Oscar Night at Sir Elton's Bash
March 8, 2010
Fashion, fun and flashbulb frenzy last night -- and I was lucky enough to be in the middle of another eye-popping LA video production! That's yours truly photographed right after interviewing Sir Elton at his annual star-studded Oscar bash. The eclectic celeb turnout included past Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Hudson, Simon Cowell, K.D. Lang, The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Tim Allen, Heidi Klum, Michelle Rodriguez, Olympic skaters Apolo Anton Ohno and Johnny Weir, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Ricki Lake, Betty White and Slash (wonder what they talked about?) Loved the sparkly, dark blue sequined shoes that Elton wore -- and I must say, Simon and fiancee Mezghan Hussainy make a surprisingly stunning couple. (Her engagement ring is ginormous!) It was also a kick working right next to former Spice Girl Mel B, reporting for British TV, and alongside the friendly team from "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." For some reason, they decided to bring Costco snacks for the stars to sample. You can catch my interviews on tonight's edition of "The Insider."

Just wanted to thank you for your steller professionalism last
week during our very trying shoot with Paul and Nora.
I have to say...that of all the shoots I've done....that ranks
in the top 3 of all time difficult shoots I've ever experienced.
As difficult as they were....I feel good about what we shot. Thanks
for all your hard work. Hopefully our next shoot will be much
easier...and they open the door the FIRST TIME.

I've known and hired Kurt for more than 10 years for both broadcast
and corporate projects. Kurt is one of my favorite camera
operators in the country and his team in both Southern California
and the Pacific Northwest are at the top of my list for production
crews! Professional, resourceful, creative and engaged
in making my projects successful are signatures of Solana's
work.
