After a long run of special issues for People Magazine, including Miley, Jonas, and High School Musical to name a few, the economy crashed and the whole thing came to a screeching halt. But when I got the call from photo editor Jessica Bryan asking my availability to shoot the cast of GLEE, I started kissing the phone. (not really) Anyway, after several trips up to the Time Life Building and a lot of help from producer Molly Murray and all our friends at FOX, we were able to orchestrate a full cast photo shoot, integrated into a absolutely huge production for FOX On Air and Publicity. That’s 14 cast members being shot an 7 different sound stages simultaneously. I was on stage one and was allotted 20 minutes with each cast member. The shoot went surprisingly smoothly and everyone was as charming and as wonderful as you would hope. Then the fun began. The compositing and the retouching and all of the post production on this was bananas, and to make matters worse, the deadline was imminent. I was up until 3am every night for a week!
