Shoot day 4: Hey now, hey now now - on the road again and heading for extreme weather
It’s Mike and Amanda’s wedding day so we have all checked out of our hotel so we can drive up north to the Fort Montgomery wedding venue, New Jersey.
The amount of kit we have with us is ridiculous and we can barely move in the people carrier. I currently have a boom pole next to my head, like a fragile pillow.
We made our daily morning quest in search of the good drugs and general accoutrements to make me feel healthy – almost 100% placebo they sure make me feel like I’m doing something. So I’m swigging back the vitamin water and chewing on the green tea anti oxidant gum.
Waiting for the rest of the crew I was glued to the lobby wide screen TV – there are tornado and extreme weather warnings for the states but I couldn’t ascertain exactly where. As I am realising more and more the states is a BIG country! Could deliver a completely different kind of drama on the ship
After finding our great Jersey shore location for camera three on ship sailing day recceeing the port was merely a formality. Thank God we made it down there. That short reccee has saved us a disastrous shoot! We had completely misunderstood the location of the port and the beautifully cinematic location that we sourced last night would have resulted in footage that captured in fantastic detail the Manhattan skyline but would not have a single frame of cruise liner in it. There would have been a lot of frantic phone calls on Sunday to Chris – “get in the car, get in the car, get down to the port”. Thank goodness cock up avoided.
