Artistic Design, Entertainment, and More

1. Video Editing - Personalized projects for you!
Dance was my passion. My life. Teaching dance, choreographing, and performing dance filled my soul, each bringing a joy all its own. And now I am editing (in my mind choreographing) music videos. The samples below will show you how I can create your project on video using Final Cut Pro. My goal...to use my knowledge and experience with music, dance, performance, artistic design and sound to create videos for anyone who wants to use them for an audition, promo clip, presentation, performance, church service, or to just have a lasting memory of special events in their life.

Reviews - Solo Performances
"At the December 7th Clipper’s Club concert at La Jolla Presbyterian Church , Reina Bolles sang like an angel in her performance of ‘O Holy Night’! Her professionalism in performing this Christmas standard was heavenly!  She has a beautiful mezzo voice that conveyed the meaning of the birth of our beloved savior, Christ Jesus, in a time honored carol that we all know well. It was a distinct pleasure to prepare and perform this work with her and the La Jolla Brass that evening! Brava to Reina for her artistry and  faith."

"Reina - How can we ever thank you enough for such a beautiful gift to the Christine Seelig Memorial Service?  You were simply wonderful and Hal Seelig was so moved and so grateful for all you did to celebrate her life and to comfort him in his profound grief.  You – and it – were perfect! We certainly look forward to working with you again!"
        Lori Thrower
        Wedding and Memorial Coordinator
        La Jolla Presbyterian Church
   
"Reina - Thanks for sharing your beautiful vocal talents with those attending the Seelig Memorial Service today.  Hal Seelig was very pleased with your interpretation of the song, that he and Christine had sung on their wedding day.  It meant a lot to him that it be performed in a certain way, and you were sensitive to his wishes yet kept it reverential to our Lord Jesus Christ.  It was a wonderful offering in Christine’s memory exemplifying  the happiness she brought to everyone around her.  Thanks again, and we will look forward to inviting you to sing in many other Memorial Services in the future."

Music speaks what cannot be expressed,
Soothes the mind and gives it rest,
Heals the heart, makes it whole,
Flows from the heavens to the soul.
