Makin' Magic (Part 1)

Developed by Mark S. Meritt and Ed Budd; Assisted by Rob Gianotti, Rich Hack and Adam Hurst. In 1990, the Masque and Mime Society celebrated its 25th anniversary as the drama club of Roy C. Ketcham High School in Wappingers Falls, NY. A gala celebration was held, including dinne and a nearly 4-hour live retrospective of selected scenes from the organization's past performances. Made for the event and shown at the beginning of the dinner, this documentary motion picture short was produced over several months during the 1989-1990 school year, tracking the entire process of creating the 1990 Spring musical production of 42nd Street. The piece was shot with only a VHS camcorder and edited using two home VCRs and a basic editing deck. The digital video was captured by Allan Meritt in March 2007 and posted by Mark on YouTube on April 23, 2007. Part 1 of 2. More info: http://potluck.com/1990/06/makin-magic/
