That said, a few traveling tips if you are planning on rollerskating or skateboarding to a remote place to shoot B-Roll material for your new film: Planning beforehand is a really good idea, especially when going to any new place. Doing research, asking friends who’ve been there, etc… for places that you want to visit is really helpful. Even a simple post on Facebook can result in over a dozen replies and provide new options for you, too. Before I got there I had a basic outline of where I’d visit. This was especially crucial since my stay was such a short amount of time. If you decide to rent a car, pay the extra cash for a GPS, my friend ***** recommended this and it totally made sense. Especially when driving in a country where you don’t know the language (or very little of the language), let alone the roads! Some of the street names may have a lot of the same letters even in the same sequence, so have a list of things you want to see is super helpful.
Bring extra batteries for your extra batteries, depending on your camera, the batteries may drain quickly due to the colder temperatures, so I’d keep a battery in my pocket to swap out when I needed to.
Bring a couple of lens cleaning cloths with you, when shooting waterfalls you may get spray from the falls on your glass.
Have water, layers, or extra jackets and maybe even a blanket in the car. And snacks. On the road you’ll never know what you may encounter so having these essentials can help get you through. If you see a sasquatch keep in mind that they smell very bad and have one has been captured yet, despite the many years of documented sightings and Super 8mm Patterson film footage evidence !
DO NOT FILM THE CREATURE. I REPEAT - DO NOT FILM THE CREATURE IF YOU SEE IT. LURE IT INTO A 7-11 OR A GROCERY STORE BY USING A BOLOGNA SANDWICH AND CALL A STATE TROOPER. IMMEDIATELY! AND DO NOT FEED THE CREATURE EITHER. LURE IT BUT DO NOT GIVE IT YOUR SANDWICH! This will be your most Oooh Ahhh life moment ever!!! bye.
