recording weekend...

wow, sorry it's been a while since posting up here...been pretty crazy the last two days. The recording of the music for the videos was done this weekend, well Friday and Saturday; so we just came back from the hall, which is an hour away from the house here. The recording went pretty darn well, despite my attempts to destroy a really expensive microphone....short/long story, but basically I got some big feet that I haven't learned how to use yet......but nothing broke, thank God! Tomorrow we'll go back and do it all over again, except this time it will be filmed with all the fancy lighting and what not...basically a live concert, but no audience. It's gonna be pretty awesome from the sounds of things......although I only understand a fifth or less of what's going on most of the time! It's fun being clueless every once in a while. Anyway, just wanted to write something on here since it'd been a while, but i really need to go to sleep now, it'll be an early and LOOOONG day tomorrow.

location scouting

Yesterday we went location scouting for some of the music videos that we'll be shooting in Kamogawa, the town that David lives in. We went to three temples, the beach, around the city a bit, out to eat, it was fun. The day was quite cloudy, so that light stunk, and there were NO people at the temples, it was really weird. I'm gonna have to go back there to get some decent photos some time when there is decent light and people around. I kinda figured..temple = monks, but they weren't any! At least there was a cool bamboo forest that produced an interesting photo.

Today in Kamogawa it's been drizzling since I woke up, which kinda put a damper on my desire to go wander around the area and take some photos of our neighbors. I guess this is the most boring blog write ever....but I thought that I should probably write something on here since it's been a few days. But it's been good to have some downtime to get over jet lag and just enjoy the country that I'm in! I think we'll go to Tokyo tomorrow or the next day so I'm looking forward to seeing the big city and lots of new stuff. Should be fun! Oh, I think we're gonna go get some soba....noodle lunch!
