Teachers Are Everywhere!

February 18, 2010

I’ve seen this video about three times already and I just cant get over it. Its truly inspirational and it really made my day. If you dont understand the video
visit and read that article. This video was made in reflection to this article.

I hope someone out there can relate to it as much as I can. -JEFFREY

Engagement Sessions

February 17, 2010

As we get closer to wedding season we will be shooting a lot of our engagement sessions within the next few months. Tonight will be one of our first sessions for 2010 and it should be plenty of fun. Im really excited since we will also be shooting video aswell.

Last week I met with Cassandra and Oscar and they were nice enough to drive around town with me to scout for a nice location. It turned out to be great that they tagged along since they had so many ideas I would have not thought of. For tonight we will be shooting mostly at the WBCA Carnival. Both the pictures and video should turn out great!!

Here is test shot for our second location which will be shot at a later date.

Cassandra poses while Oscar makes her laugh for the camera.

THE STORY BEYOND THE STILL

February 15, 2010

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?

Baccahlillian Bliss

I had the pleasure of shooting with this one of kind band a few weeks ago. I had alot of fun hanging out with the band and getting to know a bit about them. I really wish I would have taken my video camera, hopefully there is more shoots to come with Bacchanalian Bliss or maybe even a music video.

ABOUT BACCHANALIAN BLISS:
Bacchanalian Bliss was formed in December 2007. This band consists of 6 males and 1 female who assembled together in hopes of fighting off the evils of today’s times as the modern version Power Rangers, but in all sadness our hopes seemed unpromising, so we turned to the world of music. Having so many people in this band brings so many different personalities, and influences. With this chaotic mix, many have said this band wouldn’t come together and do anything productive. But we have proven them wrong. Not only do our personalities and influences blend well together, but with only one year under our belt, we’ve accomplished so many things. Though we may have our ups, we also have our downs, but somehow we manage and push through them. We invite you into our world that we have tried so hard to save. So listen with your ears, see with your eyes, and feel with your heart. The salvation is about to start. We are Bacchanalian Bliss. For more information or to book us for your next event, call 956-337-8660.
