To Apprentice or not to Apprentice...

Up today at Aspects of Entertainment, Ron Greenfield delves into the concept of apprenticeship, illustrating why it remains an integral part of a successful career in the entertainment industry. 

The Apprentice: 

With the great artists of the Renaissance – Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, etc. – young artists who displayed a talent for the arts or anyone interested in other vocations were often apprenticed to The Master in order to learn and perfect  their chosen craft or livelihood. - Read more at: http://www.aspectsofentertainment.com/apprentice/#sthash.asJqa0CX.dpuft

Rest in Peace...

Entertainment expert, Ron Greenfield pays tribute to the artists our world lost in 2013.

 

The Artists We Lost in 2012 - Farewell Dear Friends

They are well-known and respected artists from the worlds of film, television, the theater, dance, music, jazz, rock, country, cabaret, opera, and ballet. Whether watching the “authenticity” of James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, the comedic genius of Jonathan Winters, or the brilliant Julie Harris in her many stage roles, each one of these performers had the ability to touch us, affect us, and turn a moment in time into a fond memory to last a lifetime. - Read more at: http://www.aspectsofentertainment.com/farewell-dear-friends-artists-lost-2013-2/#sthash.4r6AznAa.dpuf

Visit The Great Movie Palaces with Ron Greenfield...

The great movie palaces have mostly disappeared, but at his website today, Ron Greenfield brings them back to life.

THE GREAT MOVIE PALACES

Today, many of these magnificent structures are lost to us, seen as dinosaurs in the path of progress, giving way to Cineplex’s, malls, and office buildings. They were glorious in their ornateness and even ostentation, adding an undefinable aura to the  whole “movie going experience.” - Read the rest at: http://www.aspectsofentertainment.com/the-great-movie-palaces/

The Entertainment Revolution...

DJ Grandpa's Crib has been fortunate over the past six months to find a friend in entertainment expert Ron Greenfield.  Here's an excerpt from his latest article up at Stage 32, THE film, television, and theater Super Hub. 

The Entertainment Revolution: Then and Now by Ron Greenfield

In the early eighties something radically new was introduced to consumers – home entertainment. It changed the entire entertainment industry and its paradigm of doing business. Now anyone could watch a movie without going to their local Cineplex or having to wait for a network or PPV airing. There were VCR’s and Betamax machines, Laserdisc and CED machines, all with one purpose – to bring the movie-going experience into the home, at the consumer’s leisure.

For those of us who were there at the beginning, it was an exciting time, but also a perplexing and challenging one. At first, we weren’t sure how to market this “new concept,” let alone where people could go and purchase these videos and discs because the concept of “rentals” hadn’t caught on yet.  Read the rest at:  Stage 32
