Well so far so good, i spoke with Tony and Andrew about the film and they were both realy excited and flattered about the idea of me directing a documentary film about them. It turns out they both have interests in film themsleves and both bothers have really professional digital cameras which is always a big plus. Tony the younger of two brothers has a Cannon GL1 and Andrew has a XL1. With them both having nicer DV cameras this is convicent for me, and saves me the trouble of having to renting muiltple cameras from the film department and convenent for those of you that will also be needing digital cameras. I haven't actually had the chance to speak with the two brothers face to face, however after speaking with the brothers over the phone i should be able to meet with them somtime later in the week.....other things that i've had on my mind surrounding this project are honestly I've never headed up such a big project before, which with anyother project i would be a little uneasy with this just for the simple fact that other people would heavily be relying on me. But with this project im so passionate about the subject and just amp'd on documentary filmmaking i dont fore see being side tracked any problem with this film. Other than that i feel like have a good group of guys working with me, and after speaking with other people and friends both in and out of the film department i found a couple of people that were also willing to to help with the project.
........Not a bad start!

i cant wait to see the final goods, i am really interested in how you will present the story arc, if it will dwell on the lyme disease, the person, and the triumphs and tribulations. make sure to practice your surfing filming , like setting up further ahead and have your focus ready, cause waves are fickle and i think getting this photography right is crucial, b/c you don't want to miss your best shot. have multiple cameras rolliing

Its awesome that they have some good cameras, i agree with john i'd start shooting as much surfing action as possible.. hurricane season is coming up in full gear (hopefully we'll get some dangerous weather :)) I live down at WB and know a lot of guys that know of the brothers - can't wait to see the final product. Seems like there's alot of angles.. I'm foreseeing some trouble getting our doc down to 10 mins, and I'm betting you probably have so much to tell you may feel the same way. It's a great story..Good Luck Buddy!
Kaitlyn brings up a good point. Me personally, I love to film hurricanes, but you all need to be careful and move quickly to get the shooting done. If not, atleast you can say your film is a extreme weather piece as well.
