Frank Lloyd Wright - Oakpark Tour


Join Therese, Andre'and myself, as we take a video tour Oak Park. The highlights were: Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio, the Jerusalem Cafe', Unity Church, Frank Lloyd Wright's mistress's house and a half a dozen homes designed by the architect.

I gave Andre' the camera and let him have at it. He did great. Therese was a little befuddled by my lack of direction, but I assured her she would do fine and she did. Great job Therese.

Normally I script the shoot before I shoot it. That way I know what the story is. This time we shot, then I figured out the story. I took most of my cues from Therese's narrative. Working in reverse was harder for me, and took a little longer but, the shooting felt more natural and comfortable.

So it took a week to edit, and now it's going up on Youtube. I hope you like it. Click through on the jpeg above or the tags below to see the video on YouTube.
