Mitzvah Mitzvah: B'nai Mitzvah Film!

When Olivia and Alex, twins of one of favorite clients, were ready to mount the bimah for their B'nai Mitzvah in New York City, we knew we had to do something special.

We decided to play off the theme of Yin Yang chosen for their celebration: from the same womb, but very different. On a shoot day in their home, we polled their friends and family with questions illustrating their uniquel characteristics and personalities. It was a fun shoot day had by all as it became the pre-party to a beautiful celebration at Gustavino's in New York City.

Enjoy!

Double Trouble! A Recent B'nai Mitzvah

We were honored to see our latest film premiere at our client's B'nai Mitzvah celebration on April 30, 2011 at Gustavino's in New York City.

It was a lavish event courtesy of event planners Leslie Price and Eyal Tessler of In Any Event who always outdo themselves. Working on the theme of Yin Yang to represent the twins complimentary oppositions, the space was decked out in black and white decor including menu design by Invitations by Ana and entertainment by Generation Events.

When the movie time came the room hushed and everyone's attention was on the large screen at the head of the room (we love BIG screens!). There were laughs, there were tears, and overall it seemed to be a great success!

Here are some pics from that night (don't mind my amateur photographs). For better photos, you can go here.

Stay tuned soon to see the actual film here soon!

TESTIMONIAL: Rock on!

We were extremely touched when we received this note from our latest Mitzvah mom whose son rocked it out with us in our most recent Bar Mitzvah film.

Our video brought the house down! I wish you were there. Standing ovation. If my videographer caught any of the reactions on film, I will send it to you. One of the dancers said it was the best video she had ever seen, and she has seen hundreds! People were sobbing at the end, I knew it was special, and I loved it, but you never know for sure until others see it for the first time. You should definitely make it go "viral"!

Thanks again, and I hope you get the chance to do it for someone else!

Aw, shucks. It was so fun to execute! We can't wait for our next one!

Mitzvah Film: Channel Your Inner Rockstar

We are so psyched to present our newest Bar Mitzvah film. This one is a real standout!

Our Bar Mitzvah boy channeled his inner rock star!

A rock star since birth, Jason's parents accumulated hours of archival home video spanning his life. What to do with these treasures? Add a little sense of humor and you've got a Behind The Music spoof video that celebrates his journey to adulthood while also providing a lighthearted, comical mood to his big day.

The cherry on top is a really cool cover of "Surrender" showing off Jason's hot moves with help from his friends as well as spreading a very important Mitzvah project message.

Back to the Future: fun with photos

I came across this genius photography project and I HAD to share! So many things you can do with your old photos! 'nuff said!

See them all here!
