Ed here. We at id Unleashed were extremely saddened yesterday by news of the passing of Warren Schaefer. A longtime actor and director on Long Island, as well as broadcast television professional, I first met and shared a stage with Warren in 1996. He was kind, gracious, had a gorgeous baritone voice, and was an outstanding storyteller. He was also the “other” professional videographer that gave attention to Long Island’s performing arts, and he captured more than a generation’s-worth of our community’s talent. When Warren decided to retire from video game, he handed me a number of his long-term accounts to ensure they continued to be well taken care of. Besides accounts, Warren provided me (and id Unleashed) with resources, equipment, mentoring, and best of all, friendship. A visit to Warren’s North Massapequa home was always like story time for me as I took in reminiscences from his career in television, especially on interviews and documentaries he worked on about the golden years of New York baseball, and interactions with the likes of Yogi Berra, Duke Snider, and Wh**ey Ford.

Several months ago, I decided the control room of our under-construction new studio would be named for Warren, and I looked forward to inviting him to the opening of the new space and pointing out the plaque with his name on it above the door. I’m sorry I won’t get that moment with him.

id Unleashed extends our condolences to Barbara, and to all the family and friends mourning Warren’s loss today. And thank you, Warren for being a mentor, colleague, and friend. Rest in Peace.

Due to the high number of clients that kindly request, “May I sit with you during the editing process?”, we are happy to introduce our new “Backseat Editor Program”! Now you too can enter the id Unleashed editing suites to sit with our highly-trained staff and tell them EXACTLY what you want from your project in the moment it’s being created! No need to ever trust a professional artist again when you can be right there to tell them how to do their job! Besides being a part of the post-production process, you’ll get to see the warm smile on your editor’s face as they absorb and appreciate your input and guidance!

Premiering a new edition of ACT: ART CRAFT TRUTH today! Host Russ Camarda sits down today with singer/songwriter John Hampson.

Each New Year's Eve, as we turn off the studio lights for the last time in the calendar year, I like to review what we as a company have done and where we're going. Obviously, 2020 wasn't the year any of us expected or hoped for, and rather than dwelling in the morose of the incalculable losses felt by us all, I will spend this wrap-up with a positive look forward and by turning off the lights in our NEW studio - although mostly framed out in aluminum studs at the moment, we look forward to the completion of construction and showing you all the awesome things we plan to do there in the years to come, much of which is focused around capturing the creativity and future memories of many of you. Thanks for coming along with us on this ride. Happy New Year to you all. More soon...

Wonderful time shooting some wonderful singers today! Great way to close out a year's productions.

And a personal favorite of mine, the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. Performed here in this 2017 holiday concert by the Bel Canto Chorale, as covered by id Unleashed. Merry Christmas, everyone!

12/25/2020

Of course it's hard to do Christmas Eve without at least one great version of "White Christmas." One from the 2018 archives.

From their 2014 "Holiday with Friends" concert, the Long Island Gay Men's Chorus performs a fun, irreverent "Nutcracker Jingle." This was our first year covering the guys, and we look forward to better times and breaking the cameras out again when they're back onstage.
