Through our good friends at VR Marketing we had the pleasure of developing a business promotional video for Vacationland Bowling and Recreation Center located in Saco Maine.   The goal of the video was to showcase the fun that can be had for all ages at Vacationland Bowling.  Ry Russel of VR Marketing directed our extras who of course had a blast bowling on the Candlestick lanes.  We even gave them a taste of “Glow Bowling” where the normal lights are turned off and the disco lights kick in changing an already fun evening into a real party.   To further promote Vacationland Bowling and Recreation Center as a great way to beat cabin fever we have spun their promo video into a 30 second TV commercial which will be aired on WGME 13 soon.  Here is the commercial.

I mentioned in my last post that Whitney and I worked at a fashion show this past Friday. That show was hosted by Fashionable Giving of which we have become the official photographers and videographers. This event was held on behalf Miss Wheelchair Maine Monica Quimby and the Advocacy Organization. With the Christmas holiday so close it seemed only fitting for the theme of the show to take on a Christmas flare. To that end Lingerie De Amor and “Restless Threads” of Saco provided both Christmas and Boutique wear for the models. Here are just some of the photos we took that evening. As you can see it was a very festive event!!!

The past week has been a busy one. A fashion show on Friday, shooting on a short film Saturday and Sunday and more filming for a local photographer and his video blog on Monday. What does all this mean, lots of editing to be done. On Friday I mentioned that Whitney and I worked at a fashion show put on by Fashionable Giving a non profit organization that selects a new charitable organization for each event they hold. This last event they had everything covered except for an MC for the event. Luckily at the last minute Ry Russel of VR Marketing stepped up to MC the event and did a fine job. While we were getting ready for the show that day we had some time to pop off a couple of quick images of Ry and his business partner Sean Violette. Sometimes both location and the natural light can lend to a nice head shot as was the case this day. here are some of photos of guys looking good.

This past week I had the pleasure of working with an engineering firm located right here in my home town of Yarmouth Maine. To make it even more interesting their offices were located in the old Spar Hawk Mill which is where I first worked when I came to Maine some fifteenth years ago. Back then I came to join a young little software company called Kepware now Kepware Technologies. So it was good to be back in the building were I got my start here in Maine. One interesting little side note regarding the Spar Hawk mill is the rumored ghost that still wonders the old wooden floor boards of the mill. I didn’t get in to a lot of details with the guys at Investment Engineering as we had just met and I like to let folks get to know me a little before they find out I’m a little crazy, Just Kidding,, maybe…

Well our friendly ghost didn’t make an appearance which was just fine since we had a busy day taking photos of the team. The goal for the shoot was to create a set of photos that was a mix of somewhat classical head shots along with some images that were more stock like in their appearance. As you can see from the selection below I think we accomplished that fairly well.
