Shooting, Day 4

The DP, our handler, and all our gear. We've been fortunate in our ability to arrange for before and after hours visits to museums and cafés. Setting up alone is a bitch, plus there's scouting, pulling focus, setting white balance, changing lenses, changing cameras, and lots and lots of shooting. It takes time, at least if you want to shoot more than the standard family vacation video. But what really sucks time is waiting for all the tourists to get out of the way. Nothing kills a period shot like Aunt Melba wandering through the frame in lime green pants and a USA Forever! hat.

Fortunately, and as you've probably noted by now, Karen didn't join us during shoots. I think she likely had a much lovelier time.
