Thanks to Jacob A. Mandell for inviting us to record PMEA's Region III Chorus Festival! Having participated in a number of the band festivals in the past, the event brought back a lot of memories.

CDs are shipping and digital album downloads are becoming available. As a reminder, parents have until the end of the month to order their own artisanally hand-crafted CD or bundle, and after that purchases will be limited to the digital album.

While creating a hype video for the Penn State Alumni Association's playoff pregame party, one must always choose an appropriately-colored cappuccino cup. For karmic-purposes, of course.

Go State! Beat SMU!

At the end of September, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Penn State World Campus to host a hybrid event celebrating their 2024 Homecoming Court!

The event was held in the lobby of Penn State's Outreach Building, but having both in-person and virtual attendees meant we needed to fully convert the room in order to support it. Our setup included remote guest display, PowerPoint presentation, and live/remote sound reinforcement. All of these features helped create an experience that was inclusive and engaging, regardless of how one chose to participate.

Events such as these play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community among World Campus students who are geographically dispersed around the globe. It is always very rewarding helping participants come together and connect, regardless of their location; we look forward to being a part of future projects like this one.

To see how the event came together, check out this video: https://vimeo.com/1016137409/39b43423bc

You can also see our setup behind-the-scenes in the photos below.

We've been busy! Keep an eye out for updates and take a look at what we were up to this fall. First in the lineup: the Penn State Alumni Association Executive Board Meeting.

In late August, we packed up the van for its first road trip, accompanying the Alumni Council Executive Board to Penn State Fayette. During this trip, we were able to shake up the standard. Many hybrid meetings like this one will often use a basic setup dependent on webcams that attempt to automate the process. Although they work in a pinch, you almost invariably wind up with a disappointing product.

We’ve always treated Zoom meetings in the same way we would a high-profile live event, with direct-source audio, multi-camera switching, integrated presentations, and live IMAG of remote participants. The end result is a meeting that is far more polished, streamlined, and engaging for those in the room and joining remotely.

As always, it was a pleasure to work with the Penn State Alumni Association. Looking forward to seeing where we're headed next!

Considering last week we were streaming a pep rally, this Sunday just doesn’t compare. The energy at Be a Part from the Start is truly unmatched. Thank you to the Penn State Alumni Association/the Penn State Lion Ambassadors for having us!

Hope everyone watching remembers the cheers we learned that night, especially since yesterday kicked off Penn State football season! 🏈 🔵⚪️

Earlier this month, CW Studios had the pleasure of supporting the 2024 Alumni Leadership Connections (ALC) Conference hosted by the Penn State Alumni Association. The ALC Conference provides Alumni Association volunteers from across the country the opportunity to learn more about their role as leaders, discuss volunteer best practices, and hear key insight from experts.

A multi-day event with programming across the University Park campus, the ALC Conference gave us a chance to do it all. We…

-Filmed a variety of unique sessions across a number of different venues
-Livestreamed for those who couldn't be there in person
-Provided IMAG (image magnification) so, even in larger spaces, participants could have the best experience
-Captured the energy and feel of the event through B-roll
-Put all of those elements together in post-production after the event's conclusion

…allowing us to be there every step of the way!

If you want to catch a glimpse of this amazing weekend and the role we played in it, check out the video below:

Little did I know that mere weeks after purchasing a green screen for testing in the new studio space would I get to use it in a project! Thanks to Graduate State College for the room and refreshments and to WildBear Entertainment for entrusting me with this interview. Looking forward to seeing the results in their future series.

Always grateful to be able to capture this meaningful event.

I had an absolute blast getting to film Singing Onstage Studios's recent productions of Into the Woods Jr. and Matilda Jr. at The State Theatre. The joy and energy these kids brought to the stage was amazing, and it was great to see such a supportive audience in attendance.

Parents, expect communications soon from the studio about purchasing your copy!
