Susan Herndon & The Bella Counsel Art Moves Performance

In collaboration with 84 Hospitality and the Oklahoma City Arts Council, I recorded a live-performance of Susan Herndon & The Bella Counsel inside Empire Slice House in Oklahoma City’s Plaza District for Art Moves. Art Moves is an Arts Council OKC initiative that provides free arts events in downtown OKC each workday from Noon-1:00, however, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the format has changed to streaming to promote social distancing and to let people stay inside.

Chase and Emily McCumber Art Moves Show

In collaboration with Humankind Hospitality and the Oklahoma City Arts Council, I recorded a live-performance of Chase and Emily McCumber outside Picasso Cafe in Oklahoma City for Art Moves. Art Moves is an Arts Council OKC initiative that provides free arts events in downtown OKC each workday from Noon-1:00, however, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the format has changed to streaming for social distancing.

Embedded above is the edited version, which has some fancier angle changes, audio/color balancing, different lower-thirds, and other minor improvements.

I’ll be recording the live shows when my schedule allows me to help. Enjoy the first performance!

Oklahoma Pies Vol. 1

In this first installment showcasing Oklahoma Pies, I visited five places in the Oklahoma City area. This episode hears from owners of chefs from Caeli’s Sweets, Eats & Bar, Heifers & Hens, Ingrid’s Kitchen, Pie Junkie, and Whole Latte Pie about the pies they offer.

For this episode, I let the owners/bakers talk about themselves and their pies. I filmed at least two takes and took the best parts for their segment. With this being a montage video, I spent about an hour at each place and most of Monday editing it all together. I love how well it turned out and how each segment stood out on their own.

If this episode does well, I got more to feature in a future installment.

Thank you to my supporters on Patreon for helping to make Uncovering Oklahoma possible! Supporters get awesome rewards, like early access to my episodes. Big thanks to superstar supporters: Lynn and Steve Keller-Kenton Family and Revolve Productions.

I got to have some fun on the edit with this story, giving a unique flair for the episode. I hope you all enjoy it and get to check them out if you’re into craft beer. I’m working on a pie episode for next week and I’ve filmed four pie places so far, with one more scheduled for Saturday. I’m also doing some interviews in Norman with Yellow Dog Coffee and Sergio’s. Client work has been keeping me busy hence last week’s event recap videos. I do hope to share the stuff I’ve been working with Oklahoma Contemporary with you soon. The new building and upcoming opening exhibition are amazing. 

Recaps of Glitter Ball and Will & Wiley

While I’ve been busy with client projects and miscellaneous matters, I haven’t been able to release proper episodes for Uncovering Oklahoma this week, however, I have two event recaps.

First up, sponsored by deadCenter Film Festival, is the recap of Glitter Ball 2020 at Factory Obscura. As Oklahoma’s largest film festival, deadCenter is the best place to see exciting new short films, insightful documentaries, hilarious comedies, scary monster movies, and the best independent films from around the world and all over Oklahoma. Get your festival passes at https://www.deadcenterfilm.org

On Wednesday, my wife and I went to the Tower Theatre for the Will & Wiley preview event. Crafted and canned by COOP Ale Works, Will & Wiley is the first hard seltzer distributed by an Oklahoma craft brewery. The seltzer has four natural fruit flavors and will be available in select retailers throughout Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Arkansas beginning March 2020.

Be sure to visit the Uncovering Oklahoma website has I updated its look earlier this week. I reached out to about ten places in Oklahoma City with pies for a pie-themed episode I’m filming next week. Going to be a whole lot of pies. I also got two other interviews scheduled as well, so stay tuned!
