Miracle: we finally went to Golden Gai as a group! We went on Monday, July 6 - I expected to go together to Golden Gai about a month ago, but I guess that's how these things to go. Anyhow, we went over to Golden Gai around 6:00 before the bars opened to get some b-roll. Shinya was really intent on getting overhead shots of the area, which led to several instances of trespassing. The b-roll I got wasn't spectacular, but it will have to do! At 8 we went back to Aces to re-do the interview with Yamashita-san (the last time I went, I wanted to be discreet so I didn't bring the tripod, and the audio was quite bad, so I decided to reshoot). This time Yamashita answered in Japanese, but I still asked the questions in English. Shortly after we finished the interview, Tanaka-san also came in, which was quite lucky, so we interviewed him as well. I took some b-roll of the inside of the bar and the outside.
Anyway, I don't think I'll be doing any more shooting because of time constraints, but I might go back and get some more pictures. I'm pretty much done with editing the first 2 minutes of the video (the parts in English and B-roll mostly). By the way, I like editing. I hadn't used Final Cut Pro in about a year, but after the media workshop, I've gotten right back into the habit of using it. It makes me nostalgic for my filmmaker days!
