your time because they are out of range for your offering and
they simply won’t tell you. Getting bogged down with brides who are
“just looking”.
Most Brides have not been married before. Could you gain from
weeding out prospects who cannot or will not buy from you? Spending
tons of money on
advertising and not getting ANY brides Not getting their fair share
of Brides in the area, only losing them to less qualified competition

with Bridal Businesses and bring them tomore effective marketing to
Brides and wedding marketing. By showing them howto get more Brides,

Bill Kronemyer,  the founder of the NJVA, and one of the pioneers in the event video industry, died in his home on Thursday, August 5th.

Bill started the NJVA group back in 1988 by placing an ad in Videomaker magazine for interested videographers in the northern NJ area. The original four members met informally at Bill’s small apartment in Hawthorne, but soon moved to larger venues when the membership outgrew his apartment. The NJVA became an official non-profit organization in 1994, electing Robert Allen as their first president.

In that same year, Bill moved on to create the PVAA – Professional Videographers Association of America, and it’s monthly magazine, American Videographer. Bill served as both Executive Director, and the magazine’s publisher/editor. It was a slick, information-packed magazine, but only lasted about a year and a half.

Bill was also an active member with the northern NJ chapter of the ITVA (International Television Association), now the MCA-I (Media Communications Association, International), and served as their vice president from 1996 through 1999. He was known and respected for his considerable knowledge in the technical aspects of video production.

Bill owned and operated W.J. Kronemyer, Assoc., specializing in corporate clients; Sharp and Nordstrom, among them. For several years in the late 90′s, Bill was a full-time video editor for Christ Church in Montclair, NJ.

Bill is survived by his brother, Bob and sister Katie, as well as his mother, Kay. There will be an informal gathering of friends and family on August 29th. Email Dave Hall for more information.  There is an on-line obituary and you are invited to sign the virtual guest book.  Click here.

For NJVA members only, we are having another party at Bernard and Maria’s home in West Orange on the THIRD Wednesday of this month, August 18th.  It’s potluck, so bring something with you (doesn’t have to be a lot!)

This Party is for NJVA Members only. Members can check the NJVA Recorder for details about the event.

Adobe Encore Intensive Training

NJVA continues its new series of Pre-meeting workshops with Adobe Encore Intensive Training. Encore is the most versatile DVD creation software on the market. It provides unparalleled flexibility and creativity due to its integration with Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. It is one of the best options for burning Blu-Ray DVD’s.

What’s new in Adobe CS5

Join Adobe’s Dennis Radeke for an in depth look at the new features of CS5. This is your chance to see the new toys and time saving tips in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, Encore, and more. Dennis will talk about DSLR and tapeless workflow, and the power of the Mercury Playback Engine and what it can mean for you. With After Effects, you’ll learn about the powerful new RotoBrush and what it could do for those special shots. And of course, what would an Adobe presentation be without a little Photoshop wizardry? There will be plenty of time throughout the day to pick Dennis’s brain with any of your Adobe questions.

How to make your DVD’s Distinct!
