BERGENFEST 2009

Begernfest is an amazing event. I had the pleasure of being invited to this event last year by my friends at Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Merchants from all over Northern New Jersey. Award winning restaurants, Salons, Spas, Cafes, Bakeries and even a fashion show. This was not only a wonderful place to taste some great food and wine, it was also a place to network with other business owners and individual residents of New Jersey. This year Quintano Media will be the Videographer and Photographer of the event and will also have a presentation table as well. So come to the The Estate of Florentine Gardens 97 Rivervale Rd., Rivervale, NJ. The event is sponsored by Bergen Health & Life Magazine .

Big Apple BBQ Block Party New York City 2009

Big Bob Gibson Barbecue at the Big Apple BBQ Block Party New York City 2009 from Anthony Quintano on Vimeo.

Today I attended the Big Apple Block Party New York City at Madison Square Park the food was delicious especially from Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q the Sauce and the pork are just amazing. This event is fun if you love BBQ. I always make sure to get a fast pass every year because the regular lines are usually more than an hour long per stand and is not worth the wait. I will be posting a short video of the event today with an introduction to Chris Lilly with Big Bob Gibsons.

Las Vegas Day 3

Kim and I headed over to the Bellagio for brunch.. waited about an  hour and a half before eating. It was delicious food but I would not wait in line that long for it again. we then headed into the gardens to see it during the day.

After the Bellagio kim and I went to the luxor and saw the titanic exhibit which was actually pretty moving they had this huge piece of the actual side of the ship hanging for display. The exhibit will be there for the next 10 years I would definitely check it out if you haven’t already.

We then went to the other end of the strip to the wynn which was modern, classy and very new. they had some great mojitos in there lake view lounge area to the right of the reception desks. They have a light show which they put on in that lake area at night starting at 8pm they werent that impressive but you do get a different show every hour.

We also caught the shows in front of treasure island and mirage. We werent very pleased with how treasure island has updated thier hotel. the show has basically turned into a strip show and has nothing to do with pirates anymore. They have taken down the skull and bones and replaced their sign with “TI” which isnt all that impressive. Enjoy some of our photos.

This was a few firsts for me. This is my first time properly exporting my footage from the EX1 and canon 5d mark II. this video includes shots using both camera’s. Both cameras that I will be using to film weddings from this point forward. I also used After effects for the first time since my certification course.  I have to thank Danielle and Jake for inviting me along to this event. Kim and I had a blast tasting all the great food from award winning restaraunts in Northern NJ. I really wanted to put the camera to the test and we got some great footage of these awesome bakers doing their thing. The cupcakes were a hit that evening. If you have yet to try these cupcakes you must visit Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford, NJ.

My Tailgating video with Sal and Carmine

I have to say that im so upset that I have not discovered these guys when I was younger cause this tailgating really makes the game so much better. Hanging out with these guys is like one huge family. They welcome everyone in, anyone who wants to come eat you can just drop by the end of the road that leads to gate D you cant miss them. You can see where we are located via the first clip of my video.
