Stolen Items!!! Canon T2i taken from Cleveland Marriott Key Center

It's sad but true, at a wedding we were shooting on July 2nd, 2011, someone stole our Canon T2i and Glidecam HD 4000.  It was taken from the Grand Ballroom at the Marriott Key Center in downtown Cleveland. 

It was customized for our business and has some very tell-tale markings.  First of all, there was no lens cap for the 18-55 kit lens.  Whomever stole it did not get the battery charger, book, or any accessories.  There was a battery grip attached to the camera containing two batteries. Each battery has the word MOONSTRUCK and a letter/number combination "T2, T3, etc" written on it.

There is a metal frame glued around the LCD screen, this frame is for a special magnetic, aftermarket viewfinder.  The theif did not get the viewfinder.

There are over 3000 actuations on the shutter.  If you take a picture or movie, the numbers will be in the high 3000's or more.

The memory card was an ADATA 32GB SD card with light amounts of pink nail polish on the outer edge and the card was full of footage from the wedding we were shooting.

 The glidecam HD 4000 only has two balance plates and is well used.  There is a Manfrotto 577 camera plate assembly on it and their is a screw missing from the camera plate on the glidecam.

If anyone happens to find any of the items that were taken, please contact us!  We are most concerned with the footage on the SD card as it contained all the footage from the reception for the bride and groom.

The New Year

What an amazing year 2010 turned out to be! We had the privilege of creating custom wedding films for 25 wonderful couples. We continued to supply STACK Media with custom video production including the Gatorade Performance Series. Moonstruck Live allowed STACK to broadcast live from Tampa Bay Florida, D.C. and Nashville. We helped Clark Graphics create a 5-part video series for TRI-C that was distributed to every school in the Cleveland school district to help get kids interested in math, science and reading. We helped Inspirational Media with web design, marketing and promotional video production to help them promote their world peace campaigns including the "Mission Improve" program and the "Santa Cause".

And 2011 is looking to be even brighter. We are proud to announce a new daughter company, "Blu-Booth". Blu-booth is a custom designed hybrid video booth and photo booth. Perfect for weddings, bar/bat mitzvah's, family events, birthday parties, corporate events and more!

We are also adding to our arsenal of cinematic equipment to enhance the production value of our wedding films as we continuously evolve our style of wedding cinema in the Cleveland and Northeast Ohio areas!

We also have a few special production projects planned for late summer 2011, so keep us on your facebook page and watch our blog for the latest news.

That's about it from team Moonstruck. We hope you had a great 2010 as well, and we wish all of our friends and colleagues a wonderful 2011!

Moonstruck Productions presents Rinula and George

During any pre-production meeting, I always ask my brides if they are planning on anything out of the ordinary that I should be aware of. Rinula smiled and replied, "With George and our families, be ready for anything." And was she ever right. There were many impromptu moments of fun and laughter as well as a true passion for life shared among all of the members of their families.

One of my favorite moments was when the heat in the church caused the priest to gently wipe the sweat off of George's forehead, or when Rinula chased George around the reception hall with a rolling pin before dragging him in by his pant leg!

Besides a wonderful family to share the day with, we were also blessed to be shooting with one of Cleveland's best photographers, Rich Pappas.

The wedding and reception were held at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on W. 14th st in Cleveland with 450 guests attending.

It was truly a wonderful day and here is the highlight film to prove it. Congratulations Rinula and George!

Moonstruck Productions presents Chris and Kristie

I believe the secret to a long and happy marriage is laughter. In fact, I think it is the key ingrediant to life itself. And judging by how much fun these two have together, I would guess they are in for a very long and happy life as husband and wife. Chris and Kristie always had a smile on their face and truly enjoyed each others company. I especially loved their interaction together when I handed them my Super 8mm camera and let them shoot each other. Check it out in their highlight film below!

Moonstruck Productions presents Sarah and Scott

Sarah and Scott were married at the always beautiful Club Hillbrook. The day was calling for rain and wouldn't you know it, Sarah and Scott had planned an outdoor wedding. But as God would have it, the ceremony went on without a problem even as dark clouds rolled in overhead. And then, literally 5 seconds after being announced "Husband and Wife", the rain came down. All of the guests were given umbrellas and Sarah and Scott made it safe and dry inside. Fifteen minutes later the rain stopped and the guests enjoyed a wonderful evening outside on the patio. It was almost as if God himself decided to stop by and offer his blessings. Here are the highlights from Sarah and Scott's wedding...

Moonstruck Productions presents Rosie and Lance

Rosie's cousins performed a special song for her and Lance at the reception. It was a beautiful performance and it goes well with the highlights from the day...

Moonstruck Productions presents Tye and Eileen's Wedding Highlight Film

Tye and Eileen had a perfect day for a wedding and an all-star cast of wedding professionals working with them. Moonstruck Productions started the day at St. Patrick's church in Ohio City, one of our favorite historic churches in the Cleveland area. We hit the town for pictures with Tom Forrest and ended up at the Old Courthouse.

George Skourtis of Studio Z Floral Design was the mastermind behind the flowers, centerpieces and lighting. I've shot a million weddings at the courthouse, but this was the first time I had seen anyone do such an amazing job with uplighting and table settings. Brenda Kucinski at Catan Fashions helped transform the room from old to extraordinary and kept things running smoothly all day long. A Taste of Excellence provided the catering and David Palmer from Network Sound hooked up the audio and spot lights for the intro's and dances and Bill Bowen from Jerry Bruno played the tunes for the night.

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, especially Tye and Eileen. A happy day for a very happy couple. Congratulations Tye and Eileen!
