Ferro Productions was in Connecticut last week conducting three enlightening interviews with some of the entertainment industry's most intriguing behind-the-scenes characters. Our production crew consisted of four members; Producer, Lighting Director/Set Designer, and Two Camera Operators. Our core production package included:
JVC ProHD 790 cameras (2)
Lectrosonics UM400 Wireless packs (2)
Tram TR50 Mic's (2)
Shure FP33 three-channel stereo mixer (1)
ARRI Fresnel Lighting Kit (1)
Kino Flo Diva Light Kit (1)
Our first two interviews brought us to Chesire, CT, home of Creative Dimensions. As mentioned on their website, Creative Dimensions is a state-of-the-art facility with dozens of skilled, specialized employees and a national reputation as a top broadcast, exhibit and signage design and manufacturing company. In other words: These guys design and create Broadcast desks and sets for some of the most reputable names in the industry. Ferro's Executive Producer and President, Joe Scacciaferro, had the privilege of sitting down for an interview with both Joel Roy and Bill Violette, the Co-Founders of Creative Dimensions.
Mr. Roy and Mr. Violette discussed their humble beginnings making it into the industry and then moved on to an in-depth look at how Creative Dimensions worked from the ground up and has now elevated itself to one of the most preeminent companies in its field. Along with the in-depth timeline of how the company got started, these two pioneers shared their very unique opinions and methods for success in business. Upon the conclusion of these interviews we toured the awe-inspiring 73,000 Square foot, state-of-the-art facility. Mr. Roy and Mr. Violette took us behind the scenes into the Employees Only Warehouse, where they explained, in full detail, every different aspect of their facility. From the supply stocks, to the work stations, and much more.
After a quick lunch break we traveled to our second location
Ferro's final interview of the day brought us to the Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT. Who would have thought that this small-town-USA theatre in Northwest Connecticut could have brought yet another look of awe on the faces of our crew. We knew that if Mr. John Bonanni was the Executive Director of the theatre that it had to be legit, but we were absolutely blown away by the beauty and high-tech capabilities of the Warner Theatre.
During Mr. Scacciaferro's interview with Mr. Bonanni, we were privy to a look at the life and career of a theatrical legend. They discussed John's childhood in Brooklyn, his introduction to the arts in High School, all the way to his years as a Stage Manager on dozens of Broadway hits, to 12 years with Madison Square Garden Entertainment where Mr. Bonanni was the Production Executive for over ONE THOUSAND concerts and events. Furthermore: Mr. Bonanni shared exclusive backstage stories from his years spent as the Stage Manager then Executive Producer for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and he even concluded the interview with words of wisdom for the future generation of Theatre.
Ferro Productions would like to give a monumental THANKS to everyone at Creative Dimensions and the Warner Theatre for granting our crew access to their facilities and for their upmost hospitality and professionalism.
STAY TUNED for our footage from Connecticut, which will be appearing under the video section on our website within the coming weeks.
