I just got back from filming some TV promos and performance of world-class trumpeter Chris Botti at Green Valley Ranch Resort in Henderson, NV. One of his special guests was Assia, a world-class violinist from the Ukraine in her American debut performance. Very exciting. Chris had some great talent in his band including multi-grammy winning pianist, Billy Childs and guest singer Lisa Fisher who performed with the Rolling Stones for many years. The promo spots I filmed of Chris before the concert are going to be used on TV in Europe in the coming months to promote his tour and where to purchase his albums. At the end of the concert Chris welcomed celebrity couple, David Brenner and Tai Babilonia and invited them on stage to play drums on the next to last song of the evening. It was a lighthearted moment that really got the crowd going.

Las Vegas – I am very proud to announce that Emerald Motion Pictures & KTF Media Productions were just presented with a GOLD 2011 EMPixx Award for our work on our short film, “A Doll Named Charlotte”. We all worked very hard on this film, along with the crew of KTF Media Productions, to bring to life the vision of writer, director, Scott “Scooter” Diel. We are all very pleased with the results and the recognition we are receiving. This film has already won a 2011 People’s Bronze Telly Award, a 48 Hour Film Project Jury Award for original music and runner up as audience favorite.

I had the honor of filming the party and concert celebrating the release of Mark OToole’s debut CD at the M Resort in Las Vegas. It was standing room only, filled with hundreds of his loyal and dedicated fans. The CD was produced by the legendary, 6-time Grammy winning producer, Keith Olsen. One of the songs was co-written by Jason Scheff, the lead singer of Chicago.

I just completed this promo video for Mark from the footage we shot at the event.

We are very excited and proud to announce that Emerald Motion Pictures was recognized for our work on the Short Form Edit of the Johnston/Graham Wedding which we shot at The Orchard in Menifee, CA last summer.

The DV Awards is a new and exciting international competition celebrating outstanding creative and technical achievements in the emerging world of digital video production. From independent films, commercials, corporate communications and industrial videos to 3D animation, special effects and event videos, dozens of categories will be recognized.

With the advent and increasing affordability of digital video, a rising number of outstanding productions are not being produced in multimillion dollar film and television studios, but in small desktop studios, manned by a few determined and creative individuals. The DV awards were created to honor these individuals and their accomplishments.

What a beautiful night it was with the sun setting over the golf course as Ashley & Gareth recited their vows on the patio in picture perfect weather. Shelley Sampson and her staff did a wonderful job attending to the bride & groom’s needs throughout the evening. Floral arrangements by Naakiti Floral did the beautiful flower arrangements and entertainment and music was provided by Patrick Labbate of The Music Solution. This was truly a fun crowd.

We Just Received Our Telly Award

This afternoon, FEDEX came to my door with a very special package. By the shape of it I instantly knew what it was. It was our very first Telly Award. I quickly unwrapped it and man, is it heavy! I immediately began to look around my office for a good spot for it. None. So I put up a shelf on the wall directly opposite the door so it would be the very first thing my clients would see when they enter.

Beautiful…isn’t she? I look forward to trying to earn more Tellys and other awards.

Sincerely
Glenn Student
