Finishing up shooting week
Last week was one of the most rewarding weeks of my internship. The days were long, but I was involved in something that I cared a lot about. Since the cameramen are all freelancers, it gave them an opportunity to work as part of a huge team. I spoke with the field producers, audio producers and the supervising producer to gain a more complete picture of how the show works – at least the production of it.
It was really cool to see these chefs make competition cakes as well as sugar creations. Watching their impressive skill was inspirational. I don’t have nearly the skills that these competitors do, but it is enjoyable to watch and admire. After the last day of shooting, I celebrated at Keegan Gerhard’s restaurant dBar again. I tried the chocolate cake and fell in love.
This weekend after the shoot, I took a day and relaxed by first going for a run though Cherry Creek. I then checked out the pool for the first time and went to see the movie UP. It was so well done. I’m normally not one for animated films, but I enjoyed the unique concept and the characters. Today, I went to Boulder and walked around downtown for a bit and had lunch with a friend from Lawrence. I then attended Pride Fest in civic park. One thing that I can count on living in a big city is that there will always be a festival going on over the weekend. Pride fest was certainly filled with enthusiastic people celebrating in a variety of ways. Fun to see for sure.
