A Polaroid and a Love Note

Friends. Just wanted to say a huge thanks for tuning into chasejarvisLIVE on Wednesday for our broadcast with We Are Augustines. Those guys showed us the love by opening up their backstory, their creative process, and a truly inspired performance. And you showed the love right back in spades. When I told the band that 30,000 of you tuned into the show on Wednesday–that they were performing to a virtual stadium full of people–they were speechless, blow away, grateful beyond words. The Seattle concert that evening (amazing!) ended up selling out, their social media blew up, the free song download link has been glowing red hot since the show aired. I learned a bunch from those guys, I had a blast, and, the icing on the cake: during the live photoshoot I got some really solid images. Will post those later somewhere.

Most importantly IMHO, is that the momentum you–this community–can create, the “virtuous cycle” kind of support you’ve showed chasejarvisLIVE, the format, and the guests, whether they’re emerging artists or established, will continue to make this show better. We’re doing real work to make this better and when you share it, you write about it, you participate in it, it evolves. And it just makes me want to do more. Huge thank you. Everyone = #winning.

A full audio-only podcast version of the show, downloadable here via free subscription in iTunes (or here via rss feed). A shorted edit of the show will get posted on my YouTube channel next week. Gotta tune in live to get the whole thing/real deal.

[To the few of you who nabbed the signed Polaroid images during the broadcast--like the one above--those should go out on Monday. Hit me on DM.]

    It was a lovely broadcast and We Are Augustines is a really sweet band :) I enjoyed watching + listening a lot, and I’m looking forward to the YouTube upload because I missed some of it :( I’m also looking forward to the photos!!

    Awesome – 30K+? Holy schnizz!! When something is beyond huge, my friends and I enjoy using the misspelled from of huge. This was HUGH!

    One question: Would you mind sharing a bit about your post-processing workflow? As those of us tuned in saw, you were firing off frames like media cards grew on trees. Your poor Mac is probably still trying to catch up. How do you whittle down? And how many “keepers” would you expect from a shoot like this one? Also, any chance you might share some insight into the presets used?

    Thanks!

    It might sound funny, but watching the live photoshoot had a therapeutic effect to me. Living in difficult times, sometimes you start to lose your motivation-you might think “it doesn’t matter how hard I try, the market is dead and only looks for the lowest bidder”.
    Watching live over the internet someone so passionate about his work (and also so committed on sharing), really was the highlight of the week for me. By witnessing passion, talent and creativity at work, even at another part of the world, I see that ther is a light somewhere, even if so distant.

    Anyway, as the japanese say, “Nana korobi, ya oki”-fall seven times, get up eight. I am ready to fall as many times as it will get-I will stand up again, no matter what.

    Thank you Chase. Really.

    Fantastic broadcast, Chase! Had it on at the day job all afternoon here in PA… rather than my coworkers asking to turn it down/off, everyone kept stopping by to see what all the interesting talk was about :-)

    Thanks for a great afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the interview followed by the live photo shoot. I didn’t get anything done all day but it was well worth it. So much respect to We Are Augustines and to Chase and his team.

    What kind of film was being used in the Polaroid 600 SE and Hassy?

    Watching from Germany the show started at 7pm… So it was quite late when the stream ended :)
    I really enjoyed the concert, the talks and the shooting and appreciate the enormous efforts you and your team make for these broadcasts. See ya!
