8.1.08 (Current)CURRENT: Anne d'Harnoncourt 1943-2008: Kraley Productions had the humble honor of assisting in the final editing of footage for the "white dove release" filmed during "A Day of Appreciation: June 19, 2008" which was accompanied by The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia performing "Fanfare for the Common Man (Aaron Copland)". Anne d'Harnoncourt was a profound woman of integrity and vision, and she also was the director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art until her passing this year. The public was invited to gather on the Museum’s East Terrace for a tribute and was filmed by other sources. Kraley Productions was very honored and moved to assist in the re-compilation and texture-editing of the existing footage for the DVD and online streaming of that day. Again, our assistance was limited to ONLY the visual overlays and editing of existing pre-recorded footage of the final "musical white dove release portion" of the Memorial lasting a duration of approximately 3 minutes. You may view the entire archive of the memorial online at: www.philamuseum.org.7.15.08 (Current Projects)CURRENTLY: Kraley Productions has been working with DVD production for Theatre Nohgaku (www.theatrenohgaku.org) for Pine Barrens, Video Design and DVD archival for Suburban Love Songs (Karen Getz and 1812 Productions - www.1812productions.org).2.25.08 (Technical Updates)CURRENTLY: Any direct reference to www.kraleyproductions.com will be directed through a main gateway page at this time.

Thank you for your patience! 9.21.07 (Successful Film Debut)![]() FILM ID: CR-V10 The last night of the 2007 Live Arts/Philly Fringe Festival's Late Night Cabaret (September 15, 2007) projected the premiere of the second annual top secret film Kraley Productions was graciously asked to create in front of the second largest audience ever for a Kraley Productions film. Directed and edited by Jason Kraley, this year the film took on a "mockumentary" version of NBC's (and BBC's) show entitled "The Office". The video is set in the new (and newly high-tech) Live Arts Box Office in Philadelphia. Starring Komal Kapoor, Amanda Grove, Lori Aghazarian, Becca Bernstein, Dom Chacon, Maya Choldin, Mike Dees, Jared Delaney, Jen Dillon, Karen DiLossi, Amanda Ditsky, Casey Gallagher, Tom Shotkin, Kate Tejada, and Jay Wahl, this film was shot in 7 hours and edited over the course of 5 exhaustive days. The ensemble of staff workers, actors and actresses, 2 cameras, 2 wireless microphones, and great improvisational action based on simple ideas written int he course of the previous week made this piece come alive and had the crowd unexpectedly laughing throughout a rather lengthy "spoken word" piece. This piece was musically saved by Toshio Mana and Gooding and edited on Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD. Much thanks to Stephen Keever (Executive Producer and Second Camera Operator/Super-Hero) and Maya Choldin (my first officially degreed Assistant Director). The piece runs 14 minutes, plus an additional 4 for credits offering a special bonus of "outtakes" and memorable clips during the "on set" shoot, filmed and edited between September 9-15. This DVD will be ready for online purchase in the next week. 6.29.07 (Designed CD Release)![]() Kraley Productions has had the wonderful honor and pleasure of designing the new CD by Phil Barker (original member of the Ohio band "Flat Bush") entitled "Take Me To Your Leader". The CD features a guest appearance by Still Inertia and is a solely instrumental album. The cost of this CD is $14 (including shipping and handling). How can you get this great, new album? Well here's how: Contact us via email and we will produce a link for you to order your copy via PayPal (which accepts all major credit cards as well). 4.21.07 (Successful Event)Thank you to all those who made it out to see the first public showing of Still Inertia's "Closer To Me" video at Joe's Coffee in Philadelphia. For those of you who inquired about the new album by Still Inertia, feel free to visit www.stillinertia.com for continual updates. Thank you very much to Joe's Coffee.4.15.07 (Successful Event)![]() Kraley Productions is VERY PROUD to report a very succesful event exhibiting Jason Kraley's first video art installation, entitled "Perceptions" for one night only on April 13. Thank you to EVERYONE who showed up and saw The Bike Stop of Philadelphia transformed into something never thought possible. Mega thanks to Michael Casey and The Liberty Bears of Philadelphia for having faith in the work produced by Kraley Productions. "Perceptions" was a one night only multi-media fusion of Video Art & Photography by Jason Kraley, Environmental Lighting by Jason Coffman, Projection by Stephen Keever, Music by DJ Mike Trombley and Food by Village Coffee. It was established to celebrate and explore your "Perceptions" while embracing all lifestyles. This piece's ID is CR-V9 in the videographic catalog of films produced by Kraley Productions. It is now in the process of having ambient atmospheric sound and music by Still Inertia added to the piece for release to galleries interested in showing this as a video installation/exhibit, and will eventually have a proper intro and ending credits for release to the public for private purchase in 2008. 3.2.07 (Update)Aside from the December 2006 release of a private DVD (ID#: CR-V8) entitled, "Tempus Fugit", Kraley Productions is currently working on an upcoming video for a new song for Still Inertia as well as a visual exhibition in April, in Philadelphia, PA, showcasing hopefully the boldest exploration of visual art in 2 years by Jason Kraley.10.17.06 (Official Release)"The Bootlickers Live 2006" was filmed using three cameras to capture a live performance of The Bootlickers on location at The Bikestop bar during the "Bears On Liberty Weekend 2006". If you were at the film debut (August 25-26, 2006), you had the opportunity to have these numbered editions signed by the band. These are the remaining limited numbered editions of the DVDs sold on the "Open Your Eyes" Film Debut Event (without their signatures, since each dvd was personalized during the event per customer). Regardless, this DVD is a great way to re-live the night, perhaps with less of a hangover for those that arrived a little late that night. Features John McNeill, June Bromley, Toshio Mana, Daniel Cartier, Jeremy Burton, Stacey Franklin, Dawn Marie, and Venice Cub. Main feature runs 90 minutes. Special DVD Extras include 2 fully edited and color corrected live performances of "Once More, With Feeling" and "Love Comes Back". And there is a little extra feature simply entitled "Naughty Bits".AVAILABLE ON DVD: (More details...) 10.7.06 (Official Release)![]() October 7, 2006 was the official release date of the second music video ever for Still Inertia. It is an exclusively first new music video for a song called "Closer To Me" which is promoting the forthcoming third album entitled "Invested." Using footage spanning over 2 years in Cleveland, Ohio, the final lyrical pieces were shot in a day in Philadelphia, PA. Massive amounts of footage taken in Philadelphia were crunched down during pre-production to workable time-elapsed footage. This video explores the rather ever-changing emotional and mental health of someone who needs to get closer toward their own "within" before they are too far gone... It also demonstrates the continually evolving exploration of the creative boundaries of Still Inertia from its recent years. This signed DVD single features the full quality version (29.97 frames per second) as opposed to the 15 fps smaller and compressed version in QuickTime format for viewing across the Internet. Fully edited on Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD and finalized with complete menu design and integration on DVD Studio Pro 3. Total editing time: 3 weeks. AVAILABLE ON DVD: (More details...) AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ONLINE: (QuickTime, 19.1Mb) 10.6.06 (New Menu Option)The Goods is now the official online store for any multimedia for sale. Check it out in the next few weeks. The Bootlickers and a special surprise from Still Inertia are about to be released across the country.9.17.06 (Successful Event)![]() Well the secret is out. The last night of the 2006 Philly Fringe Live Arts Late Night Cabaret (September 16, 2006) debuted the top secret film Kraley Products was asked to create in front of the largest audience ever for a Kraley Productions film debut. Directed and produced by Jason Kraley, the film was a mixture of sharing the daily life of a volunteer at the ticket selling Box Office during the Philly Fringe Festivals, saying goodbye to the head supervisor of 10 years (Lori Aghazarian) and turning her into the daydreaming star equivalent to the relative idea of the movie Flashdance, back in 1983. The video is set to Irene Cara's song "Flashdance...What A Feeling" and the film was shot and edited over the course of 7 days. The ensemble of staff workers, actors and actresses, and 2 choreographers made this piece come alive and had the crowd laughing and screaming all the way through. This piece was shot with one camera with massive tripod movement and edited on Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD. The video stars way too many people to list here, however the credits offer a special bonus of "outtakes" and memorable clips during the "on set" shoot. Film runs just under 8 minutes and was filmed between September 7-11, 2006. 9.5.06 (Prep Time)Kraley Productions has been asked by the Box Office Staff of the Live Arts division of the Fringe Festival this year in Philadelphia to work on a secret filming project for the Box Office staff... and will be projected September 16th after 11pm. DJ Spooky will be DJ'ing there as well. It's all free (except for the slightly expensive beer).. so come down to the Philly Fringe Cabaret and enjoy Kraley Productions' largest single viewed showing event!9.1.06 (Projection Appearance)A 4-minute video projection was created for the background of a scene in "Suburban Love Songs" a delightful non-verbal presentation of a dinner party in 1968. This show runs through the 4th and is part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. That video collage will be compressed and made available to view in the Film/Video section later this month. Go see the show!!8.27.06 (Successful Event)Thank you to all those who attended the "Open Your Eyes" event. It truly was a good time had by all and I not only thank you who came to support the event, but all thank you to Stephen Keever for all his technical assistance, Sal & Robby (my official event staff), Donna (who bartended and served food at the same time), The Bootlickers (of course), Gooding (of course), Sal's On 12th (great space, wonderful atmosphere), and The Liberty Bears of Philadelphia (who surprised me with some great gifts of appreciation - that really was the best unexpected surprise of the night!)

The film was shot in the historical West Side Market in Ohio City, Cleveland, Ohio. This market is over 100 years old and Jason was fortunate enough to explore and film the entire place during closed hours. This film was shot with a single camera and edited on Adobe Premiere 6.5. Video features Julia Rodewald and is Kraley Productions first fully produced work for another person. ![]() "The Bootlickers Live 2006" was filmed using three cameras to capture a live performance of The Bootlickers with special guest Daniel Cartier on location at The Bikestop bar during the "Bears On Liberty Weekend 2006". There will be a limited number of special autographed editions of the DVD for sale each night from The Bootlickers. It's a great way to re-live the night, perhaps with less of a hangover for those that arrived a little late that night. Features John McNeill, June Bromley, Toshio Mana, Daniel Cartier, Jeremy Burton, Stacey Franklin, Dawn Marie, and Venice Cub. This will only be the main feature, but there are DVD extras which will not be shown. Though the film was shot over the course of 3 hours (May 13, 2006), the actual creation of the 90 minute feature with over 9 hours of footage captured kept Jason Kraley busy for over 6 weeks. This feature marks the first Kraley Productions DVD project and was fully edited using Final Cut Pro 4.5. ![]() Last, but not least, there will be 12 paintings by Jason Kraley spanning 1996-2006. His last exhibit in Cleveland ("Final Days") started his latest movement towards incorporating other mediums with his oil paintings, including spray paint, charcoal and oil pastels. Though most of the new paintings sold fast during "Final Days", there are a few left that were shipped from Cleveland and will be available during the event. There will also be two extremely new pieces that will be on display (and for sale). They mark the first paintings completed in Philadelphia. So open your eyes and enjoy all there is to see and experience throughout the night. This entire event was created in the spirit of art and community. |
