Fireworks - Playing with Fire

 

Fireworks occur almost quarterly (or more) in cities across the United States. There’s a fascination with them that must come from us wanting to bring that fire in the sky home with us.

That’s why I wanted to take explore ways to capture those occasions and share the results with you.

I’ve broken that experience into 4 parts. I hope you enjoy, comment, and share a link back to what you find.

Fireworks Part 1 - Exploring Technique

All about what I found helpful as I learned about shooting fireworks.

Fireworks Part 2 - Warming up at Target Field

My first shoot and the challenge of learning you have only 30 minutes to get to a completely different show.

Fireworks Part 3 - Summer Fete

Images from the 2010 Bloomington Summer Fete Fireworks.

Fireworks Part 4 - Getting Creative with Fire.

What to do when you are stuck in a “bad” location.

Give & Take - June, 2010

Another great event produced by Works Progress, Give & Take is focused around two simple questions:
1) "What do you know?”
2) “What do you want to know?”

An Introduction to Give & Take from Works Progress on Vimeo.

 “This month, Give & Take acts as the closing event for Works Progress' newest exhibition We Work Here: A Conversation on Art, Economics, and Community. This months Give & Take event will continue to explore these themes and engage the audience in a conversation on the value of creative work to our lives, our economies and our communities.” - Work’s Progress

Die-Bar Chandelier at Tramonto's

I believe in pushing the limits of what I produce when I collaborate on a project. Jockimo was thrilled with my exploration of video for their project @ ING-Direct.

Here we are using a dolly rig to use motion around the Glass Chandelier to give detail to it's form and depth to it's setting at Tramonto's Steak and Seafood.

As with all things technical, the more experience built, the more innovation. In this case I have already identified a few additional methods to improve the quality of the motion for future projects.

Let me know what you think.
