A Day Beginning at Five
We got up at about 5:00 am this morning… and made our way to Brooklyn in one of our lunar mobiles. Our goal was to capture some shots near the Brooklyn Bridge for our film Liars and Lunatics.
The roads were pretty quiet, considering normal New York City traffic. Definitely not deserted, but certainly not as many vehicles on the road. But hey, it was Memorial Day.
We’re not all that familiar with Brooklyn, so we bounced around on the cobblestone streets patched up with asphalt. We went down at least one one-way street… the wrong way…
We got the footage we needed in a park between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Saw a few early-morning risers walking their dogs or going for a stroll with a cup of coffee. Periodically we waited until a boat was going past on the river so we could get it in the shot.
Then we climbed back into the lunar mobile and headed north to Roosevelt Island. Got some more footage. Of the Chrysler Building. Of the United Nations Building. Of some more boats passing by on the water.
We’re tired. We’re ready to go to sleep. After all, we’ve been up since 5:00 am…
(May 31. Meant to put this photo in sooner….)
