Outside shot
First shot of the day…where I had to make a basket. Yeah, that was tough!

Still filming that scene because I kept missing the basket!

Tammy Robbins from Community Relations and Chris Layhe (Chris Layhe Associates, Inc.)–our producer/director.

In between takes…

On camera! (Look at that awesome Sony!)

I’m finally back from St. Louis and I’ve got pics to share! These were taken during the filming of the videos for Shriners Hospital for Children in St. Louis. I had a wonderful time and learned so much about the film biz!

I’ve got SO much to catch up on, so the blog may be a little quiet this week. But I hope you like the pics! 🙂

You’ll be able to watch the actual video on Shriners’s Website after January 1. Woo hoo!

Books for my St. Louis trip

6 Comments

I’ve started to gather books for my trip to St. Louis and since I wanted to try different genres and new authors, I got some help from 1001 Books for Every Mood by Hallie Ephron. It’s a cool book with lots of recommendations, summaries and tidbits about, obviously, 1001 books.

So, for trip reading, I’ve got on my list:

A Confederacy of Dunces
Girl, Interrupted
Girl with a Pearl Earring (then I’ll have to watch the movie!)
The Historian (tried it and didn’t have time to finish it, but I’m ready now!)
Sideways

Anyone read any of these? My bookbag will be full. Especially since it’s going to have those books plus YA and MG.

I made the mistake of watching The Black Stallion over the weekend and now I’m obsessed with the series again. I ❤ Walter Farley. I'll be rereading a couple of those books on the trip.

I’ll be doing a Diary of a Debut Author video from Shriners and am excited about it!
