Production Update 11/6/17
This past week with Dead in the Water, we focused on shooting more b-roll and trying our hardest to reel in some of the outgoing contacts we've made.
We were able to attend another pig and chicken vigil in Tar Heel, NC, home of the largest slaughterhouse in the world. These vigils are a great place to network with likeminded activists. This vigil compared to the one we attended before the semester started had far fewer people, which made it easier to approach the transport trucks to film the animals going to slaughter.
Paige and I were also able to get on the water and film some nature, foliage, wildlife shots. Paige took the time to experiment with the slow motion option on the A7Sii, which worked out great. There are only so many shots of cypress trees that we can use, so the slow motion option gave us the ability to film things like Spanish moss, boxing turtles, and birds in a new and different way that will be more visually interesting than plain tracking shots of the river.
Further, we are preparing for our interview with Elsie Herring on November 15th, which will be instrumental to our argument and the film overall. We have our water sampling trip with Cape Fear River Watch booked for November 15th as well. Sampling will be in the morning, and Elsie will be interviewed in the evening. It will be a busy day, but as the semester winds down, we wanted to stay as flexible as possible with scheduling.
With that though, we wanted to leave our schedules fairly open for this coming week given that Cucalorus will take up most of our free time. After we get through this coming week, we will continue to move forward!
