Worms, Poison Ivy, Kayaks and Canoes, Oh, My!

Today the youth and teens returned to the park and shot video for their public service announcements.

Cheerleaders with worms, sassafras, a family canoe outing with a reluctant teenager, a nature party, hide-and-seek with a tree and real live fishing are some of the scenes that will appear in their spots (I won’t say too much more and give it away!).

We shot each scene twice: once with the FLIP cameras and once with the professional high definition camera.  Henry shot with the broadcast quality camera while the youth shot along with him with their FLIPS.  Everything looked real good!

Ta’Nasja and Jai’Elle arrived this morning with a script they created last night with the help of some family members.  It’s clever, simple and cute and was videotaped in one shot!

All of the scripts have something in them that is interesting, fun or different.  I think their peers are going to like them.

It was another 11 hour day and it flew by!

Kickapoo Landing provided the canoes and kayaks again for free. 

Jacqueline let us use her fishing poles, tent and cheerleader uniform (from when she was in high school seven years ago).

The ever present John, park superintendent, was there to get us anything we needed. 

Adele returned to take more photos and showed us the cover of the magazine in which we appear as a group canoeing!  It was taken in June when the youth had their two days of fun activities at the park.  The photo looks great! 

Rickey made sure the kids got here and did some videotaping himself while Ms. Pam was an actress in one of our scenes.

I enjoy working with Henry.  He’s calm and fun and a good shooter and has lots of interesting stories.

What a day!  I’m in heaven.
