MADISON, WI–March 23, 2009—EventDV magazine has unveiled the 2008 EventDV 25, and David Robin of the Encino CA, based david robin | films, was named to the list as one of the 25 hottest and most influential videographers in the world. The honorees were announced in a three-part awards show presented last week on EventDV’s online video channel, EventDV-TV, in a presentation viewed more than 4,000 times in a three-day span.

“As the event video industry’s one and only all-star team, the EventDV 25 gives us the opportunity to recognize those videographers who are wielding the most influence today, through their innovative work, educational efforts, and outreach to other videographers around the world,” said EventDV Editor-in-Chief Stephen Nathans-Kelly. “To make sure we recognize the right people, we turn the selection process entirely over to the ‘fans,’ and let our readers pick the team. Over the six-week online voting process, readers cast more than 2,000 votes, and our all-star team emerged. This year’s team reflects the increasingly international flavor of the business, with representatives from six countries and four continents.” David Robin is the only Los Angeles County videographer on this year’s list.

In addition to voting for their selections, readers had the opportunity to supply a brief description of their chosen candidate’s merits. Of David Robin, one voter wrote, “Still the video industry’s pioneer triple threat, David knows how to make great videos!”

EventDV, the Authority for Event Videographers, is published monthly by Information Today, Inc. and read by over 23,000 event videographers and independent video producers around the world. For more information on EventDV, visit www.eventdv.net. To view the 2008 EventDV 25 awards presentation online, visit www.eventdv-tv.com.

I am so honored and humbled to tell you that I was included in the list. This is the fourth year in a row that this has happened for me. I feel so blessed to be accepted by my peers (who voted). Congratulations to the other 24 amazing filmmakers who made the list.

Why, you ask?

Finally a tapeless video camera that shoots full frame HD, with the advantage of 35mm lenses, and shallow depth of field.

The creativity is endless…

At work with the 5D MkII (w/15mm fisheye lens) on a Steadicam.

I was brought in as creative consultant for Team B, and my responsibilities included brainstorming ideas, as well as, shooting and editing the original short film. Ultimately, the viewing audience will determine the winner, which will be announced at WPPI 2009.

TEAM B (My Team)

TEAM A

Is it me, or is Team B having SO MUCH MORE FUN!!!!!!

Published quarterly, Wedding & Event Videography Resource Guide also includes links to related video in the Members-Only section of the WEVA website. “It’s WEVA members who are leading this industry worldwide and sharing their experience,” said Dan Argenas WEVA’s Director of Association Communications. “Each edition of Wedding & Event Videography Resource Guide reveals what they’re doing, how they’re doing it, and more.”

The photographers were divided into two teams. Each team were given 24 hours to write, shoot, and edit an original short film related to photography. I came on board as creative consultant for one team (Team B) and “field reporter,” reporting to the reality TV cameras my opinions of how the team was doing. I also shot, and edited the piece. It was exhausting (i was working for 30 hours straight) but we had a blast!
My good buddy Loyd Calomay did the same for Team A (the definitely weaker team ).
