I've spent some time this week creating a video where I talk about the process I went through to edit together my ORF 2025 video. This evening, I worked to put together a shorter text-based version of the post. If you would like to watch the video or read the post, you can do so here:

A behind-the-scenes look at the editorial process for my ORF 2025 video. I recorded a video that breaks down various aspects of the video and I created a shorter text-based version of it.

The 2025 season has officially come to a close and a new year has been ushered in! I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the amazing staff, workers, performers, vendors, and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to put together such an amazing event. Everyone is looking forward to what 2026 will hold!

Over the last few months, I have been working towards putting together a video that captures just a small slice of the magic that goes on around the festival. It would mean a lot to me if you were able to take a few moments out of your day and watch the full video over on my YouTube channel. There's so much more I wanted to include and I wish the video could be 5 hours long but then it would never be finished. I can't wait for another season to begin! Thank you!

I've been thinking for a while about creating a short origins video for my website and YouTube home page. A few months ago, I put together a really nice demo reel from the 2024-2025 season and I really wanted to publish it on my main channel but I felt like it was 'unfinished'. To help push me to create more unique content, I set out to create a video that was a little different than my normal videos. I wanted to talk through some of the things that inspired me to make my ORF 2024 video and give some context behind my demo reel. Hopefully you enjoy watching.

I just wanted to give a huge thanks to all of the amazing people I've met along the way, many of whom are featured in this video!

Wow, what an opening weekend at the Ohio Renaissance Festival! The nice weather, the big crowds, it was one of the best ones yet!

We loved seeing everyone at our shows and in the lanes. So many people yelled "Yay Susan" that Susan lost track.

We hope you join us again this weekend for Fantasy weekend. The weather looks even nicer than this week!
