My Nutcracker Day

filmmakingI spent the afternoon shooting video and still images of winter in Vermont. My friends Joe and Gahlord are in a band called Charles Dead or Alive and they're performing Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite tomorrow night at Club Metronome in downtown Burlington. They asked me if I would contribute some video footage to the cause that will be projected onto a screen behind the band as they play. I said yes.

I had a great time today just driving around and looking for interesting things to shoot. Unfortunately, I realized as I was shooting that it's really hard to come up with 30-45 minutes of good, useable video in an afternoon. So I called upon my friends Art and NTodd, who have some lovely images of Winter in Vermont already, and I will use their stuff to pad out the running time.

I will be editing all night so feel free to swing by VCAM and keep me company if you're up late and in town.
