Quagmire

In the midst of my first semester of grad school, I took on this wacky project that I just finished. This is a promo video for Scott Holstein, a photographer I work with in Tallahassee.

“Quagmire” Photo Shoot Behind the Scenes With Photographer Scott Holstein from Carlin Trammel on Vimeo.

The video shows the final result, but here it is again:

Our Children: Florida’s Future

I’ve made a couple of references to it recently and now I can finally (officially) show off what has consumed most of my time the past few weeks.

I had the opportunity to put together this almost nine minute video for the Children’s Campaign. This video will serve as a tool to inform people in Florida about the need for better funding for children. The video is intended to be viewed on the web and will also serve as a video presentation for the Children’s Campaign Truth Tour 2008. This tour began Thursday, September 18 in Miami where the video will made its full-fledged debut.

A news release (that mentions me) has been posted here. The link to the Children’s Campaign video page is here.

I plan to give a little more background into the making of this in a future post. This was a fun piece to put together (even with the long hours) and I think it turned out nicely.

Obviously there were a lot of people involved, but I wanted to make special mention to some who helped seemingly just because they wanted to help me out:

· Steve for continuing to make my projects better with that awesome music
· Rachel, J.J., and little Tre for their awesome acting
· Byrdman for holding that light and making Tre (well, all of us) smile
· Courtney for use of a particular photo that’s just perfect

I appreciate it, everyone.
