Candlelight Productions

Candlelight Productions Candlelight Productions, LLC retells live events & life moments through artistic multi-cam solutions A few things about our philosophy:

- Life is 3D. is. Art.
(2)

With a humble two-camera beginning at Kassia's bellydance hafla, we've grown into a full-time production company specializing in post-edited and live-streamed multi-camera productions for:

- stage events (dance, musicals, theatre, concerts, etc.)
- life events (weddings, bar mitzvahs, parties, etc.)
- corporate events (presentations, galas, etc)
- promotions (commercials, training & instructional

videos, promo reels, etc.)
- film production (planning, shooting, resource acquisition, post-production, etc.)
- life biographies (living legacies) using existing content (photographs, movies, etc) or a more personal and interactive interviewing approach

Started by founder "Red-Rob" Rothkopf, Candlelight Productions, LLC collaborates with a team of like-minded experts who hold their quality-bar high. Whenever possible, shoot with multiple cameras, otherwise we're retelling events in just 1 dimension
- Sound matters! If it doesn't sound good.. it ain't good
- Collaborate Creatively. Most of our clients are VERY creative.. keep an open mind, work together, and understand what is wanted and needed.
- Play! Stay engaged with the subject matter, and shoot passionately. What you put in, is what you get out, and this will show in the work. HAVE FUN.
- Edit Appropriately. We are storytellers, retelling life, or retelling visions (in the case of original creation). Good editing enhances and makes for a compelling retelling. Bad production will alter the event, and the intent. This is particularly true with theatre and dance productions where preservation of choreography is key, while audiences also want to be entertained, see faces and get in close for technique.
- Trust the crew, and understand each person's strengths

As CP grows its connections, we intend on dispelling all fears about multi-camera productions, whether they be about affordability, suitability, artistic preservation, whatever. And we look forward to the continued journey, meeting and collaborating with more of the AMAZING, Talented, Creative people who keep crossing paths...

because afterall... Life.

While our other cameras get the juicy gorgeous close-up shots, our Wide shot saves the day, that singular moment someone pops their head out of the wings for a quick one-liner nobody saw coming.

Here's a collection from that Wide-Cam full-stage perspective, from a bunch of Musicals we've filmed this season. Big shout-out to scenic and lighting designers!

In August, we were part of a team creating a short film in just 48 hours, as part of Buffalo's 48-hour Film Project. On Fri night, the film won Best Film and 5 More Awards! 👏

We knew it felt special, but this recognition from the judges and Buffalo community is humbling and heartwarming. Next stop: Lisbon's Filmapalooza!

2 years ago, we Live-Streamed a fantastic middle school production of Aladdin Jr, and were so inspired that we setup a wireless Palanquin-cam for when Prince Ali is carried through the audience!

Check it out at 0:30.... was so much fun! Just came across this moment while doing some cleaning and just HAD to share!
