(I'm the one at the bottom due to alphabetical order)

Hey if you liked that, you could also see my bio on Moped Production's website as well:

A lot has been going on besides me writing short bios about myself. In May I produced a series of artist spotlight videos for the Northport ArtWalk. It was great learning about the different techniques and art styles of each artist, and it was really cool to see the whole community coming out and enjoying the day. Check out their youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/northportartwalk

In June I jumped in at Moped Productions to do a little reality tv work. It was a lot of long hours and hard work, but it was a lot of fun working with the team over at Moped, as usual.

Over at Eve Pearl, I've been helping produce videos for the AOL/Huffington Post StyleList section, check out some of the great work we've been putting together:

This month I'm joining HelloSuper8 on some great wedding shoots along the East Coast. I'm looking forward to learning more about the wedding industry and helping tell some great stories along the way. (I'm a sap for a good love story) It's been so much fun so far working with Super8 film, I love the look and feel of all the pieces she's puts together. Check out the HelloSuper8 website and she what I'm talking about: http://hellosuper8.com/

Check back soon, I think I smell a website overhaul coming my way...

November Update

The last few months have been pretty busy.

Last month, over at Moped Productions, I worked on a biography piece for Sterling Publishing's new author and book series. You can view the video here:

Interview with Colleen Houck, author of Tiger's Curse

I'm also involved in working on a Highlight Reel from this year's BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) Conference with Moped. Visit BSR online to familiarize yourself with their message, and to see the steps their taking towards better business practices and sustainability.

Over at EVE PEARL, I've been continuing to help produce our new webcast on ustream.tv - and Eve has had some really exciting guests on the show in the past few episodes like Sam Fine, Crystal Wrights and some really cool bloggers. Visit us at www.ustream.tv/evepearltv to see our latest show, chat and tweet with us.

Also from EVE PEARL, the first of many Qosmedix white page videos is live! Watch it here:

December shows no signs of stopping either. Stay tuned for my new updated reel which should be available to see come January.

As always, thanks for stopping by.

Website Updates: New Logo, New Art Section and More!

NEW LOGO -So as you can see at the top of the blog and all through out the website, there is a new logo on the scene. She's cool, she's shooting some videos and there's a bird on her head!

I've been trying to come up with the perfect logo design for a few years now,and although she may not be perfect, I think she sums up the website and what I do pretty well. I sketched her up on Monday night and turned her digital yesterday using mostly Photoshop, but also a little Illustrator.

I wanted an image that represented my many hats, so to speak...The bird is meant to represent my Voice Over work, as you can see displayed on the VO Page. And the reason she's holding the camera is to represent my Video work.



NEW ART/POETRY SECTION - There's a new section on the website, called Art. It's a little rough right now as I'm trying to gather my art, poems and photography from over the years.....but stay tuned as I populate this page with more works.

NEW GRAPHICS - I've added the Show Open that I created for EVE PEARL video and also an example of my Photoshop skills. Check it out.


Hmm, what else is new? Oh yea, today I helped EP air her first of many live webcasts via Ustream.tv. Unfortunately, she made me get on camera at one point....but all around it was a lot of fun, and I look forward to next week's show. You can watch the recorded video here: EP Live. (I appear towards the end)

That's all the updates for now, but as always check back soon for more new projects being posted.



Thanks for stopping by,

New Website Design!!

It took a while but the website finally got the overhaul it's been needing. Check it out now: www.sharonruedeman.com and let me know what you think. It's still (as always) a work in progress.

Hmm, what else is going? I just finished up a long edit with Moped Productions last month, a series of White Page videos for DeWitt Stern.

Also in July I was the lead camera on an all day shoot with Eve Pearl over at Qosmedix. I will most likely be starting the edit for 4 or 5 videos for them sometime this month. Very cool.

The Dan Mo video released last May/June has now reached over 200 hits on youtube, very exciting. Should be doing more videos with Dan again soon.

I also have plans of starting more personal projects coming up...Check back soon for more news and updates!

And as always, thanks for stopping by. Feel free to contact me for your video needs.

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

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.
