Spring 2013

Happy Spring! It’s been a long, cold, snowy winter. The studio hearth fires have been keeping things warm and toasty through the frosty months, and as The Beatles sing.....”Here comes the sun do-n-do-do...”

WHAT'S NEW:
• Special for Riverway artists only: Two new video services to support your music careers offered by videographer Greg Novak (video guy for Essex Steam Train & Riverboat):

1. In-Studio Promotional Profile – for your online/social media marketing efforts, Greg will shoot your recording session and give your fans a personal glimpse and taste of your project.

Final results yield either a 45 second video for $249, or a minute and a half product for $299.

2. Music Video Promotion – a professional and marketable music video. Either a multi-angle, multi-setup performance-driven piece or a narrative storyline running under your song. For a five minute video or less with one location: $499, or you can spend a little more for multiple locations. For more information, contact Greg at 888-674-6843 or email at nov.gsn@gmail.com and mention Riverway Studio
