The documentary just rode in the Krewes of Orpheus and Iris documenting the parades as well as attending and documenting the Orpheus and Bacchus Balls!
Now that Mardi Gras is finished, there are about a dozen one on one interviews and a handful
of b-roll left to knock out before jumping into editing.
The following crew is needed:
� P.A. -- Must have car/laptop.
� Sound Mixer -- Must have gear.
� Camera Op -- Must have camera/lights.
We are shooting HD 1080P 23.98. Ideal camera to shoot on would be Canon 5D or 7D but as long as your camera can shoot 23.98 HD 1080p, brand (Panasonic, Nikon, etc.) does not matter. Also ideal camera operator will have light kit but if not that's ok.
We've documented (25) Mardi Gras parades, (4) Mardi Gras Balls and interviewed about (50) NOLA locals over past 2 years!
