The Vancouver Internation Digital Festival, aka VIDFEST, recently hired Static Photography to photography their recent 'Charged Up' advertising campaign featuring several local tech celebrities. The project was a cool mashup of creative talents with concept and branding work being done by Mod7, design and layout by Smash Lab, and the photography by Kris Krug of Static.
"The Vancouver International Digital Festival is an event for the top creative minds working in digital media. Join visionaries from games and digital entertainment, Web 2.0, interactive design, animation and mobile applications, at this annual ‘must-attend’ in Vancouver, Canada. Get access to international business match-making, ‘big picture’ conference sessions on the latest trends and markets in digital media, a recruiting fair, high-level seminars for creators, designers, and producers, and loads of networking parties."
The advertisements ran on Wired.com and in BC Business Magazine as well as several newspapers in the US and Canada including: the Straight (Vancouver), the Stranger (Seattle), FFWD (Calgary), Voir (Montreal), WE (Vancouver), and Now (Toronto). The ads featured 5 successful local tech personalities including Jennifer Ouano (Elastic Entertainment), Lynda Brown-Ganzert (Karyo Edleman), Warren Franklin (Rainmaker Entertainment), the Tippett brothers Michael (NowPublic) and Jonathan (Mondo Spider), and Static's own founder Kris Krug (Raincity Studios).
Thanks to Kirstin, Wil, Kim, Krista, Eric and all the members of New Media BC, VIDFEST, Mod7, and Smash Lab who helped make this campaign a wild sucess... and see you at the Gala! :)
Kris Krug has done a
Kris Krug has done a wonderful job with these pictures. I'm not that good with photography, but as I was saying to my friend Perry Belcher, I recognize quality when I see it. That was a nice campaign, I wish I could have read more about it, though.

This is a great thing to put in your portfolio! I've only done an ad for promotional giveaways so far, but I do want to get to photograph famous people, even if they're local. It would be interesting if there was a campaign that captured a typical kind of emotion.
