In its continuing effort to boost tourism in the county, the Habersham Chamber is embarking on another photo/video shoot and you could be in it! The Chamber is seeking volunteers and businesses to serve as backdrops and ‘extras’ during the week of filming scheduled from Wednesday, September 28 to Friday, September 30.
A film crew will be visiting locations throughout Habersham County capturing scenes of people downtown and lifestyle shots. They’ll also be doing some drone photography.
“As the crew walks around from business to business, they will capture photographs of ‘extras’ in the background, or close up photographs of ‘extras’ shopping or enjoying lunch with their group,” a press release from the Chamber states.
My Mountain Moment
The filming will be done by h2O Creative Group, as part of the My Mountain Moment/Visit Habersham tourism video. The Visit Habersham campaign highlights the community’s numerous local businesses, beautiful landmarks, adventure, recreation and charming attractions in an effort to promote all of Habersham County for visitors looking to travel to the area. Chamber president Mary Beth Horton says the upcoming photo shoot will build on the marketing campaign’s success.
“This is a continuation of the award-winning ‘My Mountain Moment’ hype video, produced last year,” says Horton. “Following its success, and its reach on social media, this photo shoot will showcase more of our small businesses, people, and lifestyle.”
The photos and video will be used in marketing materials, including the Chamber website, advertisements, social media and magazines, to name a few. Those willing to participate can meet in the general locations listed below at the allotted times to serve as extras. The crews will be moving quickly in and out of various businesses and attractions, so be on the lookout for the film crews.
“We encourage you to shop around, hang out, grab a meal and enjoy yourself while they capture photographs,” Horton says.
