Week 5

This weekend we were finally able to go up and shoot at Carolina Tiger Rescue. We were able to test out our equipment in the rural rescue. Kevin luckily enough brought a wagon that allowed us to efficiently transport all of our equipment through the compound to the different animals. It made it easier and quicker to move through the compound with all of our equipment and we could easily set up in front of the animals enclosures. Most of the animals were fascinated by our equipment (especially the boom and mic with the dead cat on it) so we easily had the animals attention which made it easier to film them. We got multiple shots with direct eye contact from the big cats that look fantastic. We are going to have to work on capturing sound outside at the compound because there is a lot of movement and sounds coming from other employees/volunteers and their radios. The big cats, especially the tigers, make a lot of noise that I'd like to capture. We will just have to re-work how we are going to capture a quality recording of the animals. Also, we are hoping to get an interview next weekend.
