Greetings from Maine!

July 7: Drove 6 hours to Bath Maine

- 1 van, 1 pick up truck
- 4 cameras,
- 3 tripods
- 2 soft boxes
- 1 light kit
- 1 pod

That morning we realized that the van was missing the attachments that would hold the pod in place. This would mean hours sitting together in the vehicles, practically on top of each other, piled high with equipment. Mike actually built an attachment out of wood to solve the problem.

We left late and arrived in Bath at 9pm. On the way up we picked up another crew member off Craigslist. Dave called and said he wanted to get involved. Up until this point we didn’t actually have an audio guy so this was a tremendous relief.

The house in Bath is an old colonial style, 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 9 people. Cora, the renter, greeted us with open arms despite the fact that Cora’s 5 children were home at the same time for the first time in 3 years. Lili guessd she was from Dublin and Cora gave us a tour of the house, broke the door knob off the laundry room door and told a few jokes, then Monique cooked eggs and Lili’s brother Guy brought beer.

End: 2 am:
Crew call: 9am
