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.
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?
