In reference to our previous post, here are some more pics Jeffrey took at Home Slice, hands down Austin’s best pizza. Jeffrey and I had our own Man Vs. Food episode as we tackled this beasty Pepperoni and Mushroom pizza. We were both full after two slices, but being as we were not going to let food win this battle we trudged onward. Home Slice is just one of those quaint locally owned restaurants that represents the soul of Austin and its people. We knew we could not walk away from here without getting some good pics of this fine establishment.
Calling out all local filmmakers. Here is a great opportunity to show off your film making skillz! Watch the video and learn how you can compete in this nation wide film contest.
“When I was asked to interpret this still, a thousand different ideas flooded my mind. I wanted to create a dynamic film that took the audience on a journey and showed off the many strengths of this new breed of HD DSLR cameras, such as the Canon 7D, which we shot this film with. The camera’s low light capabilities and light weight allow you to do things you’d never think to try with traditional cameras. This has been an amazing experience and it’s just the beginning.” -VINCENT LAFORET
I hope you enjoy this short – we had a blast making it!
Submissions for the next chapter are due February 11 using the last still from this film which you can download on the contest page. Learn more about the contest here – vimeo.com/groups/beyondthestill
THE STORY BEYOND THE STILL
Introducing the first user-generated HD Video Contest where photographers become filmmakers, and we all see beyond the still. To kick off the contest, Canon asked photographer, Vincent Laforet, to interpret what story lives beyond this still and to tell that story with the new Canon EOS 7D. His will be the first chapter of seven, each ending with a still photograph for the next aspiring filmmaker to interpret. Posing the question to everyone, what do you see beyond the still?
It has been an extremely busy January for us here at CinedeLaredo.
We have been trying our best to keep you updated with our latest projects but sometimes we do not have enough time to update our blog.
I (jeff) will personally devote Feb., as a time to get up to date with the blog and website..
Tomorrow I will post more pictures of the photo session with Nudo Piedi Contemporary Dance Studio. For now feel free to give us some feedback on this group shot.
Check out Scheme’s second music video filmed in Chicago, Illinios.

Respect the Art (produced by 21 Grams) – off of The Manifesto EP.
For the “Respect the Art” video Scheme brought it back home to Chicago. Scheme’s first video “Chicano” represented his home away from home (filmed in laredo and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico), this one here represents where he was born and raised. Mostly shot in the neighborhood Scheme grew up in, the video is filled with nostalgic images, familiar faces, and iconic Chicago sites.
Scheme’s purpose for both song and video was to express that “no matter how you choose to portray your craft, all I ask is that you respect the art.”
I can seriously say the they could probably make a living by modeling or acting.
Ever since our first photo session a few months ago, they have been flaw less in front of the camera. With a limited amount of time to do both a short film for their wedding day and a photo session, they were able to knock of mostly all shots in their first take. INSANE!!
Well yesterday they finally got hitched and we were there to snap some relax portraits of their wedding. I will post some wedding pics later, for now check out the ones from their engagement and bridal session. Also below is the short film we shot for their wedding. It was played on the jumbo screen in front of all the guest that attended the wedding. The crowd really got into it and we ended up playing the video twice throughout the night.
By the way, the video was inspired by Reverie a short film by Vincent Laforte.
As we approach the New Moon movie premiere we decided to have a bit of fun and join the twilight movement.
We are recreating several of the movie posters using talents from LDO. If you look like any character from the Twilight series and want to be part of the fun give us a call.
Also, if you have created your own poster go ahead and email it to us so we can publish on our blog.
