In November 2006, I went to cover the Dive Equipment and Manufacturers Association Trade show in Orlando, Florida for my other website - UWDV.COM. This was a self generated assignment to get my feet wet with shooting, editing and uploading each days assignment.
Here is a self assigned project I completed on a unique volunteer who gives his time at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport Oregon.

He drives 2 hours each way, twice a month to donate his time because he believes in what the Aquarium is doing.
Client: Light & Motion
Assignment: Product Demonstration Video for their newly released Bluefin HC7 Underwater Video Housing for the SONY HC7 Hi Def Video Camera.
Description: Light & Motion is an underwater housing and bike light company in Monterey, Calif.

All aspects of the project were done in the Solo VJ paradigm
