Reality Check Productions

It's been years since I've last updated this page. This is now the last online presence of my videography company. It has been years of me paying for my web site for no real worthwhile reason. I just backed up my web site to my hard drive for offline viewing and am now terminating the actual online web site through Yahoo. Anyone may still contact me through this page. I have always also kept my same hotmail email address. Thanks!

Today I sold my DVD Duplicator I used for the business. It needed to go, business or no business. If I had a business again, I'd be going the thumb drive and web delivery route. I had thought about selling it now and then anyway. It was my least-used piece of equipment. Still a little sad to see it go. These don't seem to be selling on ebay, but I got a couple hits from Raleigh Craigslist. But I was glad to sell it to a band teacher locally here in Topsail Middle School, who also volunteers at the Presbyterian church I think it is and can possibly use it for them as well.

PLEASE NOTE: www.cutmymovie.com no longer links to my web site. You can still use www.realitycheckvideography.com. I decided to let go of the old domain name.

Well, not much to update here. Still in limbo whether I'll do anything as far as a business goes here in NC. But I'd still love to shoot weddings for other companies. I've recently been working on swapping out my DVX100B main camera (Standard Def DV tape) to a Canon DSLR and building a shoulder mount rig for it and figuring out all the different audio methods and devices I need to use with it. Along with that I am in the process of finally upgrading the edtiing system to Adobe Premiere CS 5.5, a new video card, and Windows 7 64bit.

In the past few months I've also shot some local events that can be seen here:

So long, Panny DVX100B. You've been so good to me the past 4 years, but you were growing long in the tooth, and I have to take advantage of an opportunity to trade you in for essentially an even swap for a much better quality picture and tapeless media. I had to sell you before you were worth nothing. It still sickens me that you were worth $1600 4-5 years ago, and today you're only worth $800.

At this point I must disclose, after holding off on it, that I, as most of you know, will be relocating to the Wilmington NC area. Specifically, to just under the mainland of Surf City, NC. I will be keeping my web site up with everyone's wedding videos on it. As far as the future of doing wedding videography...

It's really really really strange believing for years that one day something would suddenly happen that causes the impossible to persuade die-hards to jump off the sinking ship while you're safely on board watching on another. Meanwhile your ship is throwing out preservers for them to catch.
