I’ve been a bit lax lately between work and moving, not because I intend on slacking off - but due to limitations in internet availability a lot lately. I’m sitting in a pub in the airport in Cedar Rapids, Illinois drinking a beer and burning time until my flight leaves for home. It’s been a brief but exhausting trip.

I came out here with Peter Kent another Vermont based filmmaker. Peter is shooting coverage of presidential candidates for a web based series entitled Walk a Day in My Shoes. The series is sponsored by SEIU, the Service Employees International Union. Each episode features a different politician working a day in the job of a union member.

We were in Cedar Rapids filming Senator Chris Dodd, (D) Connecticut, working at a Head Start center for the day. I was working with Peter, as a P2 technician and editor. We may be going to San Franciso to film Barack Obama and Las Vegas to film Hillary Clinton for the series as well. Pretty cool stuff!

I’m also finally finished unpacking so I’ll be hitting the blogging hard these coming weeks. Have a lot of testing camera and edit testing planned. I’m also pleading with Red for some Redcode Raw footage to test.
