Scouting: Intentional Futures
We stopped by to visit the fine folks at Intentional Futures as potential office location for the film.
They’ve got lots of wide open work spaces, were super welcoming, and suggested we could re-arrange their space for a shoot (which might be necessary to get the aesthetic we’re going for).
Scouting: Westward
We had the privilege of visiting Westward as a potential restaurant to be featured in our film.
They weren’t open while we were there, but there was plenty to explore.
Happy Hour 12/3 – Postponed to 12/17
We’re postponing tonight’s event until 12/17 due to travel and illness among team members. Many apologies for the late notice.
Cheers!

Sidewalk dancing, We Make Seattle style
We had a good shoot last night on Broadway. I can’t believe more of you didn’t come. Doesn’t this look like fun? It was! A few random people walking by even jumped in and showed off their moves. I love this city.
Thanks to Danny at Spin Cycle, the music/game store we filmed in front of, for helping out and and even playing music for us to dance to outside.
Filming this Thursday : Extras needed!
We’re filming this Thursday on Cap Hill and need some extras. This is your chance to be in the film.
This shoot is to capture the sidewalk dance sculptures on Broadway. They’re legendary symbols of creativity in Seattle and we finally got official permission to film them.
Filming update: 520 bridge and end of summer
Bridge filming: Last week Dan and I got up at 6:30am to get some magic hour footage of the 520 bridge construction. The idea for this particular shot was to capture being on a bridge which watching a bridge grow, which is an unusual site to see in any city. And as bridges are mega-scale making efforts, it seemed a worthwhile shot to go after.
Dan set up a mounted rig on my Civic, with a display monitor viewable on the dash. It only took a few minutes to set up, and then…. I got to rack up my GoodToGo Pass charges, with 10 consecutive trips across the bridge 🙂
The light didn’t co-operate – we only only had a few good moments of light. But I’ll pick up the footage from Dan tonight and see what we have. If it’s worthwhile we may give it another go.
