Couldn't ask for any better way to start off the day (other than possibly a little more sleep) than getting to ride around the river on a boat taking video of the wildlife. I could definitely get used to this. Our interview was on the Wildlife Conservation and the safety precautions of Dolphins within the Charleston area. The people were so inviting, and the weather was perfect-- but I spoke too soon. The next shoot was at the corner of Church and Market street in downtown Charleston. After Parking in the parking garage, we walked about 3 blocks to the destination in an overcast shadow. When we got there, about 10 minutes into shooting some B-roll, down came the rain. At first, it wasn't so bad, but, it just didn't stop, and then it started getting worse. Everyone piled into the Market area and after the streets had completely flooded, water started to make its way into the Market area. Seeing as how we couldn't just stay there all day- we did have more shoots, I volunteered to go get the car and bring it around so the equipment would not get messed up. After wading through water up to my knees, I was able to make it to safe ground and got to the car. Since streets were blocked off, Meagan and Tabitha met me closer to the parking garage and jumped in. It was one of the craziest things by far, that I have experienced. So, now we have two shoots to makeup on Friday, not including the one more we had to do today but also had to cancel.Although the rain definitely put a damper in our schedule, it was an experience I won't forget and definitely shows us how vital it is to have good weather/lighting for our shoots.
