Our TV crew leave again for Middleburg tomorrow morning at 6:30am. We have two jam-packed days of filming ahead of us. We have a whole list of interviews to conduct as well as a long list of shots that we have to get in order to piece our documentary together. It is crazy how mnay things you dont take into account the first time around, like lighting, time of day, holding your shots for longer. Documentary making really is an art. Along with getting together all the information you need to keep the viewer interested and intruiged, you really have to concentrate on capturing an element of beauty in your subject matter, the 'realness' of people and in our case, the essence of a small Karoo town on the truck route. Lets hope that when we pull all the strings together it will make a sturdy knot of facts, creativity and relevance.
