Shooting the Eastern United States Danceport Championships

My last freelance shoot was at the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel in Boston for the Eastern United States Dancesport Championships. I've shot live performances in the past, but this one was one of my favorites. A ton of colorful clothes flying in and out of frame made it a fun shoot. Every style of dance dictated my own shooting style. I liked being able to switch up the movements according to the music. I'm interested to see what kind of a piece will be made with the footage I shot. There were definitely some really good moments captured that night. I've never seen so many talented dancers before. It was a much bigger event than I had expected and I was glad I got the chance to work it.

Video Lock

After one last meeting with the director, all major decisions were made regarding the video and my responsibilities as both cinematographer and editor have finally come to an end. We have reached yet another important milestone in the progression of this film, and I hope it will continue to move at a steady pace. After working on The Mercury Cycle for almost a year and a half now, it feels weird to finally be moving on. I know big things will come in the near future for this film, but for now at it enters post audio, things will be quiet for a while.
