Show of the Week: PHHS Band Program

August 5

This week’s show comes from Jeff Peters, owner of Showography, a small business in Richmond, VA that specializes in multimedia slideshow creation.

The slideshow below was created for the Patrick Henry High School Band to help with fundraising initiatives and raise awareness about their program.

The team at Showography mixed photos, video interviews and voiceovers to create a professional fundraising video for the highschool. All edited and created in ProShow Producer.
