Keyhole Commercial

NKtelco Keyhole Commercial...

Keyhole Commercial on NKtelco from Melanie Mescher on Vimeo.

      After my documentary NKtelco a local cable company took my footage and created a commercial. Isaac Sell did the editing of my footage and filmed the new footage of Keyhole Bob talking about coming to the Keyhole. Daryl Lawson and his band did the music in the background.

     I want to apologize for the skewing of the video, I think it has something to do with the file I was sent by NKtelco. So enjoy.

Keyhole Documentary

Second Final Finished...

       Hopefully it is smooth sailing from here. I only have about 6 more things to do before I can officially say my finals are over and begin a well deserved break from school. Also this will be the last project I do about the bar for AWHILE! I do not know what it was about this semester, but I did a lot of projects on the bar.

Keyhole Pizza Documentary from Melanie Mescher on Vimeo.

A short documentary on a small town bar, Keyhole Pizza which is located at 6621 St. Rt. 66, Fort Loramie, OH 45845. Keyhole was opened 30 years ago, by owners Bob and Azile Mescher. The bar is locally famous for their pizza, and has made pizza for about 27 years. The Keyhole is a great place to relax have pizza, be with friends, and have a beer or a few. 

        Overall, I am pretty happy with the results of this video. I wish I could reshoot some of the scenes, but I only had a small window of opportunity to shoot. Some of the audio for the interviews are a little spotty, and I wish more people would of allowed me to film them. So I hope you enjoy this insight into the Keyhole.

Keyhole Documentary

Some random shots from filming...

      For my Video 1 class final we have to do a documentary on anything we wanted to. I decided since I know so much about the Keyhole that is what I would do my documentary on. All weekend I filmed at the bar, and decided to post some Karaoke fun as a preview. I have clips from 3 different performers, so I hope you enjoy them.

I apologize for the poor quality of video.

Music Video Teaser

Coming to a blog near you...

    Alright, I am currently editing a music video for the song: "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" by Fall Out Boy. We took a whole day of filming, and I need to get all the edits done by Wednesday. Today, I got really into the editing, and it looks pretty sweet if I do say so myself. It helps when you have great actors: Brianna Parrish, Kevin Harkness, and Melissa Freeman, THANK YOU!

Video Self Portrait

It's a Bar kind of Life...

It's a Bar kind of Life from Melanie Mescher on Vimeo.

      For my Video 1 class we had to do a video self portrait, and after much debate I decided on doing a short self documentary on growing up at a bar. I think I'm going to reshoot for this, and get more of me talking to different people at the bar, and maybe some better POV shots as well. 

     I'm really happy on how this turned out though, and now that I have the first version finished I think the second will be even better.
