgin Radio, and more.

There's soo many reasons that Drupal is awesome, but let's just name only a few: User Management, Page Titles and Meta Tags, Custom Content Types and Views, Revision Control, Taxonomy, Advanced URL Control, SEO Friendly, PHP Template, Hundreds of Community Contributed Modules, Hundreds of Community Contributed Themes, Stable and Reliable, Excellent Documentation, and Drupal the Large and Friendly Community, etc.

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.
