(no subject)
So I got my MacBook Pro yesterday. *drool*
I have named her "The Precious."
I am deeply and unequivocally Smitten.
I got my cute little lavalier (sp?) microphones, and the M-Audio recorder, as well. All I need is a couple of additional flash cards, and probably a better technology backpack to keep all my equipment safe, and all of my large purchases for this project will be completed. Thank. Gawd.
Something fairly amazing happened last night. I met with my friend V, who is a videographer -- and a good one at that -- because, on a whim, I called her last week and said "Umm, you should go to the east coast with me and film this thing." and she said "Uhh, that'd be great. But no." - And then she called me back and said "Y'know, actually, that would be kind of cool. Lets talk." and then last night she said "This scares the crap out of me. I love it. Lets go."
So! The documentary aspect of this thing is not only going to happen, but it's going to be done WELL. It might not cover the whole journey - but it will at least capture the east coast portion, 6 weeks. And she might be able to meet me on the midwest portions, and possibly come along on an international leg or two if I can get some grant money.
My QRA is researching grants for writers. I'ma email her now to ask her to research grants for the filmmaking aspect as well. It would be nice to have some help with the funding.
Forward Ho! ;)
