Audio-Video expertise

Æsthmetrics has, on staff, an able video director, script writer, videographer, video editor and offices with a well-equipped photo/video/audio studio. The same goes for our graphics and digital editing and production capabilities. We can produce multimedia promotions and related collateral materials, labels, informative and visually active CD and DVD covers and booklets.

The projects you see above represent a few samples of Æsthmetric's commercial work. They are more completely described below. Also, we work at the personal level. In fact, a number of our projects are currently running on YouTube that were created for individuals who had personal projects they aspired to complete. Similarly, we have edited videos of weddings (the video segments were provided by individuals and we edited them together and added titles and some music).

Other projects are shown in the interactive area on the left and below:

1. The "Reflections" DVD/CD package (upper left in the image above and also seen in the interactive section to the left of this text) is a 54-minute video of a four-hands for piano performance by two Julliard graduates, Ron Morebello and Vera Rathje, that required multiple cameras, sound capturing, animation, extensive editing (Final Cut Pro), label design, package design and production. Our director did some of the videography, but primarily edited the digital video files (working closely with Vera Rathje, one of the pianists), created the opening animation, produced the title files and designed the printed brochure and label. Currently, a CD is being packaged with the DVD, a factor that has increased sales (typically, the CD is being used while driving)
   
   
2. The digital video bleow is from the first four minutes of the "Reflections" DVD.
   
   
   
   
3. The CCN special promotion on the left was directed to doctors and explained how they could become listed on CCN's huge database so employees of CCN client companies could find them when looking for a primary doctor when signing up. It used Director software to run a short animation ending in a menu that showed doctors how they could sign themselves up for the program using the CCN web site.
   
   
4. The red button is a two-minute audio clip from the CD shown in the image at the top of his page; Piano Landscapes: West to East (in the right half of the image), featuring the solo piano playing of Vera Rathje, who, at age 11, performed with the Seoul Ochestra in Korea. As a teenager; she was sponsored by and lived and studied with Rosina Lhevinne, then the Director of the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York City. Ms.Rathje has gone on to perform at Carnegie Hall and throughout Europe. The title concept for the CD, art and photography created and produced by Æsthmetrics.
   
   
   
   
5. The CCN corporate concept video/spinning logo below were created to be shown before sales meetings with the spinning logo to be at the end. The original was in a video tape medium and recaptured to make the digital video. It's quality for it's original use was excellent, but even with the loss of detail with this rerecording and compression for website use, we believe the conceptual spirit seen in this video still comes through well. Also the CCN video below, along with the video below it, feature digital music created by our creative director. He also directed this animation and recorded the V.O. announcer. A series of related illustrations used in a corporate brochure also appear on the "Illustrative" Gallery page.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. The RO Ultra Tec company fabricates water filtration systems. This video was created as a suggestion (hence no voice over because there was no script) for a proposed training video series. The digital video was recorded by an associate, Tom Henderson, and our staff edited the video segments and created the music.
