Oh Cany Productions | Camp Barton Videos

Synopsis: Camp Barton's Mike Amante demonstrates what he does in an average day as Camp Director. This is a tribute to Mike, on his last day, who retired from Camp Barton after fourteen years of service.

Commentary: Pete volunteered to help out Camp Barton and Mike Amante with this video project, having never really done any real editing or professional video production before. He got more than he bargained for (making this video was really time consuming because he had to teach himself as he went along through the editing process), but in the end it turned out pretty good. In the future, when Pete does more video editing, this experience will serve him well. Will we ever see any more edited Oh Cany Productions? It does go against the philosophy of our production company, but the answer is: probably yes!

Camp Barton Promotional Film
	Essential Information: Date: July 2004 Location: Camp Barton; Trumansburg, NY Script: None. Credits: Billy - Steve Bogart Camp Counselor - Tim Clive Camp Counselor - Mark Fish Narrator / Scoutcraft Director - Jeff Andrews Director / Editor - Peter Berg (And many, many more)
Synopsis: Young Billy is bored during the summer, so over-zealous camp counselors Mark Fish and Tim Clive try to relieve his summertime woes by showing him around Camp Barton. However, Camp Barton doesn't turn out to be quite as good as it's made out to be. Commentary: After Mike's Big Day last year, Camp Barton wanted Pete to come back and make them another video, this time a mock-education film 50's style promotional video. This video (as well as Mike's Big Day) was shown to campers every week throughout the entire 2004 camp season. Basically, camp director Tim Clive and program director Mark Fish walked around with staffer Steve Bogart, improvising scenes at every area of camp (and some places in between), and talking to a whole lot of camp staffers. They thought it would be funny to make Camp Barton look very bad -- dangerous, arduous and creepy -- instead of fun, and it turned out pretty well. There are definitely some funny moments in this 21+ minute video, and its five minutes of deleted scenes and outtakes. Pete also created a minute-long satirical fake Barton commercial, that parodies the cheesy 50's/60's commercials that used to be on TV everday. (This appears near the beginning of the movie and is probably the best part.) Anyway, After shooting nearly two hours of raw footage and spending two straight days editing, this is the result.
