WE DID IT!!

The video shoot is now complete!! Next up will be the editing session!

Yesterday evening, my friends and compadres, Deborah and Don Rumford, headed out to Ceasar's Creek Lake to shoot the video needed for the commerical. We were a bit skeptical hearing that rain was moving in, the wind was blowing and the skies were filled with clouds. We just kept saying, we only need a few minutes of sun light.
So we kept our fingers crossed as we drove along.

We arrived at the appointed location and I unpacked my painting gear. I set up the easel, got the paints ready and the canvas board in place. I started painting and Don started shooting, while Deborah took still shots of the shoot. Light was changing pretty quickly and within about 45 minutes I had a study complete and Don had all he wanted from that location. So we changed locations and we started again.
However, just as we started this, the sun decided to grace our presence and answer our request. We worked quickly to capture the light. The colors on the study are very vibrant and should be captured well, even though that wasn't the idea--I really pushed the color just in case there are some shots of it.

After Don made sure he got the shots we needed and we were pretty sure that the sun was not going to come back out, we packed up and headed back to our house to celebrate a successful shoot and good friendship. We even managed to get the grilling done before the rain set in. It was a fun evening/night and nice break for everyone from the routine.

Next up is the editting of what we shot and then the tape gets sent out to Time Warner. The commerical will be aired the week of Sept 17th on the Golf Channel.
If you happen to catch it, drop me a line and let me know what you think. And if you are out of town, you'll be able to catch it off the website or at Youtube.

Now down to the studio to hang some Ott lights and get more light into my studio!
Peace,
Linda
