Hollywood East here we come!  Connecticut’s generous 30% tax credit for making movies has drawn lots of film makers to our fair state.  The latest homegrown movie is Rio, the big animated feature from Blue Sky Studios in Greenwich (owned by 20th Century Fox).  Rio’s premiere at the Connecticut Science Center drew some big names in show biz and politics including former CT Senator Chris Dodd (now the Chairman and CEO of Hollywood’s MPAA), CT Governor Dan Malloy and 20th Century Fox Chairman and CEO, Jim Gianopulos.

A great event, with two showings of Rio for the kids at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and the Hartford Boys & Girls Club.  The kids also got a chance to interact with the visual artists who created the creatures in Rio.

It was a pleasure working with Kristin of The Ferris Group and Mary of Coursey & Co., both also based in West Hartford.  Rio is going to be a big hit…Sebbie, our 7 year old, already knows the names of the show’s birds from the Angry Birds Rio game!  To see more pics, click on “Click to view more photos” in pink below.

2011 New York Mets for SportsNet NY

Happy Opening Day!  Wonderful to be working with the New York Mets again for the third year…and this time in color!  The images are shot early morning on Photo Day during Spring Training in Port St. Lucie.  We’re the last stop on the players’ photo tour of all the media outlets and have a studio set up in the visiting team’s locker room.  The players are warm, friendly, and fun to shoot!  It’s a fast shoot with 1-2 minutes per player.  The first shot was at 7:45 am and the last at 9:30, so an hour and 15 minutes to shoot 60 players…definitely an adrenaline rush!  This year we went for a more serious set of photos but I can’t help snapping when the players crack a smile!  SportsNet NY integrates these images into their television video clips among other uses by them and the Mets.

Thanks again to Julie, the SNY producer, who’s been a great on- and off-set partner in creating these images and took a chance on us three years ago as non-sports photographers!

It’s Opening Day for the New York Mets at the Florida Marlins today!  Back in February we were down in that balmy state at Port St. Lucie for our third year of shooting portraits of the NY Mets players for our client, SportsNet NY (SNY), the “The Home of all Things NY Sports”.  David Wright, Angel Pagan, Carlos Beltran, Ike Davis, Mike Pelfrey…and all the 50+ guys were great as always.  Here are some of our favorites.  Go Mets in 2011!!!  To see more photos, click on “Click to view more photos…”
