"Brand new technology now allows event videographers worldwide to effectively become their own TV stations, and do it with basically the equipment they already own," Argenas added. "As part of the all-new WEVA LIVE-Eventcasting Series WEVA members will be LIVE-streaming a number of special events starting with tonight’s concert, right up to WEVA EXPO 2009 in September where attendees will learn how all of this is accomplished in ‘behind-the-scenes’ educational sessions -- and most importantly, how to get more business and generate new revenue using LIVE-stream technology and techniques in today's hot new multi-media marketplace." For the Rick Braun Concert at the historic Claremont Resort, WEVA members from across the United States are working together to produce the LIVE-Streamcast, as well as a behind-the-scenes, "Making Of" documentary, and more! Directing LIVE-stream coverage of the concert will be WEVA member Ryan Bodie of Studio 26 who has already amassed quite a list of concert videography including, Jefferson Starship, Brian McKnight, Mindi Abair, Foreigner, and others. Concert shooters will include Studio 26 videographers Erin Bodie and Britton Foster shooting in tandem with videographers Rick Randall and Jameson Randall from Dynasty Video Productions, owned by WEVA member Lisa Randall. "Lisa Randall headed-up the very first WEVA STREAM TEAM in 2001 when WEVA introduced and pioneered streaming video education for event videographers at WEVA EXPO 2001," said WEVA founder and chairman Roy Chapman who is in the role of executive producer for tonight's streamcast and related productions. WEVA members filming, and also producing additional content and programming in conjunction with "Rick Braun Concert at the Claremont" streamcast include Sue Lawson and Bruce Himmelblau of Blue Sky Video Productions, who have achieved industrywide recognition for producing and pioneering the innovative WEVA NEWS MINUTE productions, which began with video coverage from the NAB show floor in 2005. The dynamic duo are creating a special "Making Of" documentary for tonight's streamcast showing the production preparations, and including interviews with Rick Braun, the WEVA Stream Crew, and others working behind the scenes. "All of the WEVA members participating in tonight's streamcast are seasoned videographers. They are working together to bring tonight's live concert to computer screens and mobile devices around the globe. And they will also be providing their experience and on-the-job insights on how it’s done in upcoming WEVA state-of-the-art education presentations to keep WEVA members worldwide on the very cutting-edge of new videography technology and techniques," said John Zale WEVA's Director of Educational Development and producer of tonight's streamcast.
