Yep. You read that headline correctly. We’re broadcasting our upcoming photo gig LIVE from our Seattle studio via the ol’ internet on Friday, January 29 from 10am to 6pm (PST, which is GMT -8). This is tomorrow for most of you, but today for some! This is a total experiment, but we need your help. Please read on.
The nuts and bolts: we’re shooting the album cover and promo materials for a great alt country/punk band called Brent Amaker and the Rodeo. Expect 5 men in all black; 3 beautiful, scantily/sex-ily dressed ladies; in a country-punk meets modern studio set. Very free form. Very experimental. There is no “client”. This is a collaboration.
How do you tune in to this new Chase Jarvis LIVE thingie? It’s easy. Just go to this url: www.chasejarvis.com/live at any time during the hours specified above.
From there, you’ll be able to watch the live stream from the studio. You’ll be able to see and hear the entire thing, soup to nuts. Watch the set building, the styling, the shooting, the digital asset management, the gear, you’ll even get to join us for lunch and some afternoon cocktails. And it’s totally interactive. You’ll be able to ask questions of anybody and everybody on set–all 20 of us–via twitter (@chasejarvis) and a live chat embedded in the url above. And please use hashtag #cjlive.
There’s even — you guessed it — a… –
…break midday where the band will perform a short set, just to whet your palette and keep the mood light.
The qualifier: this is in BETA. Scratch that, uber-BETA. And this is where we need your help. We need your participation. We think it might break, we think it could rock, we think it could be really interesting, but in order for us to find out the answers to these questions, we need your eyeballs, keystrokes, and your network of friends. We want you to ask questions via twitter and the chat. We want you to tell you friends to tune in and help us test out this concept. If it breaks or sucks, you’ll have helped us. If it’s a out of the box success (we doubt it), you’ll have been there first.
Here’s the rough schedule:
**all times are Pacific Standard Time, Seattle (GMT -8), everything is subject to change and probably will….
10:00am – 12:00noon Set building, talent styling, gear rundown
12:00noon – 3:00pm Full shooting mode, lots of options, experimenting
3:00 – 3:30pm Brent Amaker and the Rodeo perform a short set, cocktails
4:00 – 5:00pm Miscellaneous additional shooting, interviews
5:00 – 6:00pm Set strike/breakdown, interviews
6:00pm Off the air
Here’s our the band:
You’ll have to tune tomorrow in to see the rest of the beautiful talent 
Hope to see your tweets and questions in the chat tomorrow!

Absolutely great experience. Watched the whole LIVE shoot from start to finish. Couldn't pull myself away from it! Hope there will be another one.
Chase, this was fantastic. Thanks for sharing this with us wannabes. Great work!
That was great Chase. I got to watch almost the entire thing today. Learned a lot, thanks for sharing. Look forward to future streams.

That was incredible, Chase! I can't thank you (and your staff!) enough for sharing the experience with the world. I know there are many pros out there who guard their "secrets," but you keep breaking down the barriers, and now have shown EVERYTHING with this broadcast. You even let us take part in the process via the chat and Twitter! Mad respect to you and your crew!!! Can't wait to see what comes next!
Thanks so much for doing this Chase, I watched the second half of it. It was invaluable to watch you doing your job. Thank you very much and keep up the good work
Great opportunity to see you in action. Loved it.
This was great to see! I was only able to see part of the broadcast. Will this be posted as a complete video? I would love to see the whole shoot.
My favorite author, Hunter S Thompson said he "actually failed" at Gonzo Journalism because his concept did not actually successfully translate well enough.
This project DID.
Groundbreaking in more ways than we know!
Thanks Chase, a true "private" lesson!
Better than a whole semester at school…
Thanks again Chase for giving back to the community. Much respect.
Posted some of my own personal take-away on my blog.
Funny–I keep hitting the Live link in case something is happening. LOL.
chase a question here! with tedious preparations.. do you still need a lot of DI from PS or just minimal touch ups?
Thanks for doing the shoot in realtime…..I loved watching~n~learning!
Chase-
Noticed you made Seattle's top feed on Twitter for about 10 minutes. Congratz!!!! Unfortunately,I had no live feed on my end even when refreshing. Hope to see the next live shoot.
Also, is this "live" software and interface going to be available for anyone to apply to their sites?
I've done live shoots for the past year via BlogTV, but I love the Twitter feed on this. VERY COOL!
thanks a lot chase! that was even more informative than you might realize. it's like a those instructional dvd's. but with live feedback. it's nuts!
it was great that you had the time to answer a couple questions (including one of my own).
i think you got something unique going on here. hope to see more of this!
Chiming in here to thank you for the live feed. I didn't get much done on Friday because I was so interested in your photo shoot. I don't get much of a chance to attend workshops mainly because of lack of funds so I truly appreciated being able to see how a professional works. Thanks so much!
I hope you recorded this Chase… I didn't get to watch it live… I'd love to see a recording though…???
Man…I didn't get chance to watch it because my Internet connection at work SUCKS. Hopefully it was recorded and I'll get to see it.
the webcast of your shoot sounds like a great idea. having such a great following, i'm sure there are tons of people who would love to experience a "chase jarvis" shoot. and being able to share and show how you operate is not only a great idea, its a very generous move, showing you do everything you can to contribute to the photo community. i'm sorry i missed it, but i'm sure you got a lot of viewers. is there a location to find the video? thanks chase.
Would of loved to see this!
Hello Chase & the gang,
Please tell me there is a way to see the recorded video. Would you please email me or respond with how I can watch a recording?
