Sir Paul, Meet Sir Charles

This is why I love working in this business!  We're working on the Grammy afterparty at the convention center (6000 guests, ACM and ACD and our beloved NARAS clients).  Sir Paul is being honored as Person of the Year.  I grab my boy Charlie to see a rehearsal with his hero since age 6, Paul McCartney.  We get our minds blown with Paul jamming "The End" with Dave Grohl and Joe Walsh, etc.  3 hours later we're in a reception honoring Sir Paul when PM himself walks by my son and says "hey I saw you at the rehearsal - do you remember?  Dad, take our picture!"  Well I had to oblige Sir Paul.  Here's the shot (confounded iphone flash).  Bliss.

Bouncing with Chanel

Another great one with Bounce -  Carleen and Rachael brought us up to Las Vegas to help build an elaborate and gorgeous temporary Chanel museum at the Wynn.  We built matrixed display walls, and did some very unique projection on to atypical surfaces.  Here's a shot of a projection that appears inside an oversized bottle of Chanel perfume.  Lots of keystone correcting and masking to make it look almost like a hologram.  Fun times always with this group...

Flip out on THIS!

video

Indy producer David Shapiro asked us up to the high desert to reinforce audio for a stunt featuring mad-man Rob Dyrdek and a Chevy Sonic.  Rob does whatever it is he does to get pumped up for this insanity, then he jumps in this stock Chevy Sonic, and hits a ramp that is far from level.  Check out this test video of the event.  Why, you ask?  Why not?

Beverly Hills Sparkles


video
David Rodgers and Swarovski brought us along to help with a sculpture installation on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. This installation is a series of five Helix-shaped sculptures wrapped in flexible LED display. People all over the world can text or tweet Swarovski, and their messages are displayed on the LED sculptures. A live webcam allows people worldwide to see their messages appear on Rodeo. Here's a link to the webcam: http://www.facebook.com/SWAROVSKIELEMENTS

Partying with a Purpose

Hillary and the crew at Warner Brothers invited us to join them for the Environmental Media Awards on NY Street.  The perfect location for an event, on a perfect night.  We brought in 150 Versatubes and Chris G. did some sweet programming.  The rig looked great live, and even better on camera.  Debbie Levin is the president of EMA and she was just lovely to work with.  The association believes that the entertainment industry has the power to influence environmental awareness on a large scale.  They're right.  Listen to em!
