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!

I can't wait. But for everyone that won't be able to view this or if something goes wrong and the live feed will there be a recorded version we can watch?
Very cool idea! Looks like I won't be getting much done tomorrow.
This might just be the best idea ever… I'm so gonna tune in! Or it might be the worst… but I'm still gonna tune in
I'll be tuning in from the UK,can't wait, but like another guy said, will you be archiving any of it?
Awesome, I'll be sure to tune in! It'll be great to see how another photographer works.
I've always wondered if high end photographers scream "take it off or you wont get paid!" at their models and clients. Because that never works for me.
Brent Amaker here. Hell yes!! Chase is shooting our album cover and you can watch it live. I think we're playing some music while we're there. This sh#t is gonna be fun!
Excellent, what an idea – I'm in!
Brilliant! I'll be watching when my classes aren't getting in the way.
YES! I can't wait. good times!
funny enough I did that a few times via ustream, but I dont have an audience like you so I am very excited that you do that. can't belive no one else has done this before. very cool.
by the way, "uber beta" is called "alpha"
Does anyone know if i am going to need to update my flashplayer to view this? I havent in a while, please email me at maestas.ta@gmail.com if you know
Any chance of attending in person?
My head is going to explode, this is awesome, I hope it holds up to traffic.
I'm in!
Wow! It'll feel like I'm at the shoot!
Wow! It'll feel like I'm at the shoot!
Can´t wait to see it!!! It would be even cooler to be in it, hopefully one day!!
Chase,
Looking forward to it.
If you and your crew need some technical advise or help, check out the guys at SHOW Studio. They do this weekly and have the technical stuff down.

Wow, like apple, always a couple steps ahead of the game. Very Cool! I wish I could watch, but I will be working. Can you get feeds from the iphone? Is there going to be a repost after the live feed?
love it! ill rush home to catch what I can tomorrow:)
This is a really, really, really cool idea. I can't wait to see how it pans out!
CHASE! Great idea, but you really should use ustream for that! It handles easily more than 10 000 visitors, they have great chat and best of all, they record the whole thing for those who missed it.
Get it as quickly as possible, it's free: http://www.ustream.tv/
In that way you can be sure it'll work out of the box!
Hey Chase, really looking forward to this. any chance in the future we can have this streaming in HTML5? so all of us iPhone/iPad user can watch this on the go?
Thanks
hey excellent idea, chase & co!
i have set my timers to synchronize and though it's a late night here, i intend to follow you for the most part, though i am also wondering if this would be archived for those poor souls who are in the wrong timezone
I'll be watching and so will my class!
Echo others in that I'd be interested in a youtube since I'm otherwise occupied.
Chase…your the Gary Vaynerchuk of the photo biz! Cool idea.
T_T Really, school?!?! You're going to keep me from seeing this! Argh…
This is fantastic. I'm really looking forward to it. I won't be surprised if it breaks though – I think it's going to be 10x more popular than you think.
oh, man, this would be totally awesome, except I've gotta go to an engagement party! Stinkin' friends and their getting married and things!!
Can someone record the stream and torrent it to me or something? x-D
I assume that you will be doing this again in the future? You had best, or I will be saddened!
leave it to Chase to come out with such a marvelous idea. This is such a great opportunity for not only amateurs, but professionals as well! Way to stand out once again!
Great idea!
Brilliant Idea. Its nice to see someone at your level not being afraid of sharing with the community. Will be watching!
I'm up and ready to go! I'll have some furniture to the studio at 8:30 AM for set design. Can't wait to get going.
Great idea! I'm in!
Been online now for about 4 hours waiting for the show to get started. Am a Nigerian Wedding photographer based in Lagos.
Very Cool… I am canceling all my meetings for today!
Chase,congratulations for the idea!!!
I´m going to be online during the entire photoshoot;)
Does anyone know if Chase is going to do any video about this photoshoot and this "experience"? It would be interesting to see all the work "behind the cene" of this "live transmission"!!
You made the top trending list in Seattle via Twitter. However, your stream keeps crashing on me…
Chase, you have to PLEASE have this recorded to view at a later time, my Job's firewall is blocking it
it would never play black screen only
phooey, my internet is way too crappy to watch this. I guess I'll just have to wait for follow-up posts
Bummer, I was excited to see this, but only got a black screen…
I'm watching it right now. Thank you SO much for doing this. It's really awesome to see your studio in action.
Will this video be posted somewhere? I missed the beginning!
post the video online please. I missed it and would like to see it!!!
Awesome, man!! Thanks for sharing! It is very much appreciated!!!
Upgrade that isight to this…

That was really cool what you did, Man! Thanks!! I've been watching the whole thing and it felt like a minute.
Add another to the list of names that would love to see an archive of this. Was at work so could not watch live. Thanks for sharing, Chase!
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.
Dave
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?
