Quote from Christopher Kilkus’s blog

“Urban Planet is a cool fashion retailer from Canada and this season they were going for a bit of a grunge style.  It’s always fun for me to shoot with these guys because it’s a different style than I normally do, a bit moodier and more dramatic.

I worked with the wonderful Urban Planet art director Ian Mclleland, and production was kept smooth and trouble free by Christine Kelly, and our stylist Kelly Brown put great outfits together and was a joy as always.”

You are hereby cordially invited to Team SuperCreative Headquarters for a night of Pints and Prints. The word on the street is that there will be a few VIPs from the Toronto Photography Industry attending. It will be a place where “SOCIAL MEDIA friends become REAL friends.” Please put in a bid. The proceeds will go to the next SuperCreative project, which will be a SuperMotion, scheduled to be shot around the harvest moon/Autumnal Equinox.

We are looking forward to a FABULOUS Summer/Fall 2010 in New York City. The main team is scheduled to arrive in NYC on May 15, 2010.  Our June bookings for the Fall 2010 Campaigns are currently surpassing our expectations. We are happy to contribute. The economy looks like it is rebounding.

What is SuperCreative?

SuperCreative started in the midst of a hard, depressing economic downturn.  We were looking for a way to inspire Photographers to produce some great imagery during these tough times.  In short, SuperCreative is a big stills creative for the motivated.  We offer a world-class production and all its support.  As a Photographer, you submit your pitch. There are no entry fees.   These productions are not all free.  You are required to buy some craft and pints for the crew if we decide to run your show.  What might you do if you had a truck load of gear and a stellar crew on board?  We ran four productions in 2009.  Angus did ping pong, Matt pitched pirates, Lee chose the tale of three bears and Finn rolled rockband.

Since we are on the front lines of photography production, we built a custom magliner roadcase cart. It mounts our 30 inch monitor and contains a hood with a duvetyne cover.  We built this digital cart so that our clients will be more comfortable in viewing images as they come in tethered. Since its introduction this season, it has been a tremendous hit with photographers, art directors, and clients. The initial design is credited to Andrew Easson of Capture Management and Production.

As the Miami season comes to a close, Christine Kelly Productions would like to thank everyone who made 2007-2008 a very successful, productive and safe year. In particular, we would like to thank Silvia from the City of Miami Beach Film and Print Division, Wesley from the Department of Environmental and Geo from Crandon Beach Park for their exceptional work in helping us with several large productions, most notably Tiffany & Co. and Tara Jarmon. These productions involved many large vehicles which required special beach access, parking and coordination. Wesley was extremely efficient in granting us approval for the exact silica (sand) granular gradient. In a nutshell, we donated 4 tons of sand to the City of Miami Beach for a set we built.
