chicago cubs

July 15, 2010 | Filed Under StillMotion

well, city #2 is done. the cinema caravan has traveled through new york city, washington dc, cambridge maryland, and now chicago. i’m writing this blog post from the bus as we travel over night towards the las vegas direction.

given that today was our last day in the windy city, we decided to spend it with some flare. with help from some of our friends at canon, we got to go to the cubs x phillies game at wrigley field. but not only that… we got press passes. AND got to shoot in the media box, right off the field!

we gave our photos and footage a miniaturized feel via several tilt-shift lenses. i love how by making everything feel tiny, it reminds me of how large-scale the stadium is. it also gives the photos the feeling of viewing from afar – even if you’re physically close. no matter how close we get to the players, we’re really only getting a small glimpse.

right at the beginning of the game. we had just gotten down to the pit and were so excited to be there!
