This blog is part travelogue, part journal, where I will be documenting the many interviews, conventions & competitions that will comprise my overview of the ice-sculpting industry. From the garage geniuses to the gallery gurus, I hope to cover every facet of what makes ice sculpting not only an art, but also a lucrative business. I invite sculptors, vendors, fans -- and even ice groupies -- to contribute their thoughts on this booming industry. Ice: The Documentary is only a working title.
First official on-camera interview!!
So production officially started this morning! My first interview was with James Ottens aka the "Ice Wiz" of Crystal Creations in Anaheim, CA. James provided me with some great insight into the 'ice biz'. Since this is my first solo project I was a little nervous. Being the camera guy/audio guy/director/producer was a little tough... but I think I pulled it off ok. Hopefully my interview with Rex Covington goes just as well tomorrow morning.
Thanks James!
