New York Auto Show

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:17:00 +0000

KCP was at the New York Auto Show for Chrysler's reveal of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. In addition to a Satellite Media Tour in the morning, Paul and Kaci shot and edited a webisode with Ralph Gilles about all of the vehicle's exciting new features.

It's always sunny...

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:25:00 +0000

Actually, it's not really always sunny in Philadelphia. But that didn't stop the GMA and GMA Weekend weather anchors from coming to Philly twice in March.

In the beginning of March, Sam Champion was doing his live weather hits from the Philadelphia Flower Show. In addition to updates on the weather, Sam also did a segment with Jamie Rothstein about flower arranging.

At the end of March, Marysol Castro was at the Philadelphia Zoo for their 150th Anniversary Celebration. Resident Polar Bears, Klondike and Coldilocks, started posing for the cameras at 5am and didn't stop all morning!

An Incredible Reunion

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:03:00 +0000

Eight heartbreaking months after her children had gone missing, Grace Bjarnson received the best news of her life-- her children had been found safe near Lancaster, PA.
The Utah resident flew all alone across the country to pick up her children at the Philadelphia Airport. I had the privilege of being there with a crew for GMA to capture the moment of their reunion. As I walked Grace to where her children were waiting, she clung to me filled with excitement and anxiety, until she finally laid eyes on her children again. I inadvertently made air as a result, but at the time, it was more important to keep holding her hand. This was one of those truly special moments that we in TV have the unique opportunity to share.

Details about their story can be read HERE, where you can also see the final piece that aired on GMA.

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 21:57:00 +0000

Welcome 2009!
As we look forward to the New Year, we've put together a recap of our work throughout 2008. A few examples are below, but CLICK HERE to read about our entire year.

HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE JOBS THAT MADE 2008 GREAT...

JANUARY - DETROIT AUTO SHOW
We provided Production Management and Producer Services at the NAIAS in Detroit for Chrysler. Lou Rhodes, President of the ENVI division, participated in an SMT about the automakers efforts towards developing electric vehicles.

APRIL - "NBA BALLERS: Choose One" LAUNCH
Yes, NBA star Dwight Howard really IS that tall! (He called me 'short stuff'!) We were in Orlando, FL with the Magic superstar, helping him do interviews about the release of the video game and being chosen as the cover athlete.

MAY - PHILLY STYLE MAG RE-LAUNCH
We were on the red carpet for Extra interviewing Jon Bon Jovi. Jon was chosen to be on the cover of the magazine for its re-launch under new ownership. (You can almost see my hand holding the mic!)

Stranger in the Attic

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:44:00 +0000

How would you feel if you found out a stranger had been living in your attic, going through your things when you left the house, stealing your holiday presents? This actually happened to Stacy Ferrance and her family in Wilkes Barre, PA. I saw the scene for myself when I was in the Ferrance home, producing their live interview on Good Morning America.

You can see their segment here

Just in time for the holidays...

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:09:00 +0000

Out in Seattle, we had the chance to help Reggie Fils-Aime talk to various networks about the success his company, Nintendo, is experiencing despite the general economic slump. Thanks in large part to the Wii, Nintendo should do well this holiday season.

Check out Reggie's interview with Alexis Glick from FBN

Turkey Day Parade!

Gobble Gobble Gobble! KCP's DP Paul Hazlett out on Market Street with ABC's Taryn Winter Brill and some Mummers. Once again, Kaci and crew were asked help provide Live Shots for Good Morning America from the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The Debates

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:01:00 +0000

Views from behind the scenes at the Presidential Debates.
Like a traveling caravan, we all traveled from city to city each week to cover the debates. It was great to see so many familiar faces from previous elections in the press compound.

On Tour?

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:50:00 +0000

Well apparently, the RNC went well enough, that now I'm out traveling around for the Presidential Debates as well.
And of course, as long as you are traveling, you might as well squeeze in some webcasts as well.
So in case you are keeping score at home...

Mon 9/22 - Philadelphia to San Francisco
Setup for webcast, dinner in the Mission

Tues 9/23 - San Francisco to Seattle
Event in the morning

There's a few pictures to post when I have some spare minutes.
Send me emails of support - I won't be home for weeks!

RNC in St. Paul, MN

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:18:00 +0000

With 3 crews conducting more than 300 interviews in just 4 days, the RNC was a whirlwind experience. All of the notable members of the Republican Party came through the GOP-TV booth to give updates about the proceedings to constituents back home and people around the country.

From The Archives...

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:41:00 +0000

This photo from the KCP archives seems fitting to post, since I'll be heading out to the Republican National Convention tomorrow.
The photo is from a liveshot I did with Sen. McCain sometime back in 2004 or 2005 I believe.

At the Convention, I will be producing interviews with GOP notables for the RNC from the Xcel Center. I'll post a recap when I get back. Let's hope Hurricane Gustav doesn't ruin the party!

Artblog recognizes KCP!

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:37:00 +0000

We are thrilled to see that the folks at Artblog recently told their readers about the videos we've been producing for Nexus/Foundation for Today's Art.
They even included a mention of us directly, and linked to our website.
I think this may count as the first time we have officially received "press" about our work. Go us!

KCP covers the "Wedding Crashers"

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:41:00 +0000

You may now crash into the bride!

KCP was onsite in Fair Hill, MD covering the wedding of Donald Veasey and Tina Holcombe for Good Morning America. These "Wedding Crashers" got engaged last year at the Cecil County Fair Demolition Derby and decided to make it official at this year's event by saying "I do" and then crashing into each other.

We spent Saturday shooting preparations for the event, the whole ceremony and the groom participating in the derby afterwards. Sunday, we were up early with the happy couple for live interviews on GMA. You can see one of the interviews HERE. Tina and Don were incredibly sweet and everyone at the event was so helpful. They even let us put a POV Cam on the groom's car to capture the crash. It was truly enjoyable to be a part of their special day.

And no, this doesn't mean we are going to start shooting wedding videos now. ;)

Something we've been up to...

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:47:00 +0000

Here's just one of the things we've been up to in the last few months.
KCP traveled to ING HQ in Wilmington, DE for this shoot with
CEO, Arkadi Kuhlmann. We provided production and lighting gear,
crew and management for the video.
The ING Cafe kept us caffeinated all day, & we had a great time on-set.

Check out the final video...

Gentlemen, start your engines

noreply@blogger.com (KCP) — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 01:00:00 +0000

This week started out with me (Kaci) on the floor at the NAIAS in Detroit. I guess you could say I was busy 'till the cows came home since I was on-hand working with Chrysler when they brought a whole herd of steer up a downtown street in Detroit to premiere their new Dodge Ram truck.

I also had the pleasure of doing interviews with Lou Rhodes who is in charge of the company's environmental division. The concept Jeep Renegade in the picture runs solely on battery power.

Admittedly, I don't know a great deal about cars. But even I was impressed with the amazing mix of art and engineering where ever you looked on the show floor!

WHAT a way to spend a birthday!
We visited Arcosante and Jerome on Saturday.
Had an amazing dinner at the Asylum restaurant.
Crashed in Sedona after dark. And woke up to this!
We spent the day hiking and exploring.

Being stuck far away from home for your birthday isn't so bad,
when it's spent together, in this setting, with perfect weather.
