ABC7 Presents Countdown Chicago 2023: A Night at the Field Museum

To ring in 2023, I was hired by Soaring Badger Productions to capture behind the scenes photos and videos of ABC 7 Chicago’s Countdown 2023 New Years Eve opening dance production staring Terrell Brown, Cheryl Scott and special guest Roz Varon at the Field Museum.

Above is the Behind the Scenes video I shot and edited.

I say it every year. I love this crew and I love this team. And at the heart of it is a bunch of good people who get together and do really great work.

This production was the largest and most complex production that we’ve done yet. 60 dancers, a dozen makeup artists who work to turn those beautiful faces into animals, all in a story that was filmed and told across six sets and a 480,000 square foot building. And not only inside, we also took it outside to be iconic steps of the Field Museum.
