Yesterday was another hot one! Even though there were thunderheads looming for a good portion of the day, the rain held off and we had a great shoot at a local vintage shop. The shop owner was super nice to open up the shop for us and was very helpful. We used 2 Panasonic (100b and DVC30) miniDV cameras to shoot the girls browsing in the shop and capture audio with a directional shotgun mic.

After we finished up at the Curiosity Shop the whole crew returned to my loft where the girls displayed some clothes from their wardrobes. We shot the girls with the 2 Panasonics and captured audio with a boom. The girls discussed the basic components of the lolita fashion and how one dress could be made into several different looks. After that the girls put on several outfits and put on a mini fashion show, which was very entertaining to say the least! Check out pictures from the Curiosity shoot here and on our flickr page!

The Curiosity Shop was our second shoot of the week, I'm sure you already had a look at the photos from Tuesday's shoot at the tea shop. Tuesday's shoot was one of the most important so far. After we filmed the girls having tea we returned to my loft and where the crew had arranged and interview set-up. All three girls perched on stools and were grilled with questions for several hours. The interview went a lot smoother after the switch to turn on the air conditioning was located! This interview will be used as the main source of information for the documentary.
