Wooden Boat Diaries

Building a Wooden Boat

Location: Bangor, Maine

A wedding day is one of the most important days in a couple's life and McCormick Media is here to produce an emotional and entertaining film that the couple can enjoy for years to come. As a New Media and Studio Art graduate of the University of Maine, I have combined my love for video and art to create my own cinematic editing style. We use the same high end audio and video equipment as many independent filmmakers and edit with the same software often used on Hollywood movies. Our team is unobtrusive and works with the other vendors you hire. From getting your hair done to the first dance, we are there to film each priceless moment and create the perfect recap of your wedding day to sit down and watch with family and friends.

Side Planking

We spent this weekend side planking the boat. A couple of hot, sunny and breezy days made perfect weather for boat building. After the first side was planked with two panels and let set to dry for a day, the overhang along the bow was trimmed and the second side was ready to be planked.
