Przyborski Productions

Before Kennywood, Idlewild and Sandcastle were acquired by California based, Palace Entertainment in 2007, I directed, photographed and edited dozens of their TV campaigns. Brad Wucher was the agency creative director and writer on most of these ads. He’s a good friend and we spent many hours filming amusement park fun. We’ve ridden roller coasters and other intense rides while trying to hold heavy 35mm movie cameras and laughing so hard it hurt.

On all these projects, Henny Henninger, Andy Quinn and the late, Carl Hughes ruled the parks. They were great clients who were totally supportive of our crazy ideas. Most of these commercials were shot on 35mm movie film then edited on 1” analog videotape. Later, D-2 composite digital was used for post-production. We produced a couple of the last spots in HD, but in the mid-2000’s, many TV stations and cable companies couldn’t air non-network HDTV commercials, so home viewers saw them in standard definition.

Please enjoy this retro collection of summertime fun… Glenn Przyborski
