What to say about our update. We have what we hope is our last filming on tuesday and this weekend we are digging in and make a quote by quote script. We really want to have this done before the interview just so we make sure we have all the quotes we need without narrating to get through the whole piece. This way we know what we are still looking for to connect all of the great interviews we already got. We also last sunday had a great conversation that helped us to find our vision for the piece. I think that it will not only be interesting to here about the new Hangar but also that it is going to be beautiful. The only thing is the title, it needs to be something more descriptive of the theater and the vision we have.

Our shoot on Saturday went well. It was a lot to handle, twelve hours of technology is a lot for me. I am worried about all of the shots we got as much as we could with the cameras we had but so much was going on at the same time. Our interviews were stellar. Peter, Bob and Cal were very articulate and gave us exactly what we were looking for and more! They are very passionate men and there viewpoints were very interesting. For the kids program it was fun to be back stage and see the moments of movement. I tried to capture them but as always it was a little dark. I wish I could just have a little shoulder lamp that would give me the perfect amount of light. What we still need to do is an interview with Lisa to fill in the gaps and possible redo Jamie and maybe even Mary Beth's interviews. We also might need some more man off the street interviews but I think we will have to decide what role that plays in the documentary after we have our outline done. I feel like we are in a good place. The next step is going through or film and creating the story and making sure we fill in any gaps ASAP. Overall feeling less nervous three days later. It was a great experience though!!!!
