California, Here I Come!
In the midst of the hectic building of our 3 fantastic(if I do say do say so myself) new homes for the MBA Parade homes in Richfield, I discovered something. I could really use some more video footage of some exotic setting for our big triple-screen production we are staging at our grandest MBA Parade home model.
We pioneered the main concept of using three big 10 foot movie screens and placing them edge-to-edge for one big 30 foot long video mural. At last years MBA Parade of Homes, we created our first version which received rave reviews from visitors. We really want to expand on the concept so we have taken the concept the next level. I won’t bore you with the nitty-gritty details….yet!
Suffice to say, if last years version made you “feel” as though you were in whatever location we were video shooting, this years version will make you really feel as though you are there. We are using lighting effects, music, and even smell (if we can figure it all out, that is)to create feelings unlike anything we have ever experienced in a theatre setting. In fact, this IS NOT at all like watching a movie, it is more like experiencing real life scenery. I am going to see a few California sights and I am bringing my triple-camera rig along. While I am in the Disneyland area, Disney has an all new major water fountain show called “World Of Color” and I hope to shoot that as well IF they let me.
If you want to hear about my California experiences, why not stop by and see me at Richfield’s Reflections Village this Sunday. I know it is the 4th of July, but I can still have these 3 homes open AND enjoy my festivities later. I will be having our 3 wonderful homes open from 1 to 4 this Sunday. All other locations are closed this weekend for the holiday.
Blessings,

As a final added thought to this thread, I just heard of a new ruling which the MBA (Metropolitan builder’s association) has just adopted for their (this) Parade Of Homes event. They will not be allowing any builder (that would mean Miracle Homes or any other builder who is in the Parade) to show Parade homes before the event officially opens to the public. It seems, they will allow private showings however at any time. I have been given a grace period of this Sunday , July 4 to end my weekend open public showings. We, of course are abiding by their rules on this matter and I invite you to keep reading my blog for further notice of next weekend at Reflections Village(site of the MBA Parade Of Homes 2010…there are also sites in Franklin and Pewaukee.) check the MBA website at mbaonline.org for more details.
