Day 60

the shooting for this week's dvd is going well and we've all started editing portions of it. as the remainder of the week unfolds, we'll only have to plug the rest of the footage in where it belongs and be ready for the last night of mass production.

this morning at the basketball courts was fun. i helped kids spin the basketball on their finger and we all had a good time shooting around and chillin.

later in the afternoon, i met up with this week's speaker and we went to go do the interview for the dvd. we went to the top of the double zip line again and he gave his greeting and wrap up to the camera and then we both jumped off and i kept it rolling as we zipped through the trees.

it's hard to believe we're more than halfway through the second camp.

Day 44

a gut feeling has led me to post a few minutes before dinner starts. after the meal and the evening events, our three-man video crew is gonna finish shooting the big music video. i've been told i'm a camera operator for this so that's what i'll do. i just finished spending the afternoon putting together the highlight video of staff training over the past few days. it will be shown in tonight's q-town. q-town.. q-town...

we'll be working late so i might get back to add or edit this. this is the director's cut.

i have acquired an rei nalgene bottle. legend has it that this bottle, most recently left behind by my friend tim after his sudden return home to new zealand, had been owned by one of my roommates and, before that, by another friend here. this second friend had picked it up after tim had left it behind once before during a past trip or departure. rumors circulated that tim picked the nalgene bottle up during a previous adventure from another traveller. now it's mine. i've washed it several times, so stop worrying about germs because i know you are, and someday i'm gonna find out where this bottle had indeed been before tim.

this has been the perfect tangent to fill up the last few minutes before dinner. time to finish the day.

edit: just shot the music video. incredibly intense. goodnight.
