Another day, another shoot. We spent all of our filming time in Peggy's Cove today, filming an important conversation on the rocky shore, as well as some running scenes. Bert got some great first-hand knowledge of what it's like to try and run with a glide cam.
Start filming something, and everyone gets interested. Sometimes it seemed like people were taking more pictures of us than they were the scenery.
During the evening, we went to The Company House, where we were treated like royalty. The staff were SO helpful, and somehow, without us having any idea, we had a little write-up in 'The Coast', Halifax's equivalent of NOW magazine or the Georgia Straight. Lots of people came to see us because of the little blurb (in the same sidebar as X-Men: First Class!) and what we thought would be one of our smallest screenings ended up quite the happening event with mostly strangers.
Which isn't to say there weren't familiar faces there as well. My old friend Greg Wagner showed up to make sure everyone knew who I was, as well as our extremely generous host Jane, and Andrew Classen, who displayed some of his paintings.
We came home to a wonderful dessert prepared by Jane, to send us to sleep to prepare for our next big drive tomorrow.
Tomorrow, it's off to Quebec City!
