Stars Of Hope Fundraiser

Saturday, June 22nd, 2013

Once again I provided photography services for the annual Stars of Hope event at the Pinellas Park theater to benefit the Stars of Hope charity, and this time I shot some video with my new camera, the Lumix GX1. 

It was a day long event that raised almost seven hundred dollars for this cause, the highest amount we've ever raised!

(all pictures copyrighht Magnum Arts. No pictures are to be used for any commercial purposes whatsoever).

In attendance were  C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Imperial Stormtroopers, Clone troopers and more, plus a recreation of the Death Star trash compactor set filled with foam "trash" for people to pose in.  

Below is a brief video using the GX1, the first video I've shot with this camera. I'm very impressed with the sound quality and the quality of the picture, in a difficult lighting environment.

We were very busy; R2 and Threepio attracted a large amount of attention!

Threepio and R2 contemplate the proper choice from the concession stand in this video:

Good friends, great costumes, lots of money for a good cause...yeah, I'd say it's been a great day!
