March Stage Madness

March was an interesting month on the stage. With everything from sound checks for a nationwide Band tour, to car parts shoots. We hosted workshops, still photogs and educators!

We even found time to replace part of our stage roof, that seemed to want to pass a little rain thru to our floor....

Bam, Pow , Socko!!

Picture this worked to promote the Boxing/Sport Fight series at the Spirit Mountain Casino. We provided Still Photography, Video coverage of the Event and Weigh-ins.

 It was a smashing success!

The Picture This " Cameras in Motion" workshop was a well attended event at the Stage.

Add motion to any shot adds exciting motion to any sequence and helps to eat screen time, thus minimizing b roll.  

Attendees were shown techniques in Steadicam and Glidecam with the benefits of each system. Thanks to Pro Video and Tape and Intel Studios for the extra demo units. Everyone got to "fly" a rig. 

 Losmondy jibs and mini jibs were demoed with a variety of cameras. Booming features and blocking for jibs shots were discussed. AJ instructed on setups, leveling and features.

DP Randy Sellars taught the best attended workshop on Dollies and overhead mini dollies.

Many thanks.

Call Tim or AJ at PT for more information on adding motion to your next production.

Stay tuned for info on our next mini workshop.

Light for Black and White Limbo and Greeenscreens!
