A Busy Independence Day

Bolex shooting a timelapse over Marlborough

This was the last shot of my 4th of July weekend.  These cliffs look out over Dickinson Creek and Roberts Road in Marlborough.   I forget who first showed me these cliffs, but this isn’t the first time that I hiked out into the woods with a backpack full of gear to get some shots here.  Back in high school, my friends and I shot a war movie in these woods.  It was called The Greenhorn Hero.  I don’t dare put it online at this point in my life.

But anyway, after a long and tiring weekend of filming, I packed my backpack with the Bolex, tripod head, hihat, a bottle of water and a bag of cherries, and cross the creek to the cliffs.  The sky was summer blue and the clouds were nice and puffy.  The shot ran for about an hour and a half.

Other than some timelapses around Marlborough, I filmed at the viaducts in Colchester, the skatepark in Hebron, and the boom box parade in Willimantic.  This was the last shoot of the summer for Hindsight.  I’m taking a break from shooting until September to 1) focus on other projects and 2) to raise funds for the next stretch of production.  I have 4,000 feet of film from this summer that’s awaiting to be processed.  Once I have the money together to process that footage, I’ll surely make a summer teaser to put on the website.  Until then, keep up to date by following this blog, on Twitter, or the Facebook group.
