We’re addicted to making these Omaha conference videos EVERY YEAR!!! This week long theatre conference, a new play festival, is a yearly highlight! We love the work the Great Plains Theatre Commons is going for the arts’ community throughout the year. They are bringing meaningful stories to the community year round…and…FREE! Hey, that sounds like us! Well, maybe not free, but we always seek to tell the meaningful stories of our clients. Playwrights use words, we use video!
You might think Omaha conference videos might be a tad boring? How can you make a week long conference seem exciting, you ask?! We’re always up for the challenge. We put our documentary style of filmmaking to work, almost observing to find creative ways to tell the story of the week. We use all these tools to visually tell the story: filming interviews, b-roll, steadicam, and even doing some timelapse and maybe some drone.
It is so thrilling to film writers, designers, directors and dramaturgs who come to together and make the GPTC and, its’ new play festival, a powerhouse of creativity that resonances through the country. Yes! From artist from the West and East coasts to everything in between, time and time again we hear how respected this conference is! GPTC uses our videos in a number of different ways. One, to spread the love of theatre making. Two, as a funding raising tool, both with donors and grants, to keep their good work going. We are always so honored to lend our creative talents to further their creative talents!
