It’s beginning to look a lot like…well, you know!

DP Kevin Hack preps the Steadicam for a sleigh ride!

Maybe it’s the plethora of 1-year-olds running around the world of Get-Kinetic this year that serve as a reminder of the 2009 holiday season.  Or perhaps it’s the decorative lights & bows that adorn the perimeter of GK’s studio exterior these days (thanks Tom)!  At any rate, things have certainly begun to take on an air of holiday-esque appearances over here on Fletcher Street for sure.  Not that we’re planning on marketing ourselves as Santa’s Fishtown-based workshop anytime soon, but here are a few of the jolly goings on in the world of GK these days…

DP Kevin Hack & Co found themselves back in studio recently, this time for the latest in a long-running series of creative collaborations for a local music artist.  The promotional shoot, which was and uber-festive two-day ordeal at Hill Theater Studios in NJ, witnessed the impressive transition of the studio into a veritable winter wonderland.  The holiday makeover was thanks in large part to the tireless efforts of local Production Designer Noah Grant-Levine and his band of merry art department cronies.  The endeavor also served as another successful partnership between GK and the talented fellas over at Backseat Conceptions.  The production even went so far as to find a few members of the crew decked out in total elfin attire…but we’ll leave those folks to the safety of their pointy-toed anonymity.

And if that’s not a big enough helping of holiday egg-blog for ya, GK staff producer Paul Irwin has just stepped into the role of Line Producer for the feature film “Christmas Heart”.  The original script, penned by Browntown Film’s John Charles Hunt, is a heartwarming tale based on the true-life story of John’s wife & Browntown Executive Producer Kathlyn Hunt.  The project will be in creative and financial development for the remainder of the year, with the hopes of a 2011 principal photography schedule.

So there ya have it, your very own peppermint-infused update on the behind-the-scenes @ GK…and be sure to keep a lookout for the mistletoe!
