Oxford Mississippi Double Decker Festival -Promotional Reel

Here's the new promotional reel for the Double Decker Festival in Oxford Mississippi. The Oxford Convention & Visitors Bureau created the festival to celebrate living in the South, with small town events in their downtown town square, the festival has grown in attendance to over 60,000 people in recent years, bringing more money to the local economy, helping businesses attract new customers, and offering the residents of Oxford a world class event in their own backyard. Oxford is home to authors like John Faulkner & John Grisham, and a host of celebrities with roots in Mississippi. The goal for this reel was to show the festival highlights, family friendly activities, music and food in a fun way with an indie film style.

Fuel-Short Inspirational Film-Memphis Photographers - Memphis Indie Film

I recently shot this film on the Canon 5d Mark II for my friend Brian Albrecht at Hope Church in Memphis. Brian produced, directed and edited the project, Clay & Dan at Hope teamed up with us on the production, camera, lighting, talent direction and Dan offered his amazing talents for the final editing. I used a Canon 70-200mm IS 2.8 lens, and a Canon 24-105mm IS 4.0 lens. We shot on a dark soundstage using one key light and a small backfill light for just a little separation. After effects were used in Final Cut Pro to give a bit more of a film look. Hope you enjoy it and get some inspiration too! Photo by Michael Allen.
Production Budget $1500
