The green screen for Lines Ballet

Bringing in the green layer on the floor for the Lines Ballet shoot. That's editor, Tim Hahn on the left looking tired.

Update on latest!

Kate here with news from a busy few months. We've shot two more dance videos: Lines Ballet featuring Princess Grace winners Corey Scott-Gilbert and Meredith Webster, and Bboys, featuring the legendary Bboys, Crumbs and Ruen. Its been a real honor to work with such talented dancers, and the footage looks great!

Particularly memorable from our shoots were the green screen days. Our green layer on the sprung floor for Corey and Meredith literally ate their dance shoes, and required repair with green tape after every take. Our setup for getting shots from below the Bboys involved having them perform on a layer of very thick plexiglass, with a camera below and a green sheet above. (They are impressive from every angle.)

The crews were amazing and wonderful and flexible and hard working, and I am lucky to work with each of them.

Edits are underway while I have squeezed in trips to Colorado, Utah, New York, and Vancouver for a couple days of the Olympics! Never a dull moment, but I do fear boredom...
