The Elora Singers perform I Beheld Her, by Healey Willan

The Elora Singers, under the direction of Mark Vuorinen, has established an international reputation as one of Canada’s finest professional choirs. It is the ensemble-in-residence of the Elora Summer Festival, Elora ON. With the appearance of the coronavirus, the choir commenced recording their concerts for online presentation. This selection, I Beheld Her, by Canadian composer Healy Willan, was recorded in the fall of 2021 in St. James Anglican Church, Dundas ON. I used six cameras for this recording, using two additional camera operators while I operated the crane camera. The audio was produced by James Kent of JK Sound Studios. James, my nephew, specializes in classical audio recording. He can be contacted at jksoundstudios@gmail.com. You can learn more about The Elora Singers at

Pastors Nate & Grant Discuss Kuyper’s Lectures on Calvinism

Recorded in my studio, this is a good example of a two-person interview/discussion video using two stationary cameras and one automated slider camera, which is set for two-person framing. The slider is set up to do a very slow back & forth pan to add some motion to the video.

Shelley Green With Ruth’s Story

Shelley is the director of Mothers With A Heart For Ethiopia. The Mothers took their annual fundraiser online when Covid appeared. This is one of the segments I recorded for their 2020 fundraiser. Here I chose to use one camera with no movement against the dark background so the viewer focuses solely on Shelley and her story-telling.

The Elora Singers presented Handel’s Messiah in November 2021

Their first live with audience performance since the start of the covid
pandemic. This video is the Hallelujah Chorus portion of the Messiah, accompanied by an orchestral ensemble. It was recorded in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Kitchener, ON. I used seven cameras, with three being operated and the remainder static. A live recording presents challenges for camera placement compared to session recordings. The audio was produced by James Kent of JK Sound Studios. James, my nephew, specializes in classical audio recording. He can be contacted at jksoundstudios@gmail.com.

Donor Ramona Testimonial

This is another segment from the Mothers With A Heart 2020 fundraiser. This is a two-camera recording with Ramona on her home’s front porch, a good example of what can be done in an outside setting.

Wonham Street House Tour

Back about 2010 I tried my hand at house flipping and being an on-camera personality with this promotional video. Another local videographer recorded the raw video for me and I did the editing and production. The house sold and I lost money, but it was fun!

Carolyn Wettlaufer, Realtor

My daughter Carolyn uses video on social media to promote homes that her employer brokerage, Sam Singh Realty, has for sale.  Real estate videos typically have a very short timeline, often needing to be produced within a few days.  In this video I used specialized camera mounting equipment to capture interesting and informative video segments of the major areas of this model home.

Alzheimer Society Oxford

Several years ago I produced a promo video for the Society’s Volunteer Companion program with their executive director, Shelley Green. Shelley approached me again in 2017 to produce a promotion video for their primary fundraiser, Walk For Alzheimers.

This is a Christian para-church ministry lead by Cory McKenna in London Ontario. Cory wanted a short simple promo he could use for his website and live events.

This is a volunteer-run organization in Woodstock Ontario that supports women and their children. Their annual fundraiser is Gems & Java. This promo was produced from their 2017 fundraiser.

Wastemaster Hose Storage System

Drainmaster is a California company that produces waste systems for the recreational vehicle industry. Several years ago I purchased one of their systems for our RV and had a very good experience with the product. For my own fun, I produced a short video of my installation. Drainmaster was so pleased with it that they put it on their website and refunded me the cost of the system. That video has had about 8500 YouTube views, which I think is good for a video about an RV sewer hose! In 2017 Drainmaster released a new product and approached me about doing a video for it. They provided me the product at no charge for me to install on our own RV in return for me producing this video about my installation.
