behind the scenes | filming with the octopi

Last Saturday I was involved in a video shoot for Dancing With The Octopus, a multi-media project about women in politics. Working with director Sandy Mayzell and three dedicated interns, we interviewed about 20 people from all walks of life for a short video announcing an upcoming contest.

Here's the lovely Monika, helping me out with white balance:

aaaaaaaaaand .... ACTION!

Now the fun part begins: editing.

I'll post the video here when the contest is announced on March 1. Meanwhile, if you'd like to know more about Dancing With The Octopus, visit the website: www.dancingwiththeoctopus.com.
