Color Me Katie
Today we wrapped the first season of RADAR! Our final shoot was with Color Me Katie. Katie Sokoler is a street artist who believes that random acts of kindness can be infectious. She’s seen it first hand. After launching her blog last October she’s gained a global following, many of whom have been so inspired by her work that they’ve created their own.
Our final shoot day was spent placing shadows and thought bubbles throughout Brooklyn.
Favs of the day a Mexican Popeye in front of a laundromat and a poodle named “movie star” thinking about cats.
The day also marked a milestone for WBP – what started as an experiment almost 2 and half years ago has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last six months. RADAR marks a step in a new direction. One of which provides direct creative opportunities to the community that WBP servers. Finishing out the season with Katie was a great way to top things off.
RADAR SEASON ONE
As we close in on the final episode of RADAR season one, I’m struck by the number of amazing creative people that we’ve been able to meet and cover.
@ deep six studios with comic artist Dean Haspiel
We’ve honed the process over the course of shooting the first season. The footprint of RADAR is quite small. Usually, a crew of 4 shooting with digital SLRs (2 Nikon D90s which I have a love / hate relationship with but more on that another time) and some Chinese lanterns with dimmers and practical bulbs. Sound wise we’re using a tascam digital recorder, 2 wireless mics and at times a shotgun. I love the size and speed at which we can work, It’s very organic and fluid.
