Street Promo!
It was two weeks before the COVID lockdown and we had no idea what the world had in store for us. In the end, this promo for Central City Opera’s 2020 Summer Festival was never released and the summer festival was cancelled.
Shooting on-location at a place like Union Station requires a lot of hoops to jump through. From permits, parking, storing gear cases, setting up a keyboard and begging Union Station not to charge an extra $75 just to run us some power, we found that in the end it went smoothly and the folks at Union Station were really amazing!
Our principal talent and opera virtuoso, Jennifer Dedominici, was so perfect as she had to approach tourists, business people and a few “plants” who were friends of Central City Opera, and sing to them, ask questions and just get enough content to fill a short promotional video.
Cheers to DP, Brook Aitken, our two cameramen, Joe Movick and Sean Heraty, sound guru, Lincoln Terhark, the Marketing Director for Central City Opera at the time, Gail Brainstetter, and the fantastic Jeremy Reger on piano!
