day one: dancing in the streets...

It's not quite midnight and we've wrapped up the first day of shooting on Divine Manipulation of the Threads. I got to wear a three piece suit, filmed a lot of great exteriors downtown, and managed to get questioned by Federal police about what the hell we were doing. In this state of emergency and constant awareness, I'm not surprised that the "powers that be" wanted to know what we're up to. It probably helped that all of our IDs were very local. We're also very lucky that our tape wasn't confiscated... because along with a myriad of other rights and freedoms we've given up with the Homeland Security Act, the Federal police have a right to take you into questioning for just about any reason. With that out of the way... the new camera (DVX100) looks f-ing amazing. What a fantastic piece of gear! The pictures look like film. Just amazing... Or how about AWESOME (and I haven't used AWESOME in like... ten years, bro).
I'm very pleased with what we captured tonight. I think we're on the right road. Next time we'll try to avoid being arrested.
