latest segment for WMHT-TV's new arts show, AHA! A House for Arts. The video takes a look at Norman Rockwell Museum (you could say I had a little inside knowledge), utilizing footage I filmed onsite this past summer/fall with the Museum's new Sony HD camera (extra footage will be used for a planned Museum promo video as well).
This production was not without it's challenges, since I was still figuring out how to operate the camera and coordinate it with my editing software... talk about learning on the job! I have to thank the thorough Sony Pro Video tech support, as well as several of my contacts in the video/film business (you know who you are), who helped me troubleshoot until I got it right. The segment airs tonight at 7:30 p.m. on WMHT, and will be rebroadcast this Sunday, November 16, at noon (those outside of the area can watch it online here).
In other Norman Rockwell Museum news, we have just opened a new exhibition on the art of illustrator/historical artist, Mort Künstler, with an opening event planned for this Saturday, November 15 (with artist in attendance). Meanwhile, in Rome, Italy, the Museum's traveling exhibition, American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell has opened at the Fondiazone Arte Musei Roma--this European debut seems fitting, as Rockwell paid several trips to Rome after his youngest son Peter moved to the city.
Peter Rockwell still lives in Rome (where he works as a sculptor), and was able to attend this week's opening at the Fondiazone, along with our Museum Director. A few years back I actually created a video about his own artwork (for NRM's 2009 exhibition, The Fantastical Faces of Peter Rockwell). Sadly, the interview was not conducted in Italy (instead, outside of Boston), however I was quite happy with the results (Peter seemed pleased as well, remarking that "you are really very good at doing videos"). I have to thank my production assistants and a supportive supervisor, who helped me chip away at that one:
