Help Me, Help Haiti: The Intro

So awhile back, I shot at the Portage Theater in Chicago for an event called "Help Me, Help Haiti". I feel like I've been non-stop shooting of late, so this is extraordinarily late for me to post, haha. Anyway, the event was put together by Jen DeLeon who I had met a week before I signed on to do the event.

One of the things I was asked to make was an intro video to kick off the show, but I wanted to do something a little more fancy than just lazily throw together some photos of the performers off of Google. So I decided to shoot the performers while they were going through sound check and render a slideshow on the spot with photos and video. Sounded like a good plan, right?

Well, I was a little flustered when I looked in my camera bag and found that my CF card reader had decided to wander off, but luckily Mclaren, one of the other photogs on location, had his handy. FHEW! Thanks again, Mclaren! I thought I was going to have to make a mad dash to Calumet. Anyway, despite some technical difficulties and time issues, I managed to get the vid completed before the show started and this is the result.

Stay tuned for some more photos from the show! I promise you won't have to wait long, haha.
