Bear Island - day three
What a crazy rainy morning! Sophia had to walk 1/2 hour in the rain and got soaked! Everyone showed up a bit damp. Casey also brought a ton of medicine. Sweet Fern good for gut health (smells sooooo good), Striped Maple good for vascular health and Cedar, good for respiratory health and has lots of vitamin C.
Today we started with a smudge and then check in, journal and today tai chi stretching. Then…we got to work.
At 9am Huxley, Luke and Sebnem were off and running - the took lots of cameras and sound equipment and headed for the seniors centre where they used Luke’s grandpa’s place as a location. They reviewed their footage and then after lunch ran around the island getting more scenes filmed! The final scene of the day was a dramatic scene from the title of the film - cutting the wire (with an ax)!
Khloe finished animating her scene and then animated her drawing of a bird for Sophia’s film. Sophia finished her shot list and was on her phone trying to find her actor to play the grandma….Khloe, Sophia and Casey also collected costumes. And then after lunch Casey, Lisa and Khloe took all the props and costumes to Sophia’s house. Cheyanne was cast as grandma and was perfect! And Sophia had an incredible crying doll that became the grandchild. Some heart warming and heart breaking scenes were filmed today. This will be an emotional film.
Vincent was away today but will come back tomorrow.
There were also permissions to get, contracts to sign and posters and props to make. We even squeezed in a group photo shoot. SO COOL.
All in all it was a busy but FUN day. During check out it was interesting to find out how everyone felt! The consensus was : accomplished, good yet tired!
Time for a swim!
