I had a great time photographing a taping of JoJo’s Dreamcart this weekend. JoJo’s Dreamcart is a children’s cable access television show that is filmed at SCAT in Somerville, MA. I was there to document the set and lighting design for the Special Effects episode, and apparently to have a ton of fun taking photos during the filming
I got to hang out in the control room with the sound and video guys during a portion of the filming.
On each episode, kids are guests on the show and learn how to achieve their dreams. Here is JoJo and the cast getting ready to film a song.
Cameras on, enthusiastic singing!

The kids on the show were fun and super talented. They were also patient when the cameras weren’t rolling!

JoJo and Ben joking with the kids.
Ben made this mask for one of the kids to wear on the show – it was awesome. It reminded me of Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi, one of my favorite movies ever.
For the Special Effects episode, the crew set up a green screen for JoJo and the kids to play on. I can’t wait to see the episode to see what they do with it!
