MY PROJECT DIARY: Steve Casey

The Final Details

 

 

Here are some parting shots in different lighting with some details of the unit. Everything worked out as expected and it looks even more dramatic than I had hoped. We are now enjoying state of the art images and sound and it is quite impressive. The cobbler finally has some really nice shoes!

 

I want to thank Matt Berger for inviting me to do this blog which got me motivated to finally do this project. I want to thank my #1 man Alex for all his help and 13+ years of loyal service. Thanks to my son Bryce for helping with the photography and hooking up all that new technology. Thanks to all my industry colleagues and friends who helped out with advice and great discounts on equipment. And most of all thanks to all of you who jumped in on the comments and the thousands of viewers (5466 unique visitors as of this writing) that followed along “looking over my shoulder”. 

 

I have an open invitation from Matt and the FWWNetwork to do this again anytime I have an appropriate project and the time to document it. I’ll keep my eye out for something interesting.

 

Till then,

Adios Amigos.
