'Twas the week before Christmas,
And all through the town,
Our members were busy,
Upstairs and down!


Downtown, preparations for the North American International Auto Show are in full swing, and the theatres are jumping. In the suburbs, plenty of film jobs are being shot.
Warren Wilson shares these shots from the Auto Show at Detroit's Cobo Center:

This was no walk in the Park!
Meanwhile, out at Kensington Metropark, BBDO Detroit's Cindy Thompson produced an HD video for the Chrysler Pacifica. Thompson retained the services of: Gaffer Pat O'Dea, Key Grip Ken Ferguson, Grip/Camera Car Driver Bill Strachan, Grip Joe Miller, and Script Supervisor Kim Kirkpatrick.

It turned out to be a productive day, despite temperatures near freezing with a steady wind...
Strapped into the back of the camera truck, IATSE Local 600 members Larry Trinkaus and Andy Hoehn get ready to go 'round again!
