Time Lapse Shooting Continues Again This Sunday

Hi friends:

Today I shot another 5 time lapse scenes in lower Mount Royal Park along Mount Royal Avenue. The location was quite noisy, since this location is almost exclusively occupied by the local Montreal Tam Tam musicians who gather every Sunday to engage in a wild orgy of ferocious tam tam rhythms. I was carried away by clouds of pot smoke and hash smoke. My main center of interest was the Angel Statue up the very top of a large monument structure (See video). I was able to get some *very* good shots and I even shot some time lapse of the tam tam musicians giving their free concert-jam session to an adoring public (see video).

Unfortunately, the day's exercise came at a personal cost to yours truly. I received an $85.00 parking ticket courtesy the City of Montreal, because I was a few feet the wrong side of a pole. My car was part of a long line of parked cars who each received their punishment. On top of the parking ticket, I also lost my cell phone with all of my contact phone numbers in it. I had just put $50.00 on my pay and talk phone only Yesterday Afternoon, so that money is also gone ! As you might well imagine, my ancillary experiences while making Episode 2 have cast a long shadow across my personal enjoyment of shooting my series ! For now Ep 1 stands out as a much more enjoyable experience versus the utter misery of Ep 2's never ending financial and logistical pain and suffering. I do feel as though I am literally giving birth to something and that something is ripping at my seams !

Well, I must go back to editing the sit down interview with Bryan Clarke, so check out the video below.

later,
