La Cakerie Grand Opening

Today I was with my friend Zach (not the one from the pictures put up yesterday), shooting some footage of the grand opening of the new bakery, La Cakerie in Towson. Zach has contact with the owners and investors of the company and he was asked to film the grand opening today and asked me to tag along, so since I had another client postpone on me, I was able to come and work as a second shooter. It was cool, I got to get all the smooth artsy cut in shots while he focused primarily on getting the wide angle stuff so it was a great pair. The place is in a nice little part of Towson and if you have the time it is worth checking out, the food is delicious and they have great prices on everything. La Cakerie!

In addition to that, I am working on some photo edits for the charity event I did last weekend, I am sorting through a lot of them and if it wasn't for the hurricane I would have had them done a lot sooner but Sandy kind of slowed things down since I didn't have power...however here we are and they should be finished soon. Got some other things coming down the pipeline right now but I am waiting for things to flesh out before I go too deep in discussion with them.

Random Movie Fact: In the 1987 film Masters of the Universe, the reptilian henchman Saurod's throat was made to expand and contract by having the performer, Pons Maar, blow into a tube that ran from his mouth to the throat of his costume.

Ahh October

So October is here and the fall is starting to come out full swing. It is a nice time to go outside and enjoy the weather and also a nice time for video production. It has been busy busy busy over here, I feel like this week was non stop. Today is no different, I will be out at the Virgin Mobile FreeFest concert all day being a DIT/Assistant for a company flying in from LA to the event. It should be a lot of fun and I haven't been to Merriweather Post Pavillon since Warped Tour 08. Moving forward from that I have a lot of potential client meetings coming up, one of which should have been yesterday but I was getting pulled in so many different directions I couldn't make it out. Plus tomorrow night I may or may not have a promotional video shoot for a local musician, still have to get confirmation.

Before I forget I wanted to announce here that To Tony Productions has been selected as the official event photography for the 3rd Annual Dundalk Zombie Walk! The event takes place on October 20th from 2-6pm at Dundalk Heritage Park, and we will be taking pictures all day around the event. Also we will have a booth set up where you can see samples of our past work and also get some free goodies. Plus there will be tons of fun activities for the whole family. Mark the calendars and we will see you there.

Random Movie Fact: In the 2012 film Dredd 3D, Duncan Jones was offered the film, but turned it down, not because he didn't like the Alex Garland script (Jones said it was great), but because he had such a strong idea of what he wanted to do with a Dredd movie, that he felt he could not bring himself to take it on and not do it his way.
