Shell Guy: Production and Teasing

Technical issues we have had: the tripod does not like to lock in place when the legs are widely extended and the camera does not like to zoom in very far. This has been a problem when we want to white balance. 




Fun we have had: Over the break we did a full day of filming at a La Jolla beach on the lowest tide day of the year. It was great being in one of the many environments where Louis does his shell collecting. Today, we went to his house and filmed him sorting through previously collected shells. We were also able to interview his parents.





What the immediate future holds: I have begun to log all our footage, about 3 hours so far, and have done a first draft of a paper edit for our teaser. I will continue to do this today in between Super Bowl commercials and before The Office starts. My goal is to have our teaser completed by Thursday, so that Donia and her husband, David, have the weekend to record some music to accompany it. I hope you enjoy some photos we have taken during production.
