So this was a good day.
I got all the gear packed into individual production boxes which will make setting up so much easier. Between all my silver cases, the old pelican case and the new lighting case (which took a serious beating on this last trip I am good to go.
Lets talk about the case for a second. As cheap cases go ($79) it’s well made and good to go. Whats not good to go is airline travel. The plastic feet which are just dying to be grabbed when loading in and out were held on with rather light rivets. This broke on the first leg of the trip. So now all that is holding them on is the fabric that is it riveted to. The bottom of the case where the zipper is has been worn down from being dragged. If this case just stayed in the car or on the dolly when I bring my gear into set up a scene, it would be fine and it will be fine. However fo the next round of production flights I am going to have to invest in a pelican case fo the lighting rig and possibly for camera and sound as well
That aside I am all geared up. Shopping tomorrow and last looks on Friday.
North Carolina and Atlanta are turning into busts. I found a good story in Greenville North Carolina, where up until last year there was no hate crime legislature on the books. The Rabbi in Greenville is originally from NY and then went Cali. So his perspective of living down there should be a good addition.
Thats it for tonight
