MD block party video - The importance of promotion
When posting a new video it is very important that is also be promoted or else no one will ever see it.
The complete video of the Muscular Development Block Party held several weeks ago was posted on the MD.com website a few days after. In order to help promote it I created this teaser video hoping that anyone who stumbled across this on Youtube might then be enticed to click over to MD.com and look around.
Note how I make it known right away that you can go to MD to see more and I make it easy to get there by supplying a link to the right of the view screen, as well as pointing out that fact at the end of the video. These are details that are often neglected when most people post their videos.

Why natural bodybuilding? - Highlights video of a bodybuilding contest
Here's a recent highlights video that I made for the promoter of a local natural bodybuilding show.
Instead of the usual high-energy approach usually used for this sort of thing I thought I would try something a bit more low key. Using only soundbites from interviews conducted at the show I put together this promo clip.

Release date for Raising the Bar 3 is getting closer!
I'm getting close to the end of editing Raising the Bar 3! The release date is still set for July 1st. I see no reason why I won't make it by then.
This week I'll be having a "focus group" meeting. All that means is that I'll gather together Dave and a few close friends to watch the entire DVD and tell me what works, what doesn't, and what I've left out. It's a very important part of the process. I've been so close to this project for so long that it is impossible for me to see it objectively. After that it'll hopefully only be a few tweaks and I can begin the creation of the DVD itself.
Don't forget, if you pre-order your copy of RTB3 before the release date you get FREE shipping!!

Video under pressure!
I had a great experience this week!
Iron Sport Gym was celebrating its 10th anniversary with a four event strongman competition and I offered to videotape it. Iron Sport is owned by my cousin Steve Pulcinella, an accomplished strength athlete in his own right.
My objective with this video was to test myself and see how fast I could produce a tightly edited, exciting tribute to the day. The contest was on Sunday morning May 3rd. I had one camera on a tripod which I often left run by itself while I shot another angle of the action with a hand held camera.
I shot 3 1/2 hours of footage, wrote and recorded the voiceover myself and I had the first draft uploaded by Wednesday morning! Not too shabby!
Steve watched the video and suggested a few changes. I had the new version re-posted by Friday morning. It may not be the most polished thing I've ever done but it's good to know that I can turn around a nice, crisp piece in a TV news style in a reasonable amount of time.
Check it out and don't be afraid to make suggestions if you think it could be better.

Making a promo video for a posing class in Maryland!
Fitness competitor, bodybuilding competitor and personal trainer Gretchen Krass and Maryland NPC chairman Rich Siegelman (also a currently competing bodybuilder) are conducting a 6 week posing class for bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts in Maryland.
I know this because I am on Gretchen's emailing list. When I got the email I suggested to her that we do a cool video about this series in order to promote it for the next time. She and Rich thought it was a great idea and we are currently making plans to do just that!
My plan is to go to one of the later classes (there are two a week for 6 weeks) shoot some footage and get a few interviews. I would then combine that with footage of Gretchen winning the Maryland State last year (which I shot), add dynamic music and a voice over (of course!) explaining the course and the benefits to be gained.
I'm very excited about this project and will keep you up to date as it progresses! If you are interested in attending the classes please contact Gretchen at gretchen@gstfitness.com
