A very creative video of a very creative party!

Recently I was at the Moscone Center in San Francisco to photograph a very large event that was produced by Extraordinary Events of Los Angeles. The even was gigantic! They put large video projections along the perimeter of the event, over 300 feet on one wall. The video was seamless and rolling throughout the night.

After I took the photographs of the setup and decor I started wondering what it would look like if I were to hold down the shutter and let the camera take as many photos as it could. These new cameras can take over 30 images per second for as long as there is room on the memory card. So I let the camera fired away for about 2-3 minutes at a time. 

I shared these images with Greg Russell of Tandem Digital who produced the video.  He incorporated those sequences into an amazing followup video. Take a peek at the video and find some inspiration for a fun idea on how to use video in an event. If your computer can handle it, watch this in the Large setting. It's really quite amazing to watch.

Take note that much of the video is footage shot by Greg, then portions of the video were created by the still images that I shot. I think the effect is quite interesting.
