oh Hooorrah's!

This Week, We shot a new exterior for Harrahs Casino in Las Vegas.  The Client wanted it shot from the same angle as their current Shot - however Oh wait, Now - there's an Enormous shopping mall there :)

Luckily, we were able to get on the roof of Caesars Palace Forum Shops (owned by Harrahs, aka the Nicest people on the planet :) & get this similar angle.  (some might say Better,.....but I'm just sayin')

We setup 2 cameras : one for the angle below & one to capture their marquee from further north & strip into this angle below.  Then! ran back and forth jumping over gas lines, air conditioning ducts, lights & misc pipes (that all tried to kill us at least once)

Other fabulous retouching/post - we enlarged the Tower 25% (the wide angle lense made it appear smaller than it actually is) & Added : additonal mountains, sky, blurred cars & Removed : Imperial Palace, Wynn, Palazzo & Venetian & clowns.

go Backstage : Jeremy Cornwell Project

We had an hour before their 6pm show {at Twin Creeks inside Silverton Hotel & Casino} to shoot!

Meanwhile, Jeremy & Michael kept us entertained humming along to everything on our Pandora jukebox!  We were eager to try out this intricate lighting setup on a group that has a crazy diverse style. 

Jeremy and keyboardist Michael Quarentello - who make up the Jeremy Cornwell Project — have finished recording the tracks for their first, self-released CD, “Blue Bonnet and the Louisiana Mockingbird.”  (give it some Luv, & download it)

They have a stripped-down sound with vocals, guitar and keyboard. Cornwell describes it as a mix of Hootie and the Blowfish, Stevie Wonder and the Fray, with a little Jason Mraz thrown in...... you'll love em'!

To us - it's local vibe in a bustling city, or just what we needed :)

Silverton Hotel & Casino get's Swanky! Thanks to Alison Victoria Gramenos, of Alison Victoria Interiors.  
We met Alison ,coincidentally, while building our live/work/studio by Blue Heron. 

She's always been on the edge of the curve, and this time she's taking US & Silveron Casino with her!  This is a concept that she created for the Pool this summer.

How a modern Mermaid Get's Around' on the Set? She was a sport for sure.  It took four of us to get her into the tail (& by four I mean - 4 holding the tail while she JUMPs off a counter into the tail - with Baby Powder & Pantyhose) ........... And the most tortured Talent 2010 goes to.......
