Trip Summary

Dinner
Originally uploaded by mfreyder

Alright. We have returned back to the office safely and have another full day of work under our belts. I figure it's time for the trip summary. We had a great time and the shoot went really well. We got a heck of a lot done in a really short period of time and the footage looks great (thanks Allan Westbrook). Here are some interesting bits of info from our trip:

615 miles round trip
4 guys, 1 lady in attendance
25+ cups of coffee between four of us in three days
181 jokes made at Alex's expense
180 jokes made at Alex's expense taken in good stride
1 crazy waitress
4 times I ate mexican food (or some derivative thereof)
1 crew member run over on shoot day
1 driver threatened within inch of his life on shoot day
40mins of HD footage for good ol' fashioned tv makin'

All-in-all, a successful trip. I left my house at 5:40am on Friday and returned home at 2am on Monday. And now I'm learning a bit about HD post-production this week and it really couldn't happen in a hotter frying pan (read: short deadline). So, I'll let everyone know how it goes and upload some samples of the spots that we shot as soon as they're ready for broadcast.

There are more photos for your viewing pleasure at my flickr site and Cory's flickr site.

enjoy.
