Last week I was in Las Vegas at the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) convention. I made the mistake of getting a total of 9 hours of sleep the final 2 nights at home before heading to Vegas, in order to finish up my new website. I met my goal of launching before WPPI but paid for the lack of sleep the whole time I was in Vegas. I had such a blast hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones. I also spent time learning from some the best photographers in the wedding industry. My friend, Brian Hamilton of <a href=\"http:\/\/suite-m.com\/\">Suite M<\/a>, joined me on the drive to and from Vegas. We had a great time talking about what we were learning, sharing tips, and encouraging one another. I can hardly wait until next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #dddddd;\">168Project<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nOnce I got back from Vegas I had one day to rest to prepare for an all day shoot on Saturday. I joined a group of my friends from <a href=\"http:\/\/mosaic.org\/\">Mosaic<\/a> to film our entry into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.168project.com\/\">168 Hour Film Project<\/a>. While I was in Vegas many members of the team were working hard nailing down a script and planning our shoot day. The 168 Hour Film Project is based on a pretty cool idea. Each year a theme is chosen, and Bible verses are given out based on that theme. The theme for this year was family business. The verse that we were given was Genesis 37:3-4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented robe for him. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Once we had the verse we had just over a week to nail down a script.\u00a0 The 168 hours in the name of the festival comes from how long you have to shoot, edit, and deliver a final\u00a0short film, up to 10 minutes in length,\u00a0to the judges.\u00a0 We shot the film on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/consumer\/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&amp;fcategoryid=139&amp;modelid=17662\">Canon 5D\u00a0Mark II bodies<\/a>, which can shoot at 1080p.\u00a0 While I was busy filming on Saturday I did take a chance to grab a few behind the scenes stills.\u00a0 Here are a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rustinmichael.com\/blog_photos\/2009\/0221\/IMG_7104.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rustinmichael.com\/blog_photos\/2009\/0221\/IMG_7112.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rustinmichael.com\/blog_photos\/2009\/0221\/IMG_7119.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I will post the final film on my blog when it is complete and I have permission.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-fb-like-btn-wrap\">\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.rustinmichael.com\/blog\/2009\/02\/25\/my-crazy-week-wppi-168project\/\" data-share=\"true\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-action=\"like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WPPI Wow, what a crazy week!
