The team at WIX PIX produced the best videos in Central PA for decades. Here is a demo tape we put together in 2002, concentrating on great camera work & lighting & location scouting and editing & casting +++. Please enjoy this 1:40 look back. It's been FUN!
I see the summer season is about over at Idlewild Park, which reminds me of a TV spot we did for them 19 years ago! I wrote, sang and directed this shoot with a cast of about 40 and shot over three days. It won second place among all international amusement park commercials! Not bad for little 'ol Vinco. Enjoy. Dale
This is a spot we did almost 15 years ago. I love this commercial because of the lighting, the camerawork, the staged action in each scene and the script. Now this is how a TV spot ought to look!
It's been almost 40 years since we produced these two Galliker's Dairy spots with Lou on camera. I thought you'd enjoy this look back ... Dale
Adding one more look out my front window. So much can change in just six weeks!
The recent passing of Jerry Long reminded me that WIX PIX, working with Ed Kane, produced the TV ads that helped turn DA Long into Judge Long. From 38 years ago, here are pieces of a few of those commercials.
Conemaugh Connection #4 aired in December, 2000. This is a beautiful program, one in which I take great pride. The wonderfully talented team at WIX PIX produced videos that were network quality 30+ years ago ... videos that no one else could have produced in this region then ... or even now. And, of course, Amy was at her finest in this Christmas setting, shot at her house. Please enjoy ConCon 4 and share with others.
Here is a look at the gas line progress as of this afternoon. D
This is a real treat. Please share! 23 years ago, Amy Bradley and I, along with the amazingly talented team at WIX PIX, produced a network-quality half-hour broadcast program called The Conemaugh Connection. The concept Pat Kane had was a program that focused on the people who were helped by the exceptional folks in The Conemaugh Health System ... a show about real people, about our neighbors. This program is the very first of what turned out to be 25 award winning episodes. Please step back to March, 2000, and enjoy Conemaugh Connection One!
Here is the full 29-minute Conemaugh Connection which aired 23 years ago. Yours truly and the talented team at WIX PIX produced this show and 24 more like it with Amy Bradly, Pat Kane and the fine folks at Conemaugh. (We also produced 23 similar braodcast programs for the Wellmont Health System in Kingsport TN, also with Pat Kane!) Come, step back to May, 2000 and enjoy our show.
WIX PIX produced 25 half-hour broadcast programs under the title of The Conemaugh Connection over 20 years ago. The exceptional Amy Bradley was the host. I am archiving all of those shows to digital format now, and just came across a show we did in June of 2000. This was the second show in that series. Here is the 30-second promo we produced to advertise the program. If you'd like to see the full show, let me know & I'll post it too. Here from 23 years ago is The Conemaugh Connection #2.
Do you remember what the Fairview Power Plant in Vinco looked like in July 2017? Come with me, back 6 years, as we fly over the newly excavated site.
Here's a quick video I put together to promote the famous Jackson Township Heritage Festival, July 7-8-9. You're always welcome in Vinco, USA! Hope to see you there.
I walked around Idlewild Park on Sunday. It reminded me of the TV spot WIX PIX did some years ago when Paul Bunyan's Loggin' Toboggan first opened. This was the biggest TV spot we ever did - big crew, cast of about 40, lots of tree-props and a jingle I wrote & sang. What fun. Enjoy "I'm a Lumberjack."
I went to the Westmont Memorial Day parade ... was a bit disappointed. I had heard that many kids decorate their bikes for the trip down Luzerne Street but only about 2 dozen kids participated. So I shot a few pix anyway and recorded a piece of the Westmont HS band marching by. Thanks kids! Remember those who gave their all for the USA!
It was a great Saturday afternoon! JAZZ IN YOUR FACE was playing at the Jazz and Blues festival in Indiana. What a sound!! Here's a less-than-perfect iPhone recording of a piece of a song called "Lester Leaps In" along with a few photos of the event. See these guys whenever you can!
I see the Taunia Oechslin Girls Night Out is this Tuesday. I had the honor of writing two scripts then producing the spots with Taunia in the WIX PIX studio in 2007. What an amazing person! Here are those two ads.
Over the years, WIX PIX produced some truly exceptional video. Twenty years ago we put a 100-second demo tape together to show clips that illustrated the quality of our work ... lighting-directing-scene selection-working with talent-shooting-editing. Allow me to brag a bit, but I don't see anything on air today that comes close to this quality. Enjoy.
