News anchor Sonya Gantt with NBC affiliate WCNC will interview Sean next week for a feature story on the City Block Project. Look for the interview to go live on Tuesday, August 5th.

The City Block Project is a 24-hour photo contest, which Sean created and administers on behalf of The Light Factory, is held on a different block each year in uptown Charlotte. Learn more at www.cityblockproject.com.

The Hickory Museum of Art contacted The Light Factory today about emulating the City Block Project, which Sean created and administers on behalf of The Light Factory, in their town in the near future. We’re excited the project continues to get so much fanfare and participation and would love to see it spread beyond Charlotte, NC.

Sean’s “Monumental Tryon Street photo” project has been featured in the Charlotte Observer today!

The article, which is about the re-birth of The Light Factory, features Sean’s group project as a way to bring the photography community in Charlotte back together. The plan is to have 150 photographers line up along Tryon Street to all take a photo at the exact same moment and thus create a massive panoramic image – a first of it’s kind!

In case the Observer link isn’t permanent here is the article as it appeared online:

One of the many community projects Sean administers is the annual City Block Project, which we’re excited to announce is happening at the new Charlotte Knights’ home at BB&T Ballpark. The project, sponsored by The Light Factory, is a 24-hour contest among photographers that happens in a different block each year. Previous blocks include EpiCentre, NASCAR Hall of Fame, NC Music Factory and Plaza Midwood. Are you a photographer local to the Charlotte area?

Once The Light Factory hits the 50% mark we plan to send out this CGI image our team created to help visualize that we’re halfway towards our goal. Pretty cool visual, huh?

Rodgers Builders hired us to shoot the opening of the new Knights Stadium in uptown Charlotte last Friday. This video took 2700 photos and 70gb of memory to create – holy cow!

We’ve been having a lot of fun creating time lapses lately, and will be implementing some new technologies into future videos that will really knock some socks off. 

Continental Tire hired us to create a beautiful see-through truck for some print work they have coming up.

AdvanTech, a flooring product that withstands the weather very well, needed us to create a CGI splash image with one of their boards. Here’s what we came up with:
