A special announcement for CrossFit or cross training enthusiasts of any kind!
I have become known in the past few years for my bodybuilding videos. But recently I have been given the opportunity to explore a new world...CrossFit and cross training! I have spent the last few months producing training videos for a new site called http://mhpxfit.com/!
If you’d like to get a taste of a new way to get fit then check out some of the cross training and CrossFit videos we have begun to post!
This is the page you want to bookmark!!
http://mhpx-fit.com/workouts/
We have begun to post our educational and inspirational training videos and there’s lots more to come. Check them out! Tell us what you think and what you’d like to see in the future.
And be sure to sign up to get notifications of product specials and new videos whenever they come out
Soon we will begin to post 20 incredible WODs (that's Workout Of the Day, for you newbies!) and several challenge workouts with which you can earn cash and prizes by competing against other X-FIT enthusiasts all across the country!
I’m very excited about this new direction for Mike Pulcinella Video Productions and I have even been challenged to try a CrossFit workout for myself! You will hear and SEE more about that very soon!
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. Don’t worry, there will be more bodybuilding videos with Kai Greene, Jose Raymond and others coming in the following months!

The Ultimate Transformation Challenge!
I'm very proud to announce the release of a new mini documentary.
I was invited to observe Thomas Phillips' UTC in Marlboro, New Jersey and create a short documentary about some of the body transformations that he has helped people achieve.
The result is this inspiring 25 minute video which has been getting some really great feedback so far!

My first strictly voice over job!
I'm very happy and proud to announce that for the first time I've been asked to perform a voice over for a video I did not shoot!
The great Pavel Ythjall directed a promo for the new iSport athlete's headphones and together he and I came up with this voiceover for the behind the scenes video shot by some of his crew!
Thanks Pavel! I've been wanting to do this since I was 12 years old!

And now a word from our sponsor!
I love making documentaries, and I'm grateful for the enjoyment that people seem to get out of them.
But I also have to pay the bills!
Luckily, most of my documentaries are sponsored by supplement companies. That means that they pay for the expense of shooting and editing, in return for me helping them sell their products.
In order to save money, the commercials I make are cobbled together from the documentary footage. We don't have formal "commercial shoots"...at least not yet!
So here are a few of my recent commercials. I keep it fairly simple, no complex motion graphics, just a few clips from my documentary footage, some descriptive voice over, the product shots and music.
Now that my business is growing and I've relocated near New York, I hope to soon be creating more planned out and scripted commercials for some of these products.

Where are all the new Mike Pulcinella videos??
For those of you who are wondering why you have not been seeing many new videos from me...here's what's going on.
1. When you make videos at this level of the sport there are many people that have to approve each video before it can be posted.
In the old days I would just shoot something and post it on Youtube when it was done. Now there is the sponsoring supplement company, the sponsoring magazine, the athlete and sometimes the athlete's representation to go through. Very often the magazine website wants exclusive rights to show the video for a time. When we later post on Youtube the video must be reconfigured and re-exported for that venue, logos and commercials added or subtracted, etc. All of this slows the process down from me to you.
2. I have been very fortunate to have many projects that I am working on for a variety of clients.
However, still being a one man operation, this often means that they don't all get done as quickly as we'd like. I am producing videos all the time but some are more specialized and not as high profile as the bodybuilding documentaries. Some of this work you may never see.
3. I am working on serial projects for the future.
In other words, like a TV series, I have to have many episodes "in the can", as they say, before we begin posting so that we aren't scrambling week to week to make the deadline.
4. A lot of the work I am doing is non-documentary work.
Commericals take time to produce...a lot of time. A 90 second commerical can take as long to perfect as a 12 minute documentary clip.
5. I am moving in two weeks!
In order to be where the action is I am moving closer to NYC! But I am also a single man and so the entire moving process, from start to finish, including packing all of my stuff these past few weeks is mostly on my shoulders. Imagine doing that and editing documentary videos AND taking care of the paperwork, invoicing, taxes, etc, for a small business and cooking and cleaning and doing laundry etc etc! I'm not complaining, it's what I asked for and I enjoy the work, but there are only so many hours in a day.
6. The hurricane disrupted normal operations for MHP and MuscleMeds.
Fairfield has been flooded all week. They have been unable to get to their offices and so the videos that I have done have not been able to be approved and passed on to the other people necessary to approve them. I am hoping we will be able to resume normal operation this coming week. Please note that if you've oereded any supplements from either of these companies your shipments may be delayed.
Once again, I am grateful for your enthusiam for my work and thankful for your understanding. I assure you this is a transition period for me. Once I get settled in my new apartment and establish my editing studio MIke Pulcinella Video Productions will be going full speed ahead like never before!!
Thanks,
Mike Pulcinella
