They will likely also use this when they need a quick commercial to be used on pages on the website or any digital marketing that they plan to use.

While it's not finished (I still need to fix sound effects, add in the final voice over artist and license the music), the commercial has been completely shot and wrapped filming. I could go back in and shoot more scenes if it feels necessary.

Knowing all of that, I would love some feedback on what you think about it.

- What works?
- What doesn't work?
- Does the story of this video make sense?

Anything you can provide would be helpful! I don't make these types of videos often and it's the first proper TV commercial that I have ever made that I actually went out and shot every single frame for the intent of it being a TV spot.

Thanks for any feedback you are willing to provide.

I shoot with 2 cameras, so I have both a wide shot and a close-up. I am considering two different edits: #1 - Cut to the wide shot during the freeze. This acknowledges the incident. #2 - Keep tight shot... Editing now - A dancer froze on stage for a good 16 seconds as she forgot her choreography. I shoot with 2 cameras, so I have both a wide shot and a close-up. I am considering two different edits:
#1 - Cut to the wide shot during the freeze. This acknowledges the incident.
#2 - Keep tight shot throughout, but totally remove the footage of the frozen dancer, and cross-dissolve as best as possible. It will lack some continuity, but removes the odd freezing. ]]> Wedding / Event Videography Techniques Vince Pachiano https://www.dvinfo.net/forum/wedding-event-videography-techniques/539752-recital-solo-dancer-froze-stage.html Hallerbos bluebells https://www.dvinfo.net/forum/show-your-work/539751-hallerbos-bluebells.html Sat, 06 Jun 2026 20:31:32 GMT We Visited Hallerbos Too Early... and Found Something Amazing - YouTube

In 1989 my wife and I took our 2 young daughters to Disneyland where I soon noticed a street band of 4 players, walking around and stopping every now and then to play a few Disney numbers for the crowd.

And the trumpet, tenor sax, trombone and baritone sax musical arrangements were very good, so good in fact, I arranged to meet my family later and a couple of fans and I followed them around for 1/2 an hour just listening to them at each stop. That was Gordon Goodwins first job and I think he wrote those arrangements and played the tenor sax there. I should have asked him.

He subsequently went on to form his Big Phat Band, they released 11 Cds and won three Daytime Emmy Awards, four Grammy Awards, and 25 Grammy nominations for his compositions and arrangements.

He became a favourite bandleader of mine and many other fans worldwide. He led his Big Phat Band for many years, and started writing for Warner Bros cartoons regularly in 1969, He probably was in the same Warners studio I was in in 1996.

In May 2014 Gordon and his Big Phat Band flew L.A. to Brisbane Australia, then to Adelaide then took a coach to Mt. Gambier to play in the Generations in Jazz festival on the weekend organised by Australian multi instrumentalist James Morrison. I’ve worked with James, he’s just the persuasive man to pull a thing like that off. It was a great success.

But on the way they first came to Sydney and played concerts in the Chatswood Concourse theatre, about 30 minutes from where I live. I didn’t know that and I m-i-s-s-e-d them.

However tragically, 8th December 2025, Gordon Goodwin died from prostrate cancer. Musicians and fans around the world were shocked and are still devastated. Individually here’s some of the world’s best instrumentalists …
