Current and Upcoming Production

Last week we hashed out what really needs to be done to get the ball rolling and the movie on tract. Our meeting with Pro. Schindler was purely a positive experience, one in which our roles became more clearly defined. Bahati came up with a great production schedule for the next two weeks.

As you can see yesterday, Wednesday March 4, was our first shoot in a couple of weeks. There were no students on campus during the time of the shoot, the students had a half day, this made a huge difference. The usual chatter from the students was absent making it easier to control audio.
Our first shoot this week was suppose to be an interview with ECHS founder Alison Diaz. Unfortunately she was tied up with administrative duties, she was in a meeting, and had to cancel the interview. Bahati and I made the most of our time by shooting some b-roll of the main office. There were a couple of banners we shoot, a dry battery drop-off station, and an article about the school.
Today should be pretty exciting, we have two interviews, one with Green Ambassador Director Sara Laimon, and a student by the name of Tyler Garber. Sara is a very exciting person and has a lot of knowledge to share with us. We should be able to get some great ideas for b-roll from this interivew. The second interview is with Tyler, I do not know much about this person, all I know is that Tyler was part of the auditions and is a Green Ambassador.
