Hoop Convergence 2008

2008 Hoop Convergence HD from Groovehoops on Vimeo.

What happens when you get 50 of America's best hula-hoopers together for a week to share tricks, strategies and moves? The world's fist international Hoop Convergence! Here's a short video that I shot and produced for the event. It was a blast to capture so many wonderful performances on tape, and then interview everyone in beautiful North Carolina. I especially enjoyed have a collaborator in the project -- Stephan over at Groovehoops in NYC did the post-production work. That's the way it ought to be. I'm honored to have been able to work and play with so many great people. Enjoy!

HoopCon 2008

We've been in North Carolina for the past few weeks at the first ever Hoop Convergence. Try to imagine 7o of some of the best hoopers in North America coming together. It was an amazing experience, and I feel grateful for the opportunity to witness such a powerful moment in hooping history. We shot loads of video which will shortly be edited by Stefan @ GrooveHoops. Thanks to everyone who shared their stories, time and energy!
