With sweat dripping down his face, neck, and arms… My friend
continued to film all the necessary shots in the midst of the sweltering heat.
As I’ve mentioned to some of you, I will be adding video blogs into my arsenal
of depicting all the best eateries and venues around
The first video blog is going to be an introduction/recap of
what’s been reviewed so far and what you can expect from Food ‘n’ Festivities.
No BS. Although this will be a production of my own and the writing/content
will be filtered from this peanut-sized head God provided me with, I must
mention that my two buddies are going to play a big part in helping with the
video blogs. Matt Brousseau, the friend I’ve known longest in this lifetime who
has been a cameraman for a local news station for over 6 years, will be
handling all the camera-work. Another very close friend of mine, Marc Williams,
who has a background in video production, directing, writing, and editing, will
be assisting in the overall production value of what the world gets to see.
With the first filming experience being this past Thursday
in the midst of the heat-wave, we began our video blogging journey. Here’s the mental image
you need:
- Me running around the city to each and every eatery, like
a kid circling the Christmas tree on Christmas morning wanting to open every
damn gift all at the same time.
- Matt, the mother, trailing behind me carrying the newborn
child (his camera), trying to gather all the best possible shots and make sure
everything is organized.
- Marc, the “take a backseat approach” father, carrying all
the bags for the family, sweating profusely, throwing in his two-cents when
needed, wishing the day was over already.
It was eventful to say the least, and even though trying to
get all the essential shots while retaining daylight was stressful, we made the
best of it. I’m very happy with the footage we gathered and I know all of you
will be too. I’m looking forward to doing it again next week!
