Kramer vs Kramer vs Technical Difficulties... thanks soooo much!

My first round of thanks will be to the members of the K scene that was actually aired.  As you may have read, the Kramers were at it once before but there were so many technical issues that we were unable to use that footage.  This was not due to any one person but rather the unplanned walk ons and factors that seemed conspired against us.  With that said, round two of shooting produced the scene that you have been viewing on youtube and some very sincere thanks go out to the following:

Cinematography, cuts and color were provided by a new company called Rare Form Digital.  The owners are Matt Contorno and Brian Zaczek.  Not only did they do a fabulous job but they also came in at the last moment and brought it all together for me.  Visit their site at rareformdigital.com and hire them!  They are ready to work.  Matt and Brian not only do their own productions but are willing to help out with yours and work with other crews!

Ted Kramer was played by Paul Floriano.  I've known Paul for years and have worked together with him since my early days of MCing at Sea World of Ohio.  He's a tremendous voice talent and can been seen gracing the stage at many professional theaters in Cleveland.  To hire Paul, email him at paulflorianoproductions@yahoo.com and visit his site at florianoproductions.com

Technical Support was is and always will be by Terri Negron.  She can be your support system too.  Beware, you will feel like you're her only client and she will always be thinking about your product and the promotion of it.  If you're ready to take your website, or branding to the next level contact her at terri@fengshui5.com

Location was The Carlyle.  Their website is www.carlyleonthelake.com/  The people at the Carlyle were accommodating and so inviting. I truly appreciate their flexibility and assistance to A to Z and what a truly beautiful location.  It's a must see.

Dawn Lafferty was my Location Manager for this scene.  She was responsible for getting the Carlyle and is an actress/ model.  Dawn wasn't feeling well and as I will pulling it all together she came to my rescue.  Her great relationship with The Carlyle is what got us all in to this beautiful location.  She can be contacted at mbstv@yahoo.com

For the first round of Kramer fighting, very special thanks go out so many but especially these people:

Eric Swinderman and his partner for getting me the FIRST location.  He is the Executive Director of C.I.N.E.M.A., The Cleveland Independent Network of Entertaining Movie Makers and Artists.  To contact Eric email ericswinderman@yahoo.com

Vic Gideon who endured the shoot from hell, pardon my honesty, and has agreed to instead be in She Devil, later in the A to Z season.  Vic was an absolute doll that day and was so helpful in making the best out of a rough situation.  He can be heard on air in the mornings as he is often featured on WDOK and around town.  Friend him on facebook or contact him for work at vicgideon@gmail.com

The Superior Building is also a beautiful location and was visually wonderful for the K scene.  They are a thriving business with offices all throughout.  I appreciate them all working to help us shoot.  They couldn't control the stragglers but they were very sweet to turn off the lobby music and truly attempt to work around us. Be sure to stop in if you're downtown!

Devon Collins shot and began the edit for the first attempt at the K scene.  While he could have worked some major magic and made the scene viewable, it would have been an overload and I wasn't happy enough with my performance to ask him to take up THAT much time!
