1. The "Reflections" DVD/CD package (upper left) is a 54-minute video of a four-hands for piano performance by two Julliard graduates, Ron Morebello and Vera Rathje, that required multiple cameras, sound capturing, animation, extensive editing (Final Cut Pro), label design, package design and production. Mr. Whidden did some videography, but primarily edited the digital video files (working closely with Vera Rathje, one of the pianists), created the animation, produced the title files and designed the printed brochure and label. Currently, a CD is being packaged with the DVD, a factor that has increased sales (the CD is used in cars)
   
   
   
   
   
2. The CCN special promotion was directed to doctors and explained how they could become listed on CCN's huge database so employees of CCN client companies could find them when looking for a primary doctor when signing up. It used Director software to run a short animation ending in a menu that showed doctors how they could sign themselves up for the program using the CCN site.
3. The red button is a two-minute audio clip from the CD shown above; Piano Landscapes: West to East (right half of the image above), featuring the solo piano playing of Vera Rathje, who, at age 11, performed with the Seoul Ochestra in Korea. As a teenager; she was sponsored by and lived and studied with Rosina Lhevinne, then the Director of the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York City. Ms.Rathje has gone on to perform at Carnegie Hall and throughout Europe. The title concept for the CD, art and photography are by Mr. Whidden.

5. The RO Ultra Tec company fabricates water filtration systems. This video was created as a suggestion (hence no voice over because there was no script) for a proposed training video series. The digital video was recorded by an associate, Tom Henderson, and Mr. Whidden edited the video segments and created the music.
