Earlier this month, I was contacted by a fellow Full Sail Graduate from the Digital Arts & Design program about a project in New Orleans. Usually at first, you start to think, "Yeah, right. This is just something that'll get my hopes up or I'll have to do for free." But the more and more of talks that went on, the more I realized that this was going to be something worthwhile.
I had to submit a budget proposal because there were other local companies submitting budgets as well. The decision came down to having the reference from the graduate who now works for the client. I was excited when we got contracts signed and money put into our company account. We set out on our 10-hour road trip to New Orleans.
Currently I’m in the hotel that we’ve been staying at for the past couple days. Today was our first shoot day and it went pretty well. It’s awesome seeing a new city, especially one with as much history as this place. For the next few days we’re going to be going to different parts of the city trying out food, drinks, seeing stuff made, watching music/street performers and meeting all the locals and fellow tourists.
We did run into one problem today where an audio cord got yanked on and it completely ruined the wire inside the cabling, which made getting 2 channels of audio from our lavalieres impossible. It’s not exactly a common cable either, so you can’t just walk into Best Buy or Wal-mart and buy one. We have to wait for an online order to be shipped, which by that time half the shoot will already be over.
Hopefully no other mishaps happen and the rest of the shoot goes over well. Tomorrow.. the French Quarter :)
