Today went ok. I struck a fair deal with the rental house and picked up a few small items. Then I met with my friend Dave and we rigged a makeshift car mount. It would have been nice to have a hostess tray but we made it work with what we had after adding a few new scratches to my Subaru. There is something to be said for grips who know what they're doing. Thanks Paul for lending me your suction mount!
By the time we had it rigged and lit we pretty much missed our magic hour light. But we made some adjustments and shot night time city driving stuff. I'll put a shot up in the morning, right now it's all being encoded by Mpeg stream-clip and is about 9% done.
Overall it would have been helpful to have a third person and a remote on/off for the camera. Lesson learned for next time. I must go and put the batteries on charge for tomorrow. The plan is to do some more driving stuff for Zac Barkhouse's new documentary about the Halifax Bridge Commission.
