FIELD NOTES

November 5, 2020 — One of the few projects when I didn’t go on location — essentially setting up the travel and production plan ahead of time and then having the crew explore and shoot organically as they did the actual touring. Little bit of weather to contend with but nothing too severe. Great working as a small team across all aspects of the project. -IW
