TRIVIA:
I was looking for a playground that still had seesaws, which were impossible to find in this helmet and kneepad world, but the producer was able to locate this park which still dared to provide a seesaw for the kids. The park ended up being, unbeknown to us, the very location where the male lead proposed to the female lead years ago.

very good video in a 48 hour time period.

[EmbryonicCrush]

Thank you!

[RenderingGlintFilms]

That was truly terrific work! But I do see a lot of dust on your Ground Glass. Might want to blow some air at it before shooting. :)

[EmbryonicCrush]

Thx, I've learned alot from that process and know the next film will be much cleaner due to a new [not used] lens and mindful care maintaining a clean lens.

[hufer95]

for 48 hours it's pretty good.

[ryanhartford86]

You need room tone... Everytime you talk it you can tell where it's cut...

[MrTedStickles]

Excellent film for 48 hours. 

[criostoir59]
