Opera at Sleepy Ridge...

This is the raw, roughly 1-1/2 minute clip of an aria performance I caught while filming material for a promo video I produced for Sleepy Ridge Weddings. Unbeknownst to me, the performer happened to be the father of the bride, and an opera singer from France, no less!

I was literally running up the stairs with a heavy Steadicam rig to the 3rd floor (I had just finished shooting exteriors) when I heard this powerful voice belting out an incredible aria. I only wish I could've caught all of it, but as these things happen at weddings, there wasn't any warning, and sadly, there was no professional videographer on hand to capture the moment...but I'm glad I was able to catch what I did.
