Karina Dresstimonials™

Hey all!

I know it's been a while since I made a blog post. That's because I've been BUSY working on a lot of awesome projects, like The Knot Live, a weekly live web show on theknot.com, Dexter Lake Club Band new videos for the upcoming wedding season, and very recently I had the pleasure of working with Karina Cousineau, an amazingly inspirational entrepreneur, dress designer, brooklynite and a very cool lady in general.

Karina designs 'dresses for every-body'. It's not just a tagline, it's true. Her dresses are also perfect for travel, easy to care for, and super cute. I personally own 4 dresses and 2 skirts, and I love wearing them. They're just amazing, and I've seen them fit every female figure out there, first-hand. Well, just see for yourself:



I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Karina and create more inspirational videos with her. In the mean time, check out her online store: www.KarinaDresses.com or watch the Dresstimonials on her site: http://karinadresses.com/dresstimonialstm


That's all for now!

January 2011 Update

Hey All -

It's been a crazy last few weeks. January started off with a bang!

I just finished up an intense DVD project for Isramerica. Here is a still of the Main Menu layout to the left. I'll post the other menus soon for you to check out.

It was a pretty challenging DVD authoring session. I don't think I've worked on a DVD with so many menus, tracks and slideshows before, but in the end it came out well. If you would like to find out more about Isramerica, please visit their website: www.isramerica.com.

Thanks to Moped Productions I also picked up new client this month: Ramon Ray of smallbiztechnology.com. I churned out about 15 videos for him this week from the 2011 CES Exhibit in Las Vegas. Look for him on youtube to see the videos.

Phew! It's been a busy few weeks with hardly and sleep, but it's been worth it. I'm heading out west for about a week for some much needed r&r. I'll see you all when I get back, and oh yea -

Happy New Year Everyone - thank you for all your support, collaborations and inspirations. Let's make sure this new year is filled with even more great work and projects.

As always - thanks for stopping by,

DeWitt Stern White Pages

Last month I did a 10 day edit with Moped Productions for DeWitt Stern. It's a series of white page videos which help to inform and incite buyers of fine art, theater and film insurance.

Check out their new website design and watch the videos: here.

As always, thanks for stopping by,

Dan Mo Music Video is Live

Please check out the new music video for Dan Mo's original song, "I'm Ready". We shot it last month in Brooklyn, NY and I finished the edit just last week. It was my first music video that I fully produced from beginning to end. I had a lot of fun, I learned a lot and I can't wait to shoot more!

Watch it, Leave comments, Ratings, etc.

As always, thanks for stopping by www.sharonruedeman.com

What a Beautiful Day for a Video Shoot

Just wrapped up on shooting a DanMo music video for his original song "I'm Ready." If you're not familiar, definitely check out his youtube page here. His videos right now are straight from the heart, webcam style but we decided to take it up a knotch!

We went all around Park Slope today finding the right locations, lighting and shots but most of all having fun. Edit will most likely start this Monday...so stay tuned (linked in).

Found some of my old work on YouTube

Isn't YouTube great? After leaving WWE, I was unable to get some of my more recent work before I left. Lucky for me, some of the rabid fans posted a lot of it on YouTube.

This video here is a promo I did for one the ATT mobile shows I produced called WWE Diva Shorts. Enjoy:

A Garden Tour

I was recently lucky enough to follow Mary Ahern of www.maryahernartist.com as she gave tours to about 100 people of her Northport, NY garden. Mary also sat down with me for an interview to talk about her garden, the concepts behind it and its development over the years.

Take a moment to watch the video below:

The Welcome Post

Hello All -

Welcome to SharonRuedeman.Com - The Blog. It is here that I hope to keep SharonRuedeman.com updated with latest news and activities as well as discuss industry related materials. Please feel free to comment and leave feed back. The more the merrier.

Since this is the basic, HELLO blog, I thought I'd start out by linking to a really helpful and basic article about Prosumer and Professional cameras. It is from one of B&H's (the world reknown camera and video store) recent newsletters. Although I did know a lot of what the article covered, I have to admit that I learned somethings about cameras as well. In any case, there's no harm in a littler refresher course on what is important when it comes to cameras, I think you may all enjoy it:
