Pacific Marine Credit Union Slow Motion Video - South Coast Winery

Who knew bankers were such party animals?

Employees from Pacific Marine Credit Union celebrated the end of the year with a party at South Coast Winery in Temecula and made this great slow motion video. 

Another year and another awesome slow motion video from the employees at Pacific Marine Credit Union. This video was made even better since this event was masquerade party themed of their 2015 Holiday Party, which took place at South Coast Winery in Temecula. As a result, there are a lot of great masks, many of which were made by the guests themselves. 

I also provided DJ services for their dance party, more about that in this earlier blog post.

Price Philanthropies Holiday Party - Museum of Man San Diego

Uplighting creates a dramatic effect on the high ceilings and exhibits at the Museum of Man in Balboa Park.

Price Philanthropies held its annual holiday at the Museum of Man, located in Balboa Park, on December 27, 2015. The party was attended by staff, supporters and current and former members of the organizations Aaron Price Fellows Program.

The program gives opportunities for San Diego area public high school students to learn about their community and develop leadership skills. 

The Museum of Man is both a unique and beautiful space to hold an event. With it’s concrete floors, high ceilings and towering exhibits, it’s a feast for both the ears and eyes. In fact, since I was playing an open format set of music, I slipped in a few acoustic tracks just to hear the sound of a raw voice filling up the entire front section of the facility.

Also, this space is made for uplighting and no event should go without it.
