For the tenth year in a row, Solana Productions,
Inc. was called on to capture the action at the Palm Springs Film
Festival Awards Gala.
Solana Productions, Inc., was front and center as Halle Berry,
Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Jamie Foxx, Sean Penn, Drew Barrymore,
Daniel-Day Lewis, Barry Manilow, Nikki Blonsky, Ellen Page, Allison
Janney and other Hollywood stars descended on the Palm Springs
International Film Festival Awards Gala on Saturday, Jan. 5.
Shooting for TV's "Entertainment Tonight" and "The
Insider," Solana's two-person camera crews were in prime positions
to capture glamorous celebrity arrivals on the red carpet. The
crews then headed backstage for "ET" host Mary Hart's
exclusive one-on-one interviews with honorees.
At the event, Golden Globe nominees Travolta, Blonsky, Page and
Janney confirmed that they would not be crossing Writer's Guild
picket lines at the Globes ceremony, which has since been altered
to a news conference format without red-carpet arrivals.
Solana's multiple crews erected elaborate lighting for two red-carpet
positions and two backstage one-on-one interview areas. Solana
staffers also recorded the live feed of the four-hour gala awards
show.
Segments on the event were prominently featured
on "Entertainment
Tonight" and "The Insider" on Monday, Jan. 7. Footage
was also featured on the websites of both shows.
Solana Productions NW was
called by Comcast SportsNet to shoot player interviews and b-roll for
the return of Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics to Seattle where they
played each other for the first time since he left the Sonics last
season.
