Rock the World 2012

On April 24 & 25th Savor the Success  held the annual Rock the World Event at the Union Square Ballroom.  It was really a great two days and I think the best one yet!  I brought my new camera on the second day to get familiar with the bells and whistles and to play.  Some shots I took from my table in the back and others are from the moments when I remembered to jump up.  Here’s a little montage of some of the fun.  Just for fun.


Robyn Hatcher

While I do video storytelling – I also do photo & video montages and edit demo reels.  This is a reel I did for Robyn Hatcher from “Speak Etc”  from all her talks and appearances.  She is the Queen of teaching  presentation skills.   I always learn something when I take on a project and this was especially important since good first impressions are, as unfortunate as it can seem,  what people remember.

What kind of a first impression do you think you make?


Video Storytelling Bootcamp

So I took a weekend workshop at CUNY School of Journalism  titled CUNY J-Camp: Video Storytelling Bootcamp.   I loved it.

I want to tell not just good stories but stories that help shine a light on the person – the real person.  I know that might sound lofty but I don’t really care at this moment.  The story is important but to me the person behind the story is who I want to get to know.

Anyway – we did an video exercise around  “object of meaning”  that we each brought in.  Working in pairs we put together a 60 second clip about our partner.  Here’s mine.

What would your “object of meaning” be?


Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays!

Any good Holiday stories you’d like to share?


Judith’s Moment # 59

Boot shopping time for me.  Next time I’ll come properly dressed.

Any similar stories to share?  I would love to hear them.  My embarrassed ego would love it too!

I had a moment to put up but it seems so ridiculous to do after hearing of the loss of Steve Jobs last night – Oct 5.  I just wonder what we will do without him.

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011


Judith’s Moment # 58

Got myself the to a ballet class after at least 8 years. Yikes.

It’s hard to not be a beginner in a beginner’s body. Care to share any similar experiences? Come on!


Judith’s Moment # 57

I’m back … and hope you are too!

It is possible to enjoy the weekend and get things done?


Telling a Simple Story or Simply Telling a Story

Forget where I found this but it was on my “watch and study” list.  It is a beautiful simple video.  Cinematographer William Hereford  captures Nathan Englander’s story.
