On Location. (r.i.p. Girdler)



Int. Office. Daylight. 



Exterior landscape 'establishing shot' scenes shot riding on a small old school 2-man chopper (R44 Raven II) with a pilot as a means of going against the trendy 'drone' shots everyone in the world is using. Going back to the way Kubrick opened up The Shining- using a chopper. Thought about William Girdler the whole time, as he was the great lover of chopper footage to the point that he crashed & died on one during location scouting. rip Girdler. And damn, being on a chopper feels so much like riding on a dirt bike- bumpy and windy galore. bye.
