on filming

okay,
i like being behind the camera. i get to set the shot and watch others look at what is going on. i am learning with each filming experience.
laura's got a great ear for sound and angela's skill at getting people in front of the camera can't be questioned. i'm thinking about how to film that experience.
laura and i had our backs to the crowd walking across the street. i just can't walk up to someone and ask them a question. so, not paying attention works. people walked up to laura and myself and asked, 'are you making a documentary?' WONDERFUL! but they talked and didn't want to be filmed. one angry young woman said, 'God ain't here!'
there were many well wishers, 'good luck' and all that.
but, i've got to tell you that we have trusted in prayer being the work and then we proceed.
it makes my heart feel better.
i met a screen play (2 words?) writer at the belagio hotel - in front of the large pond/mine-lake. anyway, justin asked us many questions. and i didn't have any answers. it was refreshing to receive knowledgable information on better filming and thinking about shots.
