A Few weeks back we told you that we were filmed for a video competition and that it was actually nominated as one of the 22 films to be premiered at a big event in LA.

From what we heard, over 500 people showed up to this sold out event so that meant that over 500 people were going to see first hand who John Lauren was and our work...ALL AT ONCE!!

The event was fun and got some great compliments regarding our work.  Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Motion Sickness Productions for putting our video together and for the opportunity to show LA who we are.

So without further ado..."LOVE CAPTURED by Motion Sickness Productions" Enjoy..

Are you available May 21st 2011?!  Can you make it out to LA that evening?!  If you answered yes to those two questions, awesome...let's hang out!  Here's the story...

A few weeks ago Motion Sickness Productions approached us about possibly doing a short film about us for a NewFilmakers LA competition called On Location: The Los Angeles Video Project "What is your LA".  The video as described, would be no longer than 4 minutes and feature our company (both Lauren and I) as well as some of our work.  

Our answer?!  OF COURSE!!!! ;)

For the weeks to follow we scheduled some time for Motion Sickness to tag along with us for one of our shoots in LA and also a time for individual interviews.

Why not right?!  Actually, it felt a bit weird being on the other side of the camera =)

So what's what big news?!!!!

Believe it or not, their short film on us, out of hundreds, maybe thousands, actually got picked as a finalist to be premiered at Sunset Gower Studios on May 21st!!!

Here's the Press Kit:

That being said, we want to invite EVERYONE in the greater LA area to come out with us and see if Motion Sickness actually wins with their Love Captured short on us!!!!

Just buy tickets at the On Location: The Los Angeles Video Project website.  You'll also notice a little trailer.  If you can spot the snippet of us in there and describe where we're at let us know in the comments =)

This past weekend, after getting the chance to assist Apertura with an AMAZING wedding at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena Saturday, we headed off to Palm Springs for the first time in a looong time!  Needless to say, we came away loving the small little town and it's Mid Century Mod styling throughout.

I decided to go on a visual hunt to capture the palm trees that liter the streets of small town as well as more random stuff that caught my eye...so with the beautiful blue skies...it happened to be one fun little project =)

Oh and, I had to throw in some pics of Haydn of course! =)  Happy Monday everyone!

Powerlines are cool...

Haydn sticking her tongue out is cool...

But Haydn who always tries to grab my camera even with her broken arm wrapped in a cast, is way cooler =)
