100th Grey Cup Festival - Day One

For my documentary class we were involved with the 100th Grey Cup Festival and had the chance to shoot at the many events during the 10 day festival.

On the first day of the festival I drove to Toronto with Myriam Lublink and Gail Paquette (fellow classmates) in the school vehicle, and shot at the Rushes Football Film Festival Opening Night at the Scotiabank Theatre in downtown Toronto.

After speaking with the festivals reps we, as a group, decided that I'd shoot stills and the other two would shoot video.  This was a great experience and I can't wait to work with these two women again.
