Beverage Director
Tuesday morning Ryota have an early morning video shoot. Camera crew picked up equipment at chestnut campus at 6:30am, pick up me and Alma at 7am and arrived at shooting location Mission Dolores park before 7:30am. Waking up early was not as bad as I thought. It’s actually pretty nice to get to see how the city is in early morning and feels you have a longer day to do things than normal.
Since January I have been documenting five people’s video projects making process including Christo, Alma, Han, Prum and Ryota. I have been either part of their team of production and document their shoots or arranged someone to do it for me. There are 15 mini DV tapes of footage so far. Finally I started capturing them from last week.
Ryota’s shoot was not very difficult. This is one of the two part shooting Ryota will have. The second part will be more complicate and it will take place on April 28. I realize during his shoot, my favouriate position in a video/film crew is documenting and in charge of beverage, much more so than directing, operating camera, reading light meteror holding mic. You can call me a beverage director.
