Some day
First, I get moved off the campaign of suck at work and back to one here I make sales, FUCK YEAH.
Then, Walking Theatre, where we split up to continue last weeks' work, and I go off with a few others to film some Miami landmarks we planned to, with the addition of catching the ZOO that was Greek Megafair. Well, the sororities were mobbed, anyway, because the tables were in a tight, inward-facing oval. The frats were near-dead.
We get Heather playing in thewadingreflecting pool, and head to the first-year's car to go over to Western. It's a full-on VW BUS. Original curtains, half-broken doors, and everything. We all kind of fell in love with it. It's a deliciously hideous shade of something where yellow,orange, and even bit of green meet and it is amazing.
We pick up some shots on Western, and then we go to get Upham Arch, driving up that little loop 'round Bishop Woods, parking right at the top of it. Right before parking, we pass this older couple on the sidewalk who are maybe a little older than our parents.
Naturally, we ask if we couldn't film them kissing under Upham Arch for a project?
Naturally, they've never heard of that particular Miami tradition, so we explain how kissing under the lamp means you're supposed to get married, and the wife just goes "Well, we've been married 35 years! It had better keep going strong!" And so we film as we walk up to the arch (and man, I haven't seen the area around the stairs up to the arch so green), and the sun is setting behind them and where I expected us to humor us and go for a quick little peck, I think we wound up inspiring a real romantic moment for them. Even if no other good ever came of WTP's current project, that would have made it all worth it.
So we head back to the van, pick up some shots in Goggin, and then I hold the camera out the window for the whole drive from Goggin to the top of High street, then back down to Pulley Tower (with a diversion past the frats on Talawanda) and we have maybe twenty minutes of some of the most gorgeous parts of Miami, and we've got some bits already of the less-than gorgeous parts that'll be contrasted. I'm looking forward to see how it all gets edited together.
Now, though, I'm enjoying a melon-syrup'd milk. It's a dagerously sickly shade fo green, but it's delicious.
