More Lego League Video...

I've shot this fun, creative, energetic event for the last few years now, but it never gets old for me. The Museum of Nature & Science holds an annual event in Dallas called the First Lego League, and it's part of a nationwide competition where school children use technology to overcome obstacles. Very nerdy, in a good way!


For any of your video technical questions, I shot this using my Canon 5DmkII, a combo of the 70-200mm 2.8L lens and the 28mm 2.8 lens, mostly all shot at 1000 iso/30fps/2.8-4f, in-camera mic. Post was done with Final Cut Pro and a wonderful local band named Shibboleth offered use of their music for the background!

First LEGO League...


I don't know if I mentioned this already, but one of my photo shoots from last weekend was pretty wild. I was hired to shoot the First LEGO League competition in Dallas for its sponsors. It was a total blast!

The event consisted of 58 teams from various elementary schools from across Texas and Oklahoma. The teams designed robots from special LEGO parts to perform specific tasks on a playing field. It was an all day event, and it ended with a Super Bowl-style showdown between the final two teams.

I got so many great images from the day that I'll probably post a bunch more in a future blog. I really like shooting fun events like this. It would be nice if every gig involved such a great theme.
