A Visit to a Venue!

This morning, I had intended to go to the peak to peak ski lift, where I would have seen some incredible views of the mountains from a gondola. Instead, I opted to stay in for the morning and work on the film. As is typically the case these days, I ended up going with a third option that I had not planned on - touring the sliding venue! This is where bobsledding, luge, skeleton, etc. happen and it was by far the best option. I still got views, and I was able to see athletes practicing! Not only that, but we started out in the production trailer where all the technical work happens. The directors were running through camera shots and it was SO FAST. In fact, it was so fast that the director only actually directs the first few shots, then hands it over to the TD who basically clicks through 20-30 different cameras as the sliders pass by, and finally, the producer takes the ending as they are approaching the finish house. I got some great video footage of the work all happening, but I will not be able to post that until after work here is finished.

Afterward, I considered trying to get on the peak to peak lift, but decided I had better wait until I have time to really enjoy it because I'm headed to work soon!

I apologize for the picture, I'm not actually sure if I can post pictures of the venue, so to save my job, I will just go ahead and post this one. It's the view from the venue. ;)
