It feels odd that our first semester of the class is almost over. Its all gone by so fast! But, there is still SO much work to be done. Our first major interview went very well! We got a full tape (roughly an hour) of interview footage with a bit of B-roll footage for doing cut-aways. It was a long day. Up and on the freeway by 6am on our way up to Bakersfield to meet Stacy Macross, my friend and informant. Once we arrived at the house, it took us roughly an hour or so to figure out where and how we were going to shoot the interview. It took us some extra time to figure out how to shoot using Tin's mirror technique that he showed you all last week. It took a bit of work to get the mirror the right distance away from the the subject so we would have room to frame the subject in a manner that we liked. After that, we were off to the races!

We've gotten a green-light to film in Dr. John Walker's surgery clinic! The deal is that we will provide the clinic with all the footage that we shoot so that they can use it in whatever manner they see fit. This is much better than creating an entire separate film for their clinic. We don't have anything scheduled as of yet, but we hope to do a good deal of shooting once the semester is over and Tin and I have more time on our hands. We hope to be filming one of Stacy's botox sessions within the next month or two as well.

New pathways have been opening up for us on this project!! We're excited about where its going, we just worry about having the time to do it all.
