Extreme Home Makeover

We were asked to produce a wall mural for one of the Extreme Home Makeover shows that was filmed in Chandler AZ. It was a huge effort and required a team of extremely talented professionals.

I brought in David Smith as a second shooter, my partner Daniel Magallanes was our computer guru, Mighty Imaging did the print work and Decorative Edge provided the installation.

We produced a 14 foot long, 5 foot high installation that had the color panels raised off the background by two inches. the background was in three sections and all were velcro'd to the wall in precision positioning.

Carly Patterson, Gold Medal Gymnast, was flown in and we had her do her routine about 10 times. One stationary camera to get the routine, one moving shooter to "look good" on camera. We took the best shots from the different parts of the routine and collaged them over a single shot of the house. In the end, the background was a muted, slightly warm B&W and the raised panels were in color. A lot of fun... a hell of a lot of work!

The people of Extreme Home Makeover were wonderful, genuine folks who busted their asses to get that project done on time.
