Very cool decor at the Museum


Why is it that Shari Kelley is able to blow the socks off every single event? Maybe it comes from getting up at 4:30am to have quiet personal time. I guess that allows the creativity to flow if you don't wake up running. But whatever it is, she and her team really pulled off a great event at the Palm Springs Art Museum this week.




She partnered with Kevin Swank of T&S Hoist and Rigging to add some amazing, colorful light fixtures. I've never seen anything like it before. Made me think of something that you would see in Tomorrowland at Disneyland. The only thing missing was Space Mountain rising in the distance!

My job was to take photographs of the decor, but it was decor in motion. So I pulled out my latest toy, a camera that takes HD video as well as stills and took short video clips. That was the only way to communicate the dynamic feeling in the rooms. I came home all excited from the event and put together a quick little video to show it. It really shows what they did for this event.

The music for the slideshow is "Stand By Me" as performed by street musicians around the world. That was the theme for the event, and Shari showed the video at the end of the dinner. I bet it was an amazing event!

Below is the video I made. Take a look, it's fun!
