Annie + Mike: Chances Are...

This fabulous couple came to me with a rather ambitious idea for a love story video: shooting at the airport! Well, me being me, I can't pass up a chance to do something I might get in trouble for...but let me just say this--only in Utah could I get away with this! If it were LAX, well, 'nuff said.

Sooo, as it turns out, Annie and Mike have a really awesome tale of how they met and fell in love, and...it's "kind of like a movie". They had dating snapshots and a genuinely cool proposal video Mike took on one of their infamous flights together, which of course had to be included at the end of their story.

What they both really wanted to do was try and re-enact bits of their story on a Southwest flight, which of course was impossible, so my idea was to shoot a "re-enactment" of sorts, but instead shoot what we could at the airport with a feel that would be more like "moments before they first met" at the airport.

Hopefully the results were worth the risky business of showing up at the airport with a steadicam rig, etc. ;-)

Note to self: Airports are not the quietest place to conduct interview shots.
