BCRF Gala 2013 with Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and Kate Hudson

On April 17th, 2013, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, founded by Evelyen Lauder in 1993, held their annual Gala event to raise awareness and money for a foundation that is fighting to find a cure for breast cancer. Hosted by Elizabeth Hurley with special guest Kate Hudson with another amazing performance by Elton John (he's provided entertainment for 13 years in a row), the night was a huge success raising over 5 million for the charity in one night! Axios was the in house production team providing an on-site broadcast PR broll package edit of the footage that was distributed to news outlets the next morning and picked up by various outlets including Reuters (video below). A recap sizzle reel is also in the works to be released soon!

Go Pro Hero 3 Snowboarding in Breckenridge, CO

The majority of this video was shot at 120fps and slowed down using Cinema Tools to get a clean slo mo effect. Shot over the winter of 2013 in Breckenridge, CO, it was our first time using the more compact Go Pro 3 with a bunch of different updates including a wide variety of shooting modes (24p-120p) and WiFi capabilities that allow you to set your shot and control the camera through your mobile device. It's a pretty cool feature but make sure you disable it from WiFi mode when you're actually shooting as it really kills the battery life quick.

Wide Open Spaces Sizzle Reel

Check out a recent sizzle reel created for an amazing new E Commerce flash sale tech company called www.wideopenspaces.com. The video itself entailed the process of voice over work, animated still images to emulate the feel of live action, with a motion graphic breakdown of the actual website and the products they offer for a concise introduction to the company, who they are, and what they do.

Wide Open Spaces  is without a doubt the single best place to find all of your hunting, fishing, and outdoor gear at the absolute lowest prices. They feature hundreds of unique brands and the sales constantly rotate so sign up and keep checking back as items sell out quick! I had the pleasure of checking in at their main headquarters based out of Austin, Texas during SXSW recently and was amazed at the progress they've made in just over a year of operations! Congrats to the entire Wide Open Spaces team on continued success and growth! And seriously...log on, sign up, and buy some gear to "Get Out More, For Less!"
