Today was the first day of filming, and we're off to a good start. We got some shots of walking around in downtown Halifax, as well as lots of great material in Peggy's Cove. Through knocking on doors, and being led on a treasure hunt through most of the town, John got in touch with a fisherman who took some of out to get some footage out on the water.
Many people would stop and chat with us as we were filming, including the deputy mayor of Markham! Run halfway across the country, and you still can't get away from municipal politics.
We finished our time in Peggy's Cove with an epic battle with lobsters. I got lobster goo in my eye multiple times, while John dissected and dismantled his like a pro.
Overall, it was a very encouraging start to our film making endeavours. Even though the sun wasn't shining, and there was an occasional drizzle, we got everything filmed that we wanted, and we seem to work well together. Our spirits are high.
Tomorrow, we're back to the cove during the day, and off to our first 'on the road' screening at The Company House during the evening. The day after that, we drive to Quebec!
