3 reporters
5 coffees
2 shots of espresso
3 scones (one from Arizmendi, two from Ritual)
3 memory cards
1 9-volt battery
2 cameras
1 hour on the roof of Adaba Capoiera Studio at 22nd and Mission, filming the sunrise for a time-lapse intro
9 seconds of sunrise footage actually used in the video
1.5 hours asking complete strangers to talk with us on camera
13 people asked
6 people agreed
5 hours spent rendering, editing and color-correcting today’s footage (Includes 35 minutes spent converting files from 24 frames per second to 30 frames per second because we neglected to synch our cameras. Again.)

This is an experiment. We’ll get faster.

Tune in tomorrow for the result. The time-lapse intro looks sweet.
