Thanks to so many in the College of Arts and Sciences this week, we had a great visit with Bill Frakes and Laura Heald from Sports Illustrated and\u00a0Straw Hat Visuals<\/a>. Bill and Laura were open to working with a wide range of students, so we had a full week.<\/p>\n

Studio Talk with ART 440<\/h3>\n

Before Bill’s evening presentation in the WPAC Recital Hall, he joined Nil Santana’s Advanced Photography class to reflect on his photo and video work in a three-hour session. Students were able to ask questions about journalistic ethics in sports coverage, lighting technique in his editorial portrait work and see some stunning images.<\/p>\n

James Leddy Boots Project<\/h3>\n

Then Bill and Laura visited Alvaro Santos, a local bootmaker and owner of James Leddy Boots for a short film project they worked on through the week. On Wednesday they did a site visit and got footage of Al at work in his workshop on Treadaway and then filmed an interview with him Thursday morning before the shop opened.<\/p>\n

The Advanced Photography students joined Bill and Laura again on Thursday afternoon downtown at the Paramount. We had a dozen pairs of boots that they would shoot with film and still cameras for cut-aways in the final project, including for most their first experience with a 5k Red Epic cinema camera.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
