Get this Google – GoogleOnMain was a SUCCESS! | Audience-Centric Storytelling

Welcome. Here is a place where I will be thinking, exploring, and chatting about storytelling, business, high-definition video production, new media, social media, web development, and even some community building. But this is mainly a discussion...a place to explore!

Get this Google – GoogleOnMain was a SUCCESS!

Sunday, March 21st, 2010 | Technology | Bobby Rettew

So I was asked to shoot aerials of the GoogleOnMain event and capture the tremendous turnout for the event. Here is a short part of all of the footage that was aquired during the event!

I want to extend a big ole “hats off” to Aaron von Frank with all of his efforts to bring this event to fruition. Aaron along with Russell Tripp at Infusion Web &Video will be putting together a final presentation/proposal to submit to Google. This aerial footage will be a part of the package.

Jake…sitting above all of the people (from 1000 feet) was truly a spectacle and made me realize if you have a vision and a passion, people will join in the community. I was only a very small piece of this awesome event!

Awesome Bobby, great footage. How beautiful it is to see Greenville from the sky at night. It is a beautiful city; and so are the people. Wish I could have been there.

There was a lot of planning and guesswork done on how many people would fit into each letter. The most surprising thing to me: how close people were willing to stand to complete strangers. Coordinating on the ground, it was great to see how enthusiastic, well-mannered and easy-going the community is. Hat’s off to Greenville for coming together on this. I think we could have tripled the number of people involved and not had a single problem

The wave turned out pretty sweet though I’m sad the red didn’t come through any brighter. This really is an amazing city we live in!

What are we going to do to top this?
