No…its not big and glamorous…but then again we are just beginning, so watch out!
Above the warehouse in Saint Anthony’s building, in a corner of the room you will find Brother Anthony intensely busy. With the fervor of a mad scientist in a laboratory he works on his experiments. Only instead of test tubes he pours over his Video Toaster 5 Integrated Production Suite with Speed Edit. Uncompressed video running on a dual zeon2.8ghz PC with over 800Gb of storage! Or he works with 3D animations and TitlesLightwave 8.5 and Adobe After Effects CS3!
Sometimes, though, you find him with a Canon XL1 and XL2 on his shoulder or setting up a tripod in some obscure place. What is he actually doing?
So far Mancipia Studios, a fledgling endeavor…… with the potential of an eagle, has produced “The Pearl of York” our first feature film, on Saint Margaret Clitherow. It has also finished DVDs on: Una Voce –10th Anniversary Conference, “How to Celebrate the Extraordinary Rite” (an educational DVD for priests), various SBC activities (Professions, summer camp, Holy Week Triduum etc.) and various IHM School activities.
What next? In production at the present time is: SBC vocation promotional, SBC first Confirmation, Biography of Father Leonard Feeney, and a Documentary of SBC.
A little more help, a little more time and you might be watching Mancipia Studio productions at a theater near YOU!
…but in the meantime look for Mancipia Studios productions at our Online Gift Store… or watch trailers and video clips at the Videos page or on SBC's YouTube Channel!
