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).

Editor Reel 2010

Finally, I was able to find some time in my busy schedule to update my reel. Check it out below:

But hey Sharon, what about the website? Oh don't worry, there will be a rehauling of www.sharonruedeman.com very soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy the new reel. All of these videos included in it I have edited in 2009 and just a few (just one in fact) in very early 2010.

Here are a list of the clients featured in the video:

-Moped Productions: The Knot, The Nest, cafemom
-Tomoko Edwards - UNIQLO FanTV: How to Wear HEATTECH Outer-innerwear
-ISRAMERICA - "Jews" Music Video
-Harrington Talents - Blood Night DVD Extra "Spilling Blood: The Making of Blood Night"
-Dexter Lake Club Band - Live Performances, as featured on NYTimes.com's style section
-Mary Ahern Artist - Video Profile/Garden Tour
-Naomi Ford - Music Video Captioning


All of these videos were edited using Final Cut Pro. Graphics that I created were either made in FCP, Motion, After Effects or Photoshop, or a combination of those. The music used under my reel is from www.freeplaymusic.com

To see full videos, visit my website: www.sharonruedeman.com and click on the blog, or email me for a DVD, you can also visit my youtube channel to see full works as well: http://www.youtube.com/user/shrnron3 or vimeo: http://vimeo.com/user2340115

Thank you so much for watching, and waiting patiently. And, as always, please feel free to contact me for any of your video editing and shooting needs.

Thank you,
Sharon

No Sleep Till Brooklyn!!!

The Freelancer's Union posted this article on their Facebook account recently, which I found interesting from Metro: check it out. It talks about the growing, young, Brooklyn Freelance community, which I am proud to be a part of.

As a Freelancer, you never know where your next paycheck may be coming from or when your next gig may be. A lot of young professionals out there are juggling multiple part-time and freelance jobs just to get by. I for one, have a part-time weekend job, which I decided to take up right before the holidays, just for a little stability in life. I'm lucky enough to have a part-timer that I love and where I enjoy what I do.

I'm also lucky enough to have just started working regularly with 5-time Emmy Award winning Make-Up Artist: Eve Pearl. No, I'm not doing make-up applications, but I am learning a little about the process as I create videos for her website and youtube account. Next week I will be joining Eve and her Team at IBS at the Jacob Javvitt's center in NYC. I'm looking forward to capturing all the moments on camera and seeing Eve work her magic.

I also just helped to celebrate Moped Production's (one of my favorite clients) 3rd Anniversary, and have also been working there a lot editing home tours and wedding packages for The Nest and The Knot. Very fun work.

During these two weeks of non-stop work, I managed to also squeeze in time to work with another favorite client, Isramerica, and just finished a video for them two nights ago after a very late night edit. Look for it soon to be posted on their website and of course, on my blog.

Now, I know I promised a new reel to be coming soon. And it will be. In fact, I'm hoping for it to be posted by the end of this week. Come back soon to check it out!

New Reel - DV Shooter

Check it out: The first update for www.sharonruedeman.com was to add a separate video reel for shooting. This is a compilation of some of my experience as a camera person. I love getting out of the edit room sometimes and going on location or in studio. I enjoy learning and hearing about other people's stories, and I am always honored that I am able to be a part of that and help them share their stories with the world.




Soon to come will be the new editor's reel, just making a few finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's a New Year, and There's A Lot of Updating to Do

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2010 brings you all good luck and good spirits.

Here at SharonRuedeman.com, I'm making a New Year's Resolution to update, update, update!

In coming months I'll be adding a new show reel of course, displaying some of the great video creations and projects that I have collaborated on as well as solo projects 2009.

I'm also planning a re-design of the website, a new logo design, and in general to keep the site and the blog updated as much as possible.

Already, I have updated my resume, which you can view here: http://www.sharonruedeman.com/Resume.html.

If you have any other suggestions feel free to send me an email, or leave a comment below.
