Video LoveStories: You can play the real-life romantic lead in your very own made-for-TV-movie.

Spread a little love around. “Everybody loves a love story,” says network television producer and local professional videographer Kevin Norberg. “So I’ve made MY passion my clients’ passion—turning their romance into a custom-produced MTV-style music video.”

(PRWEB) August 6, 2003

“LoveStories” is a cinematic video product local video producer Kevin Michael Norberg creates through his video production company, Studio By The Pond in Arden Hills. This unique concept video tells the story of how two people met and fell in love. Couples have the opportunity to let everyone—including future generations—know how their relationship evolved right up to their Wedding Day and beyond.

Norberg produces LoveStories using on-camera interviews with the couple, as well as romantic location shoots—along a sandy beach, in a rose garden, or in a scenic park. Norberg helps his clients choose a location appropriate to their personalities, tastes and interests. “We can do the video shoot wherever the couple feels most comfortable, or at a completely offbeat site. It’s their choice.”

A typical location? “The Twin Cities have some of the finest gardens, lakes, and picturesque spots in the nation,” Norberg says. “Most of my clients prefer more traditional sites.” What would be not-so-traditional? “Hunting and camping trips. A river trip on a Mississippi paddleboat. Hot air balloon rides.” And the strangest location shoot? “The basement of the Metrodome for a couple of die-hard Twins fans! Any location is a fantastic location,” Norberg adds, “as long as the couple loves it!”

After the location video shoot, Norberg moves indoors with the couple. He interviews them on-camera, asking questions designed to help them tell their own love story in their own words. He asks them to tell him how they met, about their first date, and how they got engaged.

With the romantic video shoot and interview complete, Norberg takes his equipment home and edits the footage into a 10-to-15 minute concept video, complete with MTV-style special effects, transitions, and underscored with a music soundtrack. Within a few weeks he returns with the finished video and usually a few copies for the stars to share with their friends and extended family. Many of his LoveStories receive their premier showing at the couple’s wedding reception.

These videos, including photos from the couple’s past and even home movie clips, become instant heirlooms and are cherished by both the LoveStories stars and their fans.

Although the majority of Norberg’s clients are 20-something brides-and-grooms-to-be, Norberg also produces what he calls “Second-Chance Weddings!” “No, I’m not promoting divorce!” he laughs. “This is a great opportunity for couples of all ages to tell their LoveStories.” Norberg points out that many couples celebrating their 5th, 10th, 25th or even 50th wedding anniversaries may never have had their weddings videotaped. “I enjoy working with anyone in love—whether they’re celebrating a lifetime of romance or they’ve only just begun. I produce LoveStories for Newlyweds,” he adds. “But they’re for Oldlyweds, too!”

Norberg enjoys helping his clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, particularly if they’ve never had any prior on-camera experience. He directs the couple in the video shoot and interview, helping them feel natural, at ease, and relaxed with him, each other, and their surroundings. “My job is to make you look good in the finished movie. Not posed or rehearsed. I just want you to be yourself.”

And he’s had plenty of experience at it. Norberg has spent over twenty years in the entertainment industry, acting and directing on stage, local television, and as a network producer. In his career, Norberg produced, directed, and performed in over 1500 professional television, radio, stage and multimedia productions and is a Certified Professional Videographer. He has taught at Universities and private colleges across the nation. Norberg has won critical acclaim for directing, producing, and performing in network television programs, commercials, recording projects, video and multimedia productions, as well as stage and concert performances. He has worked with some of the top artists in the world, including locally as a member of The Dale Warland Singers.

Norberg’s LoveStories concept videos have been helping people preserve their romance and personal love stories in an easy and affordable way.
