Video Production and Editing Rick Skye

When I wasn’t busy with the

video production and editing

on one of the large Creative Entertainment projects (Nyack to 9th Avenue, The Better & Better Series or Birth of the Music Video) I worked with a few clients who were performing artists. Most were fun and challenging projects. *

Some of my most fun gigs came from multi-MAC award winner Rick Skye. When I met him in 2002 he was looking for a video guy to shoot his show and make a demo. Rick came to meet me and look at some of my work. The first thing he said to me when we met: “I’m not a drag queen. I’m a writer and actor and I ‘do’ Liza Minnelli.”

Over the next several years I shot several of his shows and created three or four demos and we became friends. Rick appears on many pages of my third memoir book Waiting for Elizabeth.

He was constantly improving his Slice O’ Minnelli show. In May of ‘06 he came up with a new project. He was preparing an expanded show for a run in London’s West End and a festival in Edinburgh. Both sites would have large video projection screens. A new feature of his show was that he had two major costume changes that each took several minutes. He needed video to cover them.

You’ll find much more about Rick and many other fun tales of video production and editing when you click here and get Waiting for Elizabeth.
