My wife, Chantal, and I just had a new baby on Saturday, September 19, 2009. His name is Luca. Here's a quick video of him at 4 days old.

Exercise Video for seniors

noreply@blogger.com (NoSmallRoles) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:58:00 +0000

I was hired last fall to shoot an exercise video for seniors. Small budget, so I ended up doing the entire thing myself: direction, camera, sound, editing. Fortunately it turned out well. When I get a chance, I'll post a sample, but for now, here is some feedback sent to the trainer:

"Ton DVD est tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE. C’est relaxant et très agréable à regarder... C’est vraiment plaisant de faire ces exercices en ta compagnie, celle de ton élève, des arbres et de leurs belles couleurs automnales, du ciel bleu, de l’eau, du petit canard et jusqu’à l’écureuil. La ou les personnes qui ont filmé sont vraiment professionnelles. Tout est bien cadré, fait artistiquement et avec minutie. "

(Your DVD is simply magnificent. It's relaxing and very pleasant to watch...It's truly a pleasure to do these exercises in your company, and that of your student, with the trees and their beautiful autumn colours, the blue sky, the water, the small duck and even the squirrel. The person (or people) who filmed it are truly professional. All is well framed, artistically done and meticulous.)

Well, that made my day!

I spent the day with Stefania and Andrew in July, shooting their wedding. Everything was great, and I couldn't have been happier with the footage, and the resulting video. Check out their highlights here:

It's in H.264 format as usual, so install the latest Quicktime if you have trouble viewing.

Enjoy!

Got back from vacation at the cottage not long ago. Spent some time making a short movie with the kids:

Oh, non...

For those of you who don't speak French, here's a subtitled version:

Oh, no...

Lots of fun, hope you enjoy it.

Demos

I've been working on a few demos that might be of interest. In addition to my editing and camera work, I am an actor. Here is my acting demo in Quicktime format:

Here is my voice demo:

Here is a sample of my camera work:

As well, I ran across a 30 sec golf ad I did in school as an editing assignment. Amazingly, I still find it good. Animations done with Boris, graphics work in Photoshop:

Enjoy!

Tara and Massimo

I was honored to shoot and edit the wedding of a great couple, Tara and Massimo, last year. I received a very nice thank you from them:

Dear Vito,

Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding video. You have given us the perfect way to look back upon our cherished memories. It was truly a pleasure sharing out day with you.

Love,
Tara and Massimo

Even her mother left me a very touching phone thank you. It's feedback like that, that makes it all worthwhile!

Thanks, Tara and Massimo.

I just completed a new video of my son, Felix, and my stepson, Jeffrey. Something to scare the relatives with.

In Quicktime H.264 format:

Fun with Felix and Jeff

Felix is 20 months old here. Jeffrey is 8 years old.

Enjoy!

(No animals were harmed in the making of this video.)

I shot and edited a wedding for Rachel and Jaissy in September. Very kind and generous couple. We had a great day together, and the footage was top notch. Here's the post ceremony photo shoot in Quicktime H.264 format:

All right. So I'm still procrastinating with actually creating a proper web page for NoSmallRoles Video Productions. For now, this blog will have to do.

Not much to it for the moment...
