Ferndance

we do a lot of work here at the visual mercenary group and many times it’s of a corporate nature. we really don’t mind, because we try to put creativity into everything we do. actually this past year we’ve been pretty busy but haven’t put up any of our new work on our online portfolio, nor have we written any blurbs about the project here on our blog. so i’m setting myself the task of writing a post a week on our past projects before, as we all know, the speed of the internet makes them defunct. there are already a couple of promotional micro sites we’ve done that are offline. but i digress…

there are times that some of our projects are of a purely creative nature. through our association with the wesport academy of dance - whose website & blog we’ve designed and programmed - we have been introduced to many individuals and groups in the dance world. one of them is ferndance run by choreographer david fernandez. last month we put our two newly purchased sony ex1-r hd cameras (yes our credit card company was thrilled that day) to good use by shooting a short promo piece for david at the rehearsal studio at the mark morris center in brooklyn. we’re editing the video and will post it soon, but i just needed something to write about and thought i’d tease you with a couple of photos.now i know you’ll come back because you really should see these beautiful and talented ladies dance.

this past week we had the honor of doing a fairly large production shoot at the UN. visualmerc was hired to document the 5th annual South South conference. the shoot consisted of 2 HD cameras, 2 sound engineers and a photographer. i had the pleasure of shooting photos of the event, which culminated on friday with a performance of several acts from africa and asia.

the headline act was the Mizero Children’s Dance Troupe and let me say: THEY WERE AMAZING! the children are orphans and refugees from war torn rwanda. the word mizero means ‘hope’ and when you watch them perform, they really instill a sense of hope for the troubled nations of this world.
