My Bucci Productions YouTube channel was getting bogged down by weddings, short films, reenactment videos, vlogs, and promos. This was not all poor material, but the quantity of subjects seemed too much. As my passion for creating films is rekindled and begins to crave fuel, I thought it wise to set up a new channelContinue reading “Lads of the Third Maine”

As We Go Marching On: Civil War Reenacting
I meant to keep writing more of Aurum’s Ledger today. Howard, Mira, and Raleen aren’t going anywhere—I’m still excited to continue their journey—but instead, I found myself drawn to video editing. I’ve been in a crafty mood lately. Yesterday I spent most of the day sewing some tears in my reenacting uniform and knitting…well, something.Continue reading “As We Go Marching On: Civil War Reenacting”

I carefully tied one side of the tent to the sturdy trees, while the other side wasContinue reading “Narramissic Farm Civil War Weekend”
Camp of Instruction 2024
This year’s Camp of Instruction (COI) for the 3rd Maine was splendid…wet and splendid. Over 50 people joined in for drill, cooking, music, and general shenanigans. It was much like previous COI events I’ve attended in the past, but unique as well. This time, I did more filming than drilling. I’m working on a fewContinue reading “Camp of Instruction 2024”
An Account of the 160th Battle of the Wilderness
What do you get when you put 17 reenactors from three different units together into two vans? A hilarious and long-ass ride to the 160th Battle of the Wilderness!

From the Past to the Present: Navigating the Transition in Historical Reenactment
I don’t want to generalize, so I’ll speak from my own experience. However, it would be interesting to hear from other reenactors: is it just me, or is it some hard coming back from events? For me, difficulty returning is measured by the length and complexity of an event. A two hour parade is anContinue reading “From the Past to the Present: Navigating the Transition in Historical Reenactment”
