Chuck wanted to create something very special for his wife, Stephanie.  Her 50th Birthday was approaching.  Stephanie had always loved musicals.  So the party was planned as a Broadway Musical to be held at the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia.  We worked with Chuck and the kids to produce a Youvie (our speacial brand of concept video) to open up the show - one she and her guests would not forget.

Don’t forget to view the outtakes.  They are hilarious.

Special thanks to Brian Kappra of Evantine Design for putting the party together.  The room was gorgeous and everything ran flawlessly.

From Chuck:
I can’t thank each of you enough for all of your hard work and dedication to make Stephanie’s party the most magical night ever.  Our friends and families have not stopped raving about the ambiance, food and entertainment.  The video is the talk of the town, and the broadway show was spectacular.  Most important to me was that Stephanie felt the night was the best in her life and she loved every part of it.  Your professionalism was beyond belief and you should be very proud of the impact you have made on so many people.  WOW!!!!  Chuck

From Stephanie:
Dear Dave,
Well, what can I say?  The video was truly a highlight of my life.  The time, effort and love that you and my family put into it was heartwarming.  The story was written so well, along with the original scores that we are all singing!  I have watched this over and over and over again, and can’t wait to watch it again, and so have all of my friends & family.
Your entire team is truly professional and I can feel the passion in their work.  The editing was phenomenal. It came across so well with my family’s personality, you even turned them into actors and actresses.  The outtakes were awesome.  I was so happy to be able to see the process.  How you all pulled this off while I was gone is beyond me!
The entire evening was SPECTACULAR!  Chuck really knew how to shock me!  It was such a beautiful night, and one that will fill me for a lifetime.  It was magical!
Thank you, thank you for everything. You are absolutely the best!  Stephanie
Stephanie

On a recent Media Wave Video Productions shoot, we went to the top of one of the tallest buildings in the city - Two Liberty Place.  The script called for a time-lapse sunrise and sunset.
The elevator only went to the 57th floor.  But there was a 58th floor only accessible by stairs.  The 58th floor housed the large booms that extend out to lower the window washers four times per year.  Four two-car garage doors made of glass open north, south, east, and west to give the booms access.Jordan snapped off a few shots of our view of the sunset, including this great silhouette of Tyler, one of my assistants.  But the sunrise ended up being a one man show.  All I have to prove I was there is this low-res video I made with my phone.Something occurred to me as I watched the sun peek over the horizon like a slow motion nuclear blast; I was probably the first person in Philadelphia to see the sunrise on Friday the 13th, 2007.  Wait - I was standing near an open garage door on the 58th floor all by myself on Friday the 13th?  What was I thinking?!
