Wow. What a week this has been. I'm thoroughly impressed by all the progress on the film that's been made over the past week or so. Two weekends ago we all met in the dark on Carolina Beach in an attempt to film the sunrise. Sadly, it was way too cloudy for this, and instead the day turned in to a b-roll assignment. However, as this was the first time that all of us met our subject Rick, this was far from a wasted day. Some of our footage was hurt due to the lack of a polarizer, but we still managed to get some decent footage. Even more importantly, we learned how kind Rick was, and open and flexible with his time. Without his willingness to participate in our film to the level that he has engaged us so far, it might not have even happened. So it was a successful day in all.
That brings us to this Monday. I was extremely nervous going into this interview because, well, I'm not exactly known as being an amazing cinematographer or anything of the sort. However, it was all a collaborative effort and I think our interview wound up looking very, very nice on camera. I'm extremely pleased with how it looked visually. Audra was amazing asking questions and engaging Rick on camera, and I'm so happy that he was open with us, and we got some amazing answers to our questions. No doubt this will help drive our film forward as we now turn to filming other things. The rest of the afternoon was spent gathering more b roll, driving shots, beach shots and the lot. At the end of the day we filled up both memory cards and leave refreshed, but also excited to continue the task of finishing this film.
