Well, we pulled it off! I just got back a few days ago from working on FIFA Congress in the Bahamas. This was a yearly international Congress for football (soccer) and I’ve been assisting Jesse Poleshuck to design a stage that could accommodate an Opening Ceremony and an official Congress meeting the next day. This is a group of 208 member nations (more than both the Olympics and the UN) that get together every year and vote on the rules and regulations. We were also asked to design the decor for the banquet dinner for the delegates afterwords. Everything was built and coordinated by Hudson Scenic and Hudson Theatrical which did amazing job pulling this project off. Their attention to detail was unbelievable. Take a look at some of the process shots and pictures of the Atlantis Resort here.
Working and taking pictures in the Bahamas was a lot of work but was also a lot of fun. However, I am very glad to be back home with Ashley. Paradise just isn’t the same without your significant other to share it with.
