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.

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!

A huge thank you to Penn State Schreyer Honors College for inviting me to capture the Dilemmas of Democracy event at The State Theatre last night. Really well attended, both in person and online, and a great start to a very busy week ahead!

Ready for takeoff! Let us know if your next project requires storytelling from a different perspective, as long as it's not over 400ft AGL 😄

I was going to post these in the calm before the storm, but was too busy, and now the storm has started. See you all when we emerge on Monday morning, and congratulations to all Penn State graduates!

The forest has been cleared to make way for a cleaner backdrop to film a set of interviews featuring the amazing staff of the Jana Marie Foundation. These recordings, combined with event footage to be gathered in the next few months, will be used for a series of videos highlighting the incredible impact this organization has made in our community for over a decade.

It was so much fun to get creative and put together this short studio session promoting Dan Hansel's app, TrophyTracks. Lucky to have Hope act as our in-house set designer, using materials from HomeGoods, Michael's, and the random wooded area outside the building. All in all I think it turned out pretty well!

Well, it was ten years in the making, but CW Studios finally has...a studio! This small but mighty space is ready for your next informational/corporate/product shoot, and my future rambling YouTube videos.
