BlockPartyOKC 2011

Quick edit from last night’s BlockPartyOKC held at the Packard Building in downtown Oklahoma City.

Great event, great people, great cause – benefitting OKC Educare. Big thanks to The Exchange organizers for their tremendous help.

Shot this with the Canon 7D and struggled with the constantly changing lights. The back of the runway was much brighter than the front, which is where the media area was staged. I moved around some to get different vantage points and to get a better angle. I had planned to shoot with a 14mm lens but only used it during Jonathan Fowler’s interview and the exterior shots. For inside, I stuck with the 24-105mm lens to zoom on the models and create more shots. Was actually surprised how much of this turned out to be in focus, without the Zacuto rig and with the frenetic pacing, it was hard to nail down a solid focus, especially on marching models.

Also had a Vado camera on a small tripod, stage left, which I only used in the edit a few times. It produced some surprisingly good shots.
