What a week it was to end August! I was absolutely blessed to have all this work in one week but there was a catch. There were strange things revolving around each of the jobs and none of the jobs was anywhere near an airport so the clients had asked me to drive if that was possible. Well, of course it was but it was going to be quite the travel experience for me. I had to go through 7 states in 4 days, work 3 jobs, 4 shoot days and rack up almost 1500 miles on my Honda. Here’s the wacky itinerary with side notes about each job. I headed out Monday mid-morning off to Opelika, Alabama. The closest airport there is for kids who fly remote controlled planes and since I had no frequent flier miles there, off on the Honda. Met up with the crew at the plant where I had to play the Water Meter guy who stands in a pit of “Black Widow” spiders. Well, that wasn’t the script but when we opened the pit, they went scrambling, at least 30 of them. Of course, we went ballistic with the Spray and I never did fully jump into the pit. I stood kind of off to the side, one foot in and one foot on the pipes. It was scary. Got some good pictures. We knocked that out pretty quick and it was on the road.My next stop was West Virginia but no way I’m traveling all the way so I stopped in Greenville, SC. Got up early, hit the road and landed in Beckley, WV at Pyott-Boone Electronics. If you’re wondering, they helped in making the guidance on the Tomahawk and do components for the Military NIght Vision Goggles. These guys are Hi-Tech. So I get in around 2, we shoot until 6 and then break for the night. Now comes the good part. Up the next morning, get a good run in the Mountain air, then head 60 miles into the Mountain to the Hunter Peerless Coal Mine. This was an eye opener to the men who get total respect from me for how they do their job every day. One look in the eyes and you know what their life is all about. We shot outside the mine, I wandered in only about 50 feet, and managed to get done shooting about 4 that afternoon. What a wild ride to get there, seemed like forever but knowing that these guys ride 4-5 miles into the mine every day makes you realize you got it pretty lucky. Hats off to Hunter Peerless and all those that battler the mine on a daily basis. My prayers will be heading your way. It was off to Winston-Salem after that for a brief stop, oh yeah that wasn’t my shoot location, as I had to head into Virginia the next day. I was on the road early the next morning heading to Axton, Virginia, yeah I know,as we were doing a shoot in a Tobacco field for Altria, one of the big Tobacco companies. Got it all done early that day and managed to travel home by 9 that night. It was intense, good travel, quick shoots, I was on the edge the whole time, great crews, rocked the scripts which helped every aspect of the projects and all in all it was wild. I felt totally drained the next morning and slept like a rock. Oh yeah, there’s something else that’s going to come out of this trip but I can’t talk about it yet. When I do post it, you’ll know why. Thanks for listening and talk to you soon.
