Construction... Day 1

2011-10-29T11:28:00.000-04:00

For the past month we have been organizing, planning, and designing for our Holiday Portraits. This week began construction!

Phase 1 of construction meant cleaning out one of our studios to make room for our props and set. Here it is with only our fireplace and some walls off to the side (all of which need to be re-painted!).

Set Update

2010-11-03T10:15:00.000-04:00

The set is just about done. The sleigh is painted. Theres snow on the ground. Trees have taken root and the background has been hung and painted. All that is left is a few minor decorations on the sleigh and lighting/test shooting the entire set. Next Thursday will be here before we know it.

Flyer Design

2010-10-27T21:32:00.003-04:00

A big thank you to the design team for the flyer design! A special thanks to Erik Helms for his very talented Adobe Illustrator work! This is the flyer that was voted on to be used for the 2010 GTC Holiday Portraits. Once all these are printed the real footwork begins. Everyone will need to distribute these flyers to as many parties as possible. The lower quarter has also been asked to assist in this extremely important process.

The Sleigh has Arrived!

2010-10-27T21:05:00.006-04:00

We received the sleigh from the Construction Dept. today. We were all really impressed with the work the Construction Dept did on this massive prop. We now have a focal point in our set, which is also coming together nicely. We had to prime the sleigh to get it ready for the red and black paint. We are expecting the paint process will take a few days to get accomplished.
