City Daily Photo Theme Day: Ageing

Veterans Day Parade 2014-11-08 16

It's the first of the month and City Daily Photo's theme day topic is ageing. I met this tough old guy while shooting a parade. He stopped me and asked about my big camera. I was happy to demonstrate, which allowed me to get this tight shot.

I don't think I'd want to play poker with him.

Peppy Video for @MXSTL Showcases Some Nice City Shots of St. Louis - @Tree9Films

While this type or style of video is not necessarily our cup of tea, anyone can tell that there are some really nice shots of the city that took more than a minute to setup and film. Lots of fancy tracking and jib work that no doubt thrilled the client. It reminds us of that ""Here is St. Louis" film from a couple years ago but with a Rusted Root x Drumline cranked up audio track.

6 locations, 25 actors, 1 block of STL! We were so excited when The Laurel Apartments asked us to showcase life in the new MX District on Washington Avenue. With so many things to do, places to eat, and sights to see, it was a challenge fitting it all into just one film!
