YES Prep - Video & Photography Mentors -Fall 2010 Lunch & Learn Day

Two weeks ago, The YES Prep, Y Blazers Studios Mentor Board got an opportunity to eat lunch with the bright young students of YES Prep North Central Campus.










Each member of The Mentor Board took 5 minutes to tell the YES Prep students a bit about their business and offer information about internships offered. The students then split up in groups of 3 students to 1 Mentor.  The Mentors spent time answering questions from the students about their line of work and any internships offered.

The Y Blazers Studios Mentor Board is composed of  6-10 companies in the field of Video Production and Photography in Houston.  Attending the November lunch were:

Allison Carlino, Photographer, Owner - Carlinos Photography
Ken Kosub, Producer, partner - XL Films
Kevin Fitzgerald, Motion Graphics Specialist - Schlumberger
Jack Perry, Event Filmmaker, Video Producer, Photographer, Co-Owner - Perry Video & Photography

Not present:
Trevor Brock, Trial Support Multimedia Specialist - Legal Media (out of town on business)
Mike Alderfer, Motion Graphics Specialist - Title Safe (daughter got sick)
Scott Szabo, Composer - Szabo Sounds and Music (out of town on business)

The mission of The YES Prep, Y Blazers Studios Mentor Board is to connect video production, photography, and other multimedia professionals to high school students.  We encourage working internships, strengthen professional relationships, and educate to improve technical skills.

Throughout the year we will hold:
1) Mentor lunches
2) Learning events (next event likely will be an After Effects class taught by Kevin Fitzgerald or Mike Alderfer)
3) Internships

Thank you to Craig Brandenburg for helping us organize and connect with the students.  Also, thank you to Mark Dibella, Director (principal) at YES Prep North Central for facilitating these meetings.

SBMSA 5/6 Boys Soccer 2010

Best part of owning a small family business is having the freedom to be very involved with my kid's sports.  For the 2010 Soccer Season, I was the coach of Jackson's team The Frostwood Tigers as well as The Commissioner for The 5/6 Boys Soccer League.  I really enjoyed working with the parents, coaches, and kids.





As a thank you to SBMSA for allowing me to serve as Commissioner for 2010, Perry Video & Photography created a short film of yesterday's tournament.  It was a very exciting tournament with both final games of the Silver and Gold Brackets winning by just one goal.  One of the teams had to go to overtime to finish it off.


Winners of Gold Division - MDE Gunners 4-3
Runner Up of Gold Division - Awty, Oak Forest Dolphins

Winners of Silver Division - Frostwood United 2-1
Runner Up of Silver Division - MDE Toros


The boys got plenty of exercise.  After 3 games that day, I'm sure they slept really well!

Enjoy the film trailer.  It's pretty cute!
Jack


p.s.  If you like this film trailer, we will be showing the full version of the film on December 2, 2010 at Skeeters Town and Country from 5:30-8.  Skeeters has live music every Thursday.  We'll play the full 10-15 minute film at 6:00pm sharp!

Briscoe Manor - Michelle and Harry Harris - 10.10.2010

Briscoe Manor offers their clients such a wonderful place to show their personalities.  What do you get when you combine Italy, Delaware, Purple and Orange Poker Chips, Las Vegas, Kisses, Texas Ranch setting, Down Home Southern Fried Food, Photo Booth fun, and Gorgeous Details everywhere?  Our dear friends and clients Michelle and Harry definitely showed their cute and fun personalities at their wedding.  What a unique event!












It was very touching to see Harry's father, a minister, perform their ceremony.  Much of what his father said to Harry & Michelle during the ceremony is used in the film: wise words from a father to bless a new marriage.

Julie and I picked a special ensemble of songs to go with their wedding film.  Interesting stories behind the song choices...

The first song actually was Michelle's choice. Abe Quigley's "Fallen". This is a cool story. I googled Abe Quigley and found him on Facebook, asking his permission to use "Fallen" in our client's wedding film. Abe was more than gracious and very flattered to be chosen. He gave us the a-o-k. What a classy artist! Abe is a very talented musician who uses a combination of violin and other instruments to create a beautiful mood for his songs. "Fallen" is majical.

As a side note, I've really become a fan of Abe.  Not only is he a gentleman artist, but his music is really easy on the ears.  Great instrumentals and smooth, sincere vocals.

The Ceremony song is a very sweet song by one of our favorite Triple Scoop Music artists--Fisher.   "I will Love You" by Fisher.

Michelle's maiden name is Mingarelli, so we wanted her wedding film to carry on her spicy Italian personality and Italian heritage.  We chose "Baciami" by Stefano Fuceli.


Enjoy!
Jack and Julie

Erin + Herman - Texas Safari Ranch - Sept 25, 2010

Beautiful fall wedding with the Mayo/Stackhouse families.   Almost 4 years ago, we had the pleasure of filming Herman's sister's wedding.  We were delighted when Mr. Mayo called us to work with their family again for his son's wedding. This was a very sunny day that turned out perfect for this neat couple.

Congratulations, Erin and Herman!

Stephanie & Richard Stegemeier - Briscoe Manor - February 6, 2010

Congratulations, Stephanie and Richard!!

This HD Perry Wedding Film is our first HD Wedding Film.  Stephanie and Richard were courageous enough to let us try out the new HD Canon 7D, 5D technology with precision Canon L series lenses.

We shot this Wedding Film near Houston in Richmond, Texas at Briscoe Manor back in February.  We created 2 versions.  Which one do you like better?  v1 or v2?
(Click the "ENLARGE" Vimeo icon in bottom right corner of video ("X") to see the video in full screen--v2 is of higher image quality than v1. We are upgrading v1's quality to post online soon.)

We are very excited to bring this product to our clients. We have trained for all of the first of 2010 to make sure that this was not only beautiful, but a secure way to produce video. We are always back up our files and shoot with back up cameras.

To this wedding film--The Mattix and Schultz families are very special to Julie and me. Angela is The Schultz Family's only daughter. We were very honored to be chosen to put this together. May it be a family treasure for years!

Perry Wedding Films - Coming Soon (like this week!)





We have held out of the High Definition upgrade game for a while. We just did not see a big difference in our great Sony DSR 250 DVCam cameras. Well, the image has now arrived. In early 2010, we invested in new HD equipment. It is the Canon 7D, 5D, and Mark IV. Gorgeous image. Unlike anything anyone has seen to date. It was the time to make the move.

Stay tuned for our new product line release "Perry Wedding Films" for Cinematic High Definitions to better serve our beautiful Houston Weddings, Brides, and Families.

We are now shooting in 24p with Canon DSLR cameras (1080p HD!). We are really excited about this! This is the coolest, most beautiful thing to happen to video/film production in our 9 years of business.

Perry Wedding Films Logo, Perry Wedding Films Web site update, Newsletters, Facebook fan updates, and more to come.

Onward to even more beautiful wedding films!

Kalli and Richard - January 16, 2010


Julie and I enjoyed the wedding of Kalli and Richard Gonzalez last week. We've been away at IN FOCUS in Austin all week, so we are just getting around to editing her piece and sharing some of the great wedding memories.

The wedding was held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spring.

The Reception was at Shirley Acres. They always do such a nice job of hosting.

DJ was Jeff Raines with DJ's Unlimited. The also provided the beautiful lighting and photo booth.

My favorite part of the wedding was to hear Kalli sing. She looked so beautiful at her wedding. To hear her sing was amazing. She is a very talented vocalist! She sang and Yodeled--a tough thing to do.

Very sweet girl. Richard is a lucky guy.

She even let me take some fun pics with her in the photo booth. I'll treasure these forever!!!

Jack & Julie
