Potomac Valley ProductionsI recently made a video about my kids’ preschool – Whole Kids Academy. I’m a big softie and really love and appreciate all the school has done for my children. I wanted to highlight the school’s warmth and tenderness and share what a blessing it has been for my family. I snuck in a few shots of my children and will treasure the experience and care we received at Whole Kids forever.

We took extra care in the casting and you can see that in the warmth of the personalities here.

2020 was a strange year for video production. One silver lining was a heightened interest in remote recording. With several clients seeking that option, we licensed high-end software and created a small production package that can record remote interviews via smartphone. The picture quality turned out to be impressive. Check out the following video we made using this software during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
