So day two was amazing as well. We shot the indoor/outdoor church scenes, the buggy ride to the picnic, and the picnic by the pond today. Weather was awesome and the talent was even better. Sarah and Tom are doing a great job bringing the characters to life and at one point during the picnic scene, Mom started to cry from happiness over Sarah’s ability to capture Rachel’s emotional telling of her father’s murder. (quote from Mom: “I never dreamed my words would ever be spoken as if they were real!”) Here are a couple photo’s that can’t even begin to explain what Mom is getting to experience here and a picture of Connie Troyer who edited the book and was thrilled she got to be an extra in the movie. (Go Connie!)  As for me, I’m on informational overload and loving every minute of it, and best thing of all, I’m not responsible for any of the technical stuff!

First off, all I can say is Wow! We arrived around noon, Monday, at “Base Camp” and were immediately whisked away to the filming location for that day. The sound manager (who has a Doctorate in sound!) handed us some headphones and we started to watch this chaotic organism come to life. The whole crew was just buzzing around us, knowing exactly what equipment to get, exactly where to set up, and rarely questioning the managers in charge of the different areas. They were all working extremely fast, efficient, and safely, trying to take the vision of the director and make it a reality. Everyone we’ve met has been very friendly and very excited to see Serena. Mom is a little overwhelmed and just received another assignment of edits for Fearless Hope, so I’ll be trying to keep everyone in the loop and will try to post pictures when I can.
