Our last Hoo-Rah

Jenny:

What better place for our last shoot than the beach! We went to Horry County and interviewed The Hammock Man in Pawley's Island, The Shagging Hall of Fame on Ocean Boulevard in North Myrtle, and the mayor and a riverwalk keeper along the Waccamaw River. The Hammock man put us to work by allowing us, and any other person who was curious, to go behind the counter and help make the hammocks. He also made Tabitha, Meagan and me our own bracelets which we rocked the rest of the day at the other shoots. Our second stop was SO much fun! We did the interviews at the Ocean Drive Hotel (which already took me out of work mode because it was right by the beach and the setting we interviewed them overlooked the ocean and pool and all of the people having a good time on vacation)- well anyway, we walked next door to one of the bars/clubs where we were able to collect our Shagging B-roll. We got to watch a national champion dance, as well as her two daughters who couldn't have been but 16 years old, who were also so talented! I wanted to grab Meagan and get out there myself haha. It was a lot of fun and they were so cooperative and excited to have us there. I can't wait to get back and start editing :) The third shoot was a score too! The interviews went by so smoothly and they articulated everything so well that I don't even think we'll have to edit too much. Thankfully, we were able to get a tour of the riverwalk via golf cart. So what would have taken half an hour and quarts of sweat, turned into about 15-20 minutes of a nice ride with stops for B-roll.
We ended the day on a sweet note with some slushies from Sonic and headed back to the station. It's hard to believe that this whole internship is almost over and that this was our last shoot. :( Although I am excited to get back to school, I don't really want to leave here. I'm definitely going to make the most of our last few days here at ETV!
