Hi Pool Party / by Johnny Michael

We had a Hi Pool Party from atop our building’s rooftop.

Fun Fact: All actors were paid in pizza

Highlight: I made new friends

Props Used: Pineapple, Hi sign, Beach Ball, Drink Floatee

Note for Next time: Someone needs to jump in the pool

Thanks to my friends and new pool party pals for helping me make this. it wouldn't have looked this cool without you: Sam, Kyle, Alessandro, Sarah, Valentine, Camilla & Brandy — thanks for showing up, being up for making something fun, and eating all the pizza.

Not too much intense planning went into this, but here’s a little snapshot of the board I used to gather some thoughts and wrap my head around the project. When we got to the roof it was packed, I had a couple friends on board to help, but to really make the scene look fun and full of people, I had to fight and conquer a little anxiety to push myself to approach a group of kind looking people and convince them to be part of the video. The first group I asked turned it down, but luckily I found an awesome group of friends that were up for it — the offer of fresh delicious Neopolitan pizza didn’t hurt either.
