We believe in the power of storytelling through video, especially when it comes to celebrating cultures and communities. Recently, we had the opportunity to shoot video at Tempe Tardeada, an event which honors Hispanic Heritage Month and showcases the rich history and cultural contributions of the Hispanic community in Tempe.
Tempe Tardeada included music, dance, arts and crafts booths, face painting, bounce houses and food trucks. Mickey and Minnie Mouse joined the festivities, and we met a dog named Bingo. We weren’t shy—our camera got up close and personal with the singers and musicians, and we wove through dancers from the audience. We also shot time-lapse footage.
A significant aspect of Tempe Tardeada is its commitment to education and community engagement. We visited the booth for Arizona Barrio Stories, an organization dedicated to preserving and sharing Chicano/Mexican history.
