HighBall Halloween Involvement:
As previous participants in HighBall Halloween, art director/animator, Chavilah Bennett, and associate producer, Emily Rodenbeck, were enthusiastic for the opportunity to engage in a more active role. It is the community involvement and infectious excitement, shared by the event coordinators, sponsors, and public that particularly inspires Chavilah and Emily and contributes to the magic of the event.

What You Will See from S77 on October 27th!
Videos for the introductions to Nina West performance, Public Costume Contest, Costume Couture, and background ambient video providing textures consistent with the smoke, magic, and energetic aesthetic of HighBall.
Process: From Concept to HighBall!
S77’s commitment to collaboration takes place from concept to delivery, and HighBall Halloween is no exception! After meeting and understanding the vision of event coordinators, John Angelo and Staley Cook, Chavilah and Emily created a series of mood boards. These visuals include a set of compiled photos intended to communicate the emotional impact of the desired aesthetic: glow, magic, and the fantastic.

Completed mood boards provide another opportunity for client feedback, and with approval leads to integration of the aesthetic concepts into actual video.
