Hey hey hey!
So far so good – no mishaps yet. Settled and shopped to supply the beach house, which will serve as our primary location and main accommodation.
I had left (on purpose) a couple of white and black over-sized tank tops at home. Didn’t think I needed them, wanted to be responsible and practical and not over-pack.
Now that I’m on this glorious beach on the Gulf of Mexico, I have changed my mind. Being one of the producers of a micro-budget feature film, I think about little things like not buying new tanks when I know that it is not too late for another crew member to bring them out here. Hey, they roll up real small… so if the DVD pick-up from the house-sitter neighbour hasn’t happened yet but it is still going to, it would be cool to include those. Hardly a production emergency, just layers of this type of clothing is proving useful.
After working on script revisions last night I was feeling the need to get out there and connect with the sea, so I walked down to the beautiful palapa deck which is in between the sea and at the pool to have my morning coffee today.
Suddenly I saw a huge flap of fish in the sea and a breaking dorsal fin.
And again and again, curving over and down… and another.
Two dolphins swimming by.!!!!
It really is true — I said to Chris, our hero-director — you’re just going to have to have the camera on you AT ALL TIMES, even when having morning coffee — to catch the unexpected.
The Unexpected can be a great friend to us no-budget movie makers.
