Perry Video Productions to Feature Musicians, Designers, Artists

Perry Video Productions will soon feature Talent on their new blog site www.perryvideo.com.

The link is still being sorted out, but visit this one for now.  Soon to showcase Artists, Musicians, and Designers we love and get inspiration from to use in film production for our Houston Brides, Houston Weddings, and Commercial Film Production.

As a teaser...our first featured Artist will be Abe Quigley.  Abe is an amazing musician artist who we have used in a Wedding Film in the past.  Much of his music is more than just for wedding video or wedding film.  It is great to just relax and listen to.  Stay tuned...!

Very excited to promote these talented Artists soon!

Farewell our good friend Blogger of nearly 6 years.  I think our first post was around 2005!  Our daughter was not even born then!  You were the best there was and have treated us wonderfully allowing us to post our wedding film work and promote our wedding video, photography, and film business.

(Thank you to This Blogger v. Word Press link for this cool logo)

Today, we enabled our new site for Perry Video and Photography.  Very excited to announce the clean, beautful, light as a Feather, simple design of:

 www.PerryVideo.com
 (www.perryvideo.com)
The New Web and Blog Site for Perry Video and Photography of Houston.

With this new Word Press site, we will be able to quickly make updates for our company and post our most recent work in a simpler, better designed way.  We love it!

Our trusted site of 9 years--www.perryvideoproductions.com will still be around.  That site likely will integrate into perryvideo.com sometime soon.  Dont quite have that figured out!

This will likely be our last Blog post on www.perryvideo.blogspot.com.

Lauren & Brad Congdon - First Presbyterian & The Houstonian Hotel - June 4, 2011

Happy 1 month anniversary, Lauren and Brad!  Julie, myself, and our crew had a great time with them at their wedding last month.  First Presbyterian Church in The Museum District of Houston and at The Houstonian later that night for their reception.

We loved how they took a moment to hold hands, but not see look at each other before the ceremony.   That was really special.  (wish I had done that with my wedding!)  John Ly, our photographer friend got a good shot of this too.

The DJ at The Houstonian Damon Pampolina with PRP Entertainment brought tons of fun energy to the party.  He is great.  Always has been every time we work together.

Enjoy their Highlight Video!

The Literary Greats CD Release Party - "Black Blizzard"

Awesome privledge to have talented artist friends.  Our good friend Brandon Elam and Chris Ginsbach accompany a group of several other very talented musicians in their band - The Literary Greats.

A side note.  I love The Literary Greats music because it is a bit raw, honest, and unpredictable.  The sound variations and patterns are really creative.  They have a sound of their own.  Very original.  Refreshing.  Reflective, yet upbeat and happy.  Check them out on iTunes and on Facebook!

Back to last night.  The Literary Greats held a CD release party for their new album Black Blizzard to a packed Continental Club of Midtown/Downtown Houston, Texas.   There were just under 200 people in attendance.

Julie and I got to get a word from the band about the meaning of their album and what led them to title it "Black Blizzard".   Enjoy this short documentary piece for our good friends The Literary Greats and their new Album Black Blizzard.

Emily & Chris Galvan - March 19, 2011 - The Club at La Sonterra in San Antonio, TX

Congratulations to Chris and Emily--an amazing San Antonio wedding!

By now, you've just celebrated your 1 month anniversary.  Honeymoon in Hawaii, now settling in to your new life together.  We wish you all the best.

Julie and I had an awesome time putting this short wedding film piece together.  Julie and one of our partner Andy Moody with Cinema Elegance out of Chorpus Christi teamed up to film this event.  I was in Houston at another wedding on this date.   Andy has a great eye for film, awesome with all things audio, and is really easy to work with (he also has some really sweet lenses and other gear!).  Thanks Andy!!

It was a real treat to be called to San Antonio to work with Chris, Emily, and their family on this wedding.  The Ceremony was held at University United Methodist Church.  The Reception was held at a gorgeous wedding venue in San Antonio--The Club at La Sonterra.

So...enjoy this fun film short to hold you over until we release the longer highlight piece.   Music selection for score from TripleScoopMusic.com--Gordon Pagoda--"I I I I'm Feeling Fine (instrumental version)"

Let us know how you like it!

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
