Project: eXfuze for VivaKids

Client: VivaKids

Involvement: Entire Production and Post-Production.

This was our second trip to the Dominican Republic for VivaKids. The first trip, just Mark went but because of the large number of ambassadors and volunteers going on this trip, Rick decided to have both Mark and Eric come down and shoot. With over 50 people on two busses we toured 2 new locations that VivaKids is trying to help as well as 3 of the schools that we had been to previously.

VivaKids is a non profit group that focuses on bettering the lives of underprivileged kids around the world. Their latest program is a food initiative, a food program to help malnutrition kids. For more information goto Vivakids.org

Mark shooting the Bump Films’ HVX200 with a wireless mic. Because of the “run and gun” way this trip needed smaller/lightweight cameras. 

Eric shooting with another HVX200 inside one of the houses that VivaKids helped build for a family just outside of San Pedro. Interviews with many of the volunteers was the backbone of the this shoot. Rick Cotton (right), one of the founders of Vivakids listens closely.

Here is an early version of the first chapter to the DVD.
