Once a year the Little Smiles organization puts together an event called The Stars Ball. The Stars Ball is a black tie (optional) gala that is modeled after the Oscars. The only difference is that the actors are replaced with children who are much more important. These children in our region are battling cancer and other life altering conditions. For one night, the children are able to escape the reality of their conditions into a world of fantasy…. One where they are the STARS and where they are special and they are not sick or different from everyone else. The girls get beautiful gowns, their hair and makeup done and the boys are fitted with tuxedos. Then they are whisked away in a stretch limo and brought to The Harriet Himmel Theater to walk the red carpet. All of the guest line the red carpet to get photos and autographs of our Little Stars. This night is one of magic. It makes the children feel special and it gives them and their family a time that they will always remember.
We were asked again to film the Stars Ball again this year.We started the day early filming the setup at the The Harriet Himmel Theater. After shooting the the food prep and table settings we were off to film the BIG STARS at Pizazz Hair Studio and  Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon. Over there the girls got into their beautiful gowns and got their hair and makeup done by Team Beauti. After everyone got dolled up the kids hopped into a big limo and was escorted by firetrucks all the way down to CityPlace. Once at The Harriet Himmel Theater they where met up by Kevin, Virginia and Jason from WILD 95.5 Morning Show and handreds of their fans Here is the video that we did of the event. Our crew also did a Same Day Edit as well. Enjoy.
