United Way – Jonathan Chapman

If you’re a fan of Cirque du Soleil, you’d love to see the youngsters at Circus Juventas performing, practicing, or just playing around! Jonathan and I put together a shoot with Campbell Mithun for the United Way non-profit, showing that we can do amazing things together. Over two days, we spent time on stills and then motion captures. Both versions will be displayed for their “Power of We” campaign. It was very exciting, involved some late nights, and more equipment than I’ve ever used on a shoot before. Everything went just delightfully and we got so many great photos and beautiful motion capture. The coaches from Circus Juventas were unbelievable.

I followed up the shoot by attending a live performance with my wife consisting of 24 acts buy 300+ talented kids. What an evening!! Not to be missed.

Crew: Gina Hessburg (wardrobe & prop stylist), Ashlee Ellert (hair & makeup artist), David Underhill (gaffer), Sev Pearman (grip), Joe Gallup (grip), Eric Schleicher (motion asst), Eric Eul (photo asst)
