That Picture of the CEO is really well done. It is really hard to shoot in front of an aquarium and not get flash glare.

You are absolutley right. Actually I know several of the guys, they come up with the most amazing shots.

Yep. The way they did this shot was to use one light on the left side as close to the glass as possible aimed back at the subject. I would have also used a back light off the the right just so that the CEO's head doesn't blend with the black hole behind them.

But all in all a very nice shot.
 
If you do plan the meet up, I might be up for it as well. I've been waiting until Turtle Trek opens to buy my AP. :)

ETA: I bought my AP this past week - just couldn't wait! :smiley:

As of now I am planning on broadcasting live Saturday the 28th at noon. My plan is to tour the grounds give a preview of the attraction and share a review of the new attraction. I am super excited about this.
 
And so are we :) Not sure yet If I am able to ignore this cool initiative. From a new technology I would love to join, but I don't want to spoil my own first run experience in May.

--- Update ---

SeaWorld released a new trailer with - what i assume - real movie footage

Yeah it is part of the actual attraction film. The entire film has been digitally made using CGI.
