The Longest Day - WPPI Video

Happy New Year everyone!

Some of the wedding photographers that I admire and strive to learn from were recently involved in a 24 hour challenge to create an online reality video for and about photographers. This reality show is the “appetizer”, if you may, for the 2009 WPPI(Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) Convention and Trade Show.

There were 24 photographers who were split into 2 teams, each representing a different charity. The charities are Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and ThirstRelief. The goal was to make a short film on photography and include a public service announcment for the charity. These shows will be voted on and the winning production will earn $3000 for the charity it represents, while the other production will win $2000 for its charity.

If you want to know more details please visit F-Stop Beyond. Ron Dawson, professional videographer, is the creator of this reality series.

FYI, I think you wanted to embed the code for the "Longest Day" video. You embedded the code for the F-Stop Beyond audio podcast.
