Submarine Report!

Hello there! This is Spencer, writing to you from my submarine! AKA the basement room which is now the room I sleep in at my father’s house. I’m writing to tell you a couple of things. One, I’m sorry there haven’t been anymore updates from NESCom, I’m going to try and get one out soon. Two, to all the new video students coming in and all the old ones still chugging away, keep at it! I’m glad to see all the new content coming out of Rambler Productions.

I would like to remind everyone to invite their Facebook friends to the Rambler Productions Facebook group. I would also like to recommend NESCom to any student interested in a career centered around video, audio, journalism, web design or advertising. It’s a really great place and you can learn a lot. If anyone has questions about the school, email me at [email protected] or send me a message on Facebook.

I will hopefully be dropping by the school while it is in session before I have to head back to NESCom. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

SHOCKING!

It has been far too long since I or anyone else has posted here. It is time for an update all that has been happening around Rambler Productions, and shockingly, even with no official class this semester, a great deal is taking place.

First, we have filmed a number of productions over the last few months. These have ranged from motivational assemblies to dance shows. Following is a list of what we have been working on lately:

  • Live and Dance Strong: Benefit dance show we filmed this summer. DVDs are now available. 
  • Inn Disposed: Our 48 Hour Film Festival piece. A separate blog post coming soon about this.
  • Welcome to Lovely’s: The WHS fall play. Currently in editing.
  • Cabaret 2010: Fall Edition: Currently in editing.
  • Thrills and Chills: A Kennebec Dance Centre production. DVDs are now available.
  • Julia Clukey: Olympian bobsledder from Maine who came to speak about choices. Editing on the back burner at the moment.

We will also be filming the Kennebec Dance Centre’s Tap Nutcracker this Saturday. Information and DVD pricing and availability will be forthcoming.

Furthermore we have been asked to film all the boys’ basketball games this season and three students have volunteered to do this.

I also have updated the “Buy Our Stuff” page with the details on our latest releases, including those mentioned above as well as the 2010 Football Highlights DVD that Joey Brennen put together.

Saving the best for last, I have ordered about $2200 worth of new audio equipment, which should be here any day now. This includes an audio field recorder, a mic and boom kitheadphones, and a few other necessary accessories. Once the order finally arrives and I have some time to play with it, I will post a review. This equipment will help us produce much better sound quality on future projects. Of course, purchases like this would not be possible without everyone that selflessly gives up their time to film, edit, and produce the various DVDs we are committed to making every year. A huge and heartfelt “Thank You” to all of you.

More to come soon, so stayed tuned!
