This might actually change how animation is done.

Here is a great intro video that was done for the Charlotte Bobcats.  It uses mostly still images and then some video is added to add effect.  This was another great project that was created with the Charlotte Bobcats, Limerick studios, and Kent Smith Photography.  The still images have motion added to them to create the effect of movement.  Thanks to all who worked on this project.  Now, we need the boys to win the Championship.  Go Bobcats.

For those of you who are interested, this is has some great content on where things are going in the future.  Hope you enjoy it.

When the USA Swimming team approached me about shooting Cullen Jones I was very excited.  I knew of his accomplishments as an Olympic Gold Medalist and World Record Holder and had also heard  stories about how he helps kids learn to swim here in Charlotte and across the country.  He was someone I was really looking forward to working with.

My expectations were just as I had thought, working with Cullen was a pure pleasure. I am sure Nike is very proud to have him on contract. He is a rare talent with an infectiously nice personality, often hard to find in a person once fame enters into the picture.  I must also say he was a delight to see in the pool.  He swims with such little effort, and the passion in his eyes is unmistakable.  During the shoot he was so understanding and willing to do everything we asked of him, always with a huge smile on his face.The wonderful thing was we were never rushed to move too quickly, which is always a good thing when working with lights and a camera around water.  We started out with shots around the pool, then we moved to the studio to create some very edgy images of him.  Thanks Cullen and the USA Swim Team for a great day! I admire your talent and all you do for the kids around the world. You give the USA a great name!
