Local Motion on the TODAY show

My new Canon 5D Mark 2 shoots beautiful HD video. In February I teamed up with another photographer, Marc Vaughn my cousin from Florida, and we shot motion of the Inn on the Alameda and at the Santa Fe School of Cooking as a test to see how this new technology works and if it is a service that can be offered to our clients. While there is a large learning curve and it is a different animal than the still photograph we felt like we ended up with some decent footage. Well today the TODAY show did a story on Mother’s Day Getaways and featured 50 seconds of our footage and a few of my stills of the Inn. You can view it via this link: Mother’s Day Getaways, our segment is 3 minutes in. If you have any idea what 50 seconds of air time on the TODAY show is worth you will realize that I have a very happy client. Is the mixture of stills and motion part of my future as a photographer, definitely. Will you see a major motion picture from me in the future, probably not. But you will see me integrating motion into my work where I feel it will add to the end result.
