From Lilli's Request List…

May 31, 2023

Lilli Burril Gordon is the force to deal with when working with Rogue Swan – she handles the management end of things. I’m sitting on a list of about fifteen rehearsal images remaining from her b&w request list – color jpegs are given to Rogue. Her help there speeds things up a little. She usually appears in the show, but does not like to see a camera aimed in her direction. Well, I’ll fix that next posting. This is the first six from her last list (the cast portraits sort of took precedence).

From this posting, one can get a sense of how hectic it is catching fast movement in the tight rehearsal space. The lens covers from 28mm to 120mm, making for constant aiming, zooming in and out, etc. Sometimes I feel like I’m going to be lucky to end up with anything. The opening shot here catches the fun that this performance will be for all. I had t do some cropping, but it kinda works as a square.

This is a well coordinated lean moment…
