The First Series

We, at United Modern Arnis, have recently finished the first in a series of professional video productions with the invaluable help of Matt Lamphere. Matt can be found at http://www.defensecraft.com/ or http://www.mattlamphere.com/. Matt brought colleague Bill Bednarick and they made a great team.
It was a long two and a half days and could not have been completed without the dedication and commitment of students Steve Hartono, Chris Bender, Brett Barton, Andrea Ratulowski, Scott Reilly and Dave Williams, and of course, the support of my family who thought the whole process was way cool!
As long as the days were, it was a fun and rewarding experience.
The projects that we completed, or are in the editing phase, included Banda y Banda, Exploring Rompida, Disarms and Variations, and the Eight Empty Hand Anyos of Modern Arnis. The titles are still being worked out as the editing is being finished, and I have to write the credits. The projected date of completion is February 1st. I am very excited to see the finished product!
We have other projects planned and I am looking forward to working with Matt again. He was very organized and professional. There is much to be said for strategic alliances.
