Posted January 19, 2010.

Two of Bill Crumlic's co-workers from "69 News" in Allentown, Pennsylvania are on assignment in Haiti covering earthquake relief efforts. Reporter Jaccii Farris and Videographer Lee Jenkins were sent to the earthquake ravaged country by WFMZ on Monday to shadow a Lehigh Valley church group and several Lehigh Valley Hospital doctors responding to lend aid. As of today the team has made it as far as Fond Parisien but they are not yet able to enter Port-au-Prince because of the escalating violence there.

"I have a deep respect for Jaccii and Lee and have them in my thoughts and prayers for safe travel and return." Crumlic said. "It is important work they are doing as the world needs to know as much as possible about the human condition in Haiti." he added.

Crumlic has worked with both Farris and Jenkins for more than ten years, first as their Chief Assignment Editor and more recently as peers when Crumlic left the position in 2002 to start Crumlic News Services, now Crumlic Media. Crumlic still often returns to WFMZ as a per diem replacement for videographers and assignment editors and has worked side by side with them. He will again be on assignment with the station January 21st through the 25th replacing Jenkins and covering his normal photog duties.

UPDATE January 25, 2010: Jaccii and Lee returned to the US on Sunday the 24th and were back at work on Monday working to assemble more stories from the massive amount of video and information gathered in Haiti. From all of us a Crumlic Media we wish to welcome our friends home from the important work they were doing.

CRUMLIC NEWS SERVICES HAS EVOLVED!

Since the inception of Crumlic News Services back in September of 2002, CNS has grown and evolved from simple freelance spot and assignment TV news video to complete video production and now feature film. Over the past few years it has become apparent that the  change in the company focus and direction was not being accurately reflected in the Crumlic News Services name. The time has come to make changes that will serve the company well into the future of the constantly evolving and changing field of video production and media.

Although our focus is now commercial & event video production, documentaries and film making, we still have roots in and provide our legendary services to television, web, radio and print news. All of the present television news services remain available to current and future news clients. As our stock of professional gear for high level video production continues to expand - news clients will continue to see an even heavier focus on quality of the video news products from us. We will continue to expand  event video, commercial and corporate video production to new levels and provide the exemplary customer service for which the Crumlic name has earned a great reputation.

THE PAST EIGHT YEARS

The past eight years has brought us wonderful clients and projects. Our first feature length film "On Point: The Legacy of Jeff Korba" is completed and in the promotions and distribution phase and doing quite well.  We have produced or worked on projects for PR agency Golin Harris of LA, Toyota, New Zealand TV 3, IrishJacks.com, eDavid Gallery, Verdi Square Festival of the Arts, Saint Philips Episcopal Church in Harlem, Great Notions Corporation, WNBC 4, WABC 7, WCBS 2, All network stations in Philadelphia, WFMZ-TV/DT 69 News, Service Electric Cable TV 2 News, RCN Cable News Local Edition, The Morning Call, Creo-Que Designs, the New York Mothers Television Show pilot, Saint Lukes Hospital,  Lehigh County, Allentown Fire Department & Training Academy, the International Association of Fire Fighters, The Movie Show/Willistein Productions, Interior Designer and Artist Julio Chakur, the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, Tom Carl Video Productions, Tribune Media, art galleries, museums, NYC off off Broadway theater productions and many more.

In early 2009 we purchased our first HD camera (seen on the title bar of the website) the AG-HVX-200A. This camera is an amazing peice of hardworking professional equipment and a significant step up from our overworked Canon GL2. A Sennheiser wireless microphone kit with both lav and stick mic was added to the equipment package rounding and other equipment was sent to be factory refurbished. We have entered 2010 with a feature film under our belt and the gear to continue our advancement in video production. The future is filled with continuing projects and new projects making it very bright and exciting!

PROJECTS NOW UNDERWAY

Presently, I am working with IrishJacks to produce a series of short film children's stories about the adventures of a group of Irish Jack Russell Terriers. These stories will be told in the fashion of the 1982 movie Homeward Bound.

A second video is nearing completion for Saint Philips Episcopal Church in Manhattan and the coming 2010 season of the Verdi Square Festival of the Arts will soon be upon us with fresh work and videos.

I continue to work with my dear friends David and Amy Stravitz of the eDavid Gallery and Great Notions Corporation and look forward to the next show at their gallery in Bethlehem. Just one block away from the eDavid Gallery is another fabulous client the Historic Hotel Bethlehem with whom we have produced a guest targeted video and two television commercials.

I am thrilled to announce the addition of Agora Gallery in Chelsea to the family of Crumlic Media arts clients. Their first video will be completed in early February and posted on their site and here on the new Crumlic Media site.

I look forward to returning to WFMZ-TV/DT 69 News as a "fill in" photog and Assignment Editor in late January and of course I always enjoy working with my friends at Service Electric Cable TV 2 News when the opportunities present themselves.

This is a fine example of my corporate video work. This is a multi-purpose video for the hotel to use. It is a sales tool, welcome video for guest to watch in their room on the hotel's information channel and it is played in the courtesy van for guests on the trip from the Lehigh Valley International Airport to the hotel.The vido was assembled in a modular fashion that allows me to update as renovations are completed or staff member change. This is the most recent update version which was completed in May of 2010.

David Stravitz of the eDavid Gallery in Bethlhem, PA asked for a short "walk through" video of his gallery to post on his website.

Another video creation by CNS Video Production. This is short promo for "James Gwynne: the One Artist Show" happening at eDavid Gallery in Bethlehem, PA Saturday, September 20th through October 19th, 2008.
