May 23,
2001 - Experiencing Houston, especially its pollution!
The crew dodges pickups and SUVs as they look for traffic jams to shoot
- not a difficult task in Houston.
The filming
of the Houston portion of Easy Breathers is almost done already! After
our usual breakfast, we were ready to shoot. The first location for
the day was right outside of the Houston South Division Police Department
where the traffic was horrendous at only 8:30 in the morning!
 |
Filming
took place at one of Houston's many congested interchanges. |
 |
The
actors simulated that the smog from traffic is bad enough to leave
a layer of grime on your skin and clothes. |
From our shooting
location we could see several different layers of traffic, including
streets, onramps and highways. With the scenery of downtown Houston,
Jenny Pelej, from the Wisconsin DNR, and I camped out in a grassy area
on the side, out of the way of cameras, crew and traffic. The students
from Jones H.S. were able to join us again for the taping along with
Ms. Sarwar.
 |
The
students from Jones and Marshall High Schools were eager to help
one another out. |

By 9am, Jenny
and Geo were ready to shoot, along with Emmy, our talent from Jones H.S.
As always, the Jones students were actively working with crew and Milwaukee
students to experience this rare opportunity.
