Here is an example of a series of :30 commercials we created for a corporate client last year.

Holy cow…has it really been THAT long since I posted a blog entry?! Things have been even crazier than usual around here!

I blogged earlier about Dalia & Mitchell’s wedding which we filmed in West Palm Beach in March. Well just a few days after getting home from there, a colleague in the LA area asked me (Laura) to come do a Same Day Edit for a corporate event. That was fun and involved quite a few retired NBA stars. But I wasn’t prepared to see snow in the foothills and froze my patootie off! LOL!! I did manage to get a great shot of the palm trees with snow in the background…certainly not something I’m used to seeing!

After that short adventure, we had another ‘short notice trip’ down to San Diego to film some Pearl Harbor vets. Those men really are one-of-a-kind heroes and it was an honor to capture their stories in High Definition. One of the gentlemen, John Finn is the last living Medal of Honor recipient from the attack on Pearl Harbor. He is such an engaging and fascinating man! A special thanks to our buddy Randy Stubbs for letting us borrow his lighting kit so we didn’t have to ship ours down there!

The week after that, a corporate client needed us to go to Jacksonville, Florida and Waukegan, Illinois to create some client testimonials for an upcoming meeting. That happened in the midst of the American Airlines MD80 debacle and we saw a lot of people who were stranded at Chicago O’Hare. The trip was filled with flight delays and lots of cold rain (even in Florida!) so we were actually happy to get back home to the 50-degree weather! LOL!! Thankfully the following week found us in Honolulu for an on-site editing session with a client and we were able to warm up quite a bit! So basically at the beginning of March when I looked at my calendar we had one trip coming up. By the end of April we had FOUR more added in! Crazy!

All this traveling has us very thankful to be home, although I wouldn’t have minded if we just staying in Hawaii forever. We are a little bit suntanned, exhausted, and behind on our editing but we are soooo grateful for our children having been away too many nights from them over the last two months. I swear they grew at least an inch while we were coming and going! Mega kudos to Andrew (our oldest son and editor extraordinaire!) for holding down the fort and keeping his little brothers in check! Now it’s time for some serious editing all-nighters!

Here is a link to an article printed the other day in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. I had finally gotten around to sending out some press releases for the First Place Telly Award we received for this short documentary and they decided to write a story. The only thing wrong is that we didn’t bring the survivors out to the island, the museum director did. I’m going to have to see if they can correct that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the article!

In 2004 we had the honor of filming the wedding of Don Curtiss and Michelle Quisenberry in a town called Volterra in Tuscany, Italy. When the couple came back home to Seattle they opened a new Italian restaurant in Ballard named Volterra. The food is amazing and the ambiance is cozy yet swanky all at once! Chef Don has received rave reviews from all over, including the New York Times. Volterra has definitely become one of “THE” places to eat in Seattle!

Now they have expanded by adding the Drawing Room right next to the restaurant. This hip spot is perfect for rehearsal dinners, small weddings and other events. Chihuly art lines the walls along with a state of the art A/V system (which would be perfect to show your Same Day Edit or Love Story created by us!) Here is a video from their opening night. Dale Chihuly was there to cut the ribbon for “A Dinner and A Movie” with SIFF and director Ang Lee.

We were hired by Spa Agio in Redmond to create a promotional video that captures the essence of the Spa. This place is gorgeous! The owners, Terese & Dwayne Clark incorporated treatments that they discovered during their travels to nearly 400 spas in 40 different countries. That’s right….400 different spas! So this is really a compilation of the best of the best! And for those of you getting married they also host bachelorette parties too! How fun is that????

One of the most unique things Spa Agio has to offer is vinotherapy …wine baths. They have this amazing bubble bath that is mixed with wine and it smells unbelievable! I just wish this video had smellivision, but since it doesn’t you’ll just have to go and experience it for yourself!

This weekend Spa Agio will be one of the awesome vendors at the CRAVEShow at the Seattle Convention Center. This is the video we put together for the show. I hope you enjoy it and that it makes you want to drop everything you are doing and make an appointment for a massage or facial!

We keep talking about adding at least one Mac to our editing arsenal. I think this one would be perfect! (tongue in cheek!)

The Top 25 Retreat and Symposium (as it is being called!) got my creative juices flowing and I have a million new ideas running through my head. Here’s a photo below of those who were able to make it courtesy of David Robin. Of course our first priority is to get caught up on our editing, but we’ve already implemented some Same Day Edit only packages that you can see on our website and we are planning on adding in some other new, fun video offerings so keep your eyes open for those!

No, I can’t seem to ever take a good photo!

After the Top 25, we were back for 1-1/2 very short days. We barely had enough time to catch our breath and headed off to the Bay area for a 5-day corporate shoot. Since we had to take a ton of gear and Sherlock (our new shooter/grip who is AWESOME!!) we drove down there. The shoot went really well and the footage is gorgeous HD with great lighting, teleprompter, the whole nine yards. But it took us almost 15 hours to drive home yesterday in the pouring rain. That part wasn’t so much fun! But we had a good time getting to know Sherlock a bit better. He has done about 4 or 5 shoots with us now and will definitely become a more permanent part of Edit 1 Media as time goes on. He certainly proved his stamina and devotion to us by listening to my constant chatter for that long! LOL!

I promise I’ll post some more video VERY soon!! Thanks for reading and feel free to comment!!

Just a quick and very belated post to brag for a moment!

In May Edit 1 Media was honored with a First Place Telly Award for a short documentary video that is in the movie theater of the Pacific Aviation Museum in Honolulu, HI. This short movie was filmed on Ford Island, a small island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii that the US battleships surrounded on the morning of December 7, 1941. The story highlights two men who were 19 yeard old during the attack and who helped other men out of the burning waters of Pearl Harbor. Their lives were dramatically changed that fateful day and our film took them back to Ford Island where a new museum was being built. It’s an extremely powerful film that shows two men still haunted by war over 65 years after the attack.

I’m proud to say that my father, Allan Palmer the CEO of the Palmer Group along and my brother, Steven Palmer (graphics, design and so much more), my sister Adrienne Palmer (website) and the awesome curator named Mike Wilson (who is practically family) were almost completely responsible for raising this musuem from nothing. Upon the museum’s opening on December 7, 2007 we were so proud to be a part of perserving an important piece of American history. The thousands of people in attendance made every hard moment of work worth it for all of us.

We are so honored to have been blessed by this experience and being able to meet such incredible people as Herb Franck, Ernie Olson, Gen. Chuck Yeager, Gen. Robin Olds, Wally Schirra, John Finn, and countless others. The Palmer Group ROCKS!!!!

Chris and I wrapped up our crazy corporate shoot by flying out to Tampa, Florida a few days ago. The weather there was absolutely perfect. Bright blue skies, lots of sunshine…just perfect! We met with David and Vance from VHVideo Productions to talk business and had a great time with them. We have loads of ideas to digest now on how to handle our growing business!

We did spend 1/2 a day at the hotel pool in Orlando before flying back home. That was a small slice of heaven and I have a slight sunburn to prove it! But now we are back home and editing away on all the projects we have!

We are in the process of creating a new videography package that will help those who are looking for a more affordable product while still keeping the Edit 1 Media quality and emotion that we are well-known for. So keep your eyes peeled for that info coming soon!
