After finishing
with the first scene at 10:30 am, we were ready for the close up shots
of Jenny, Geo and Emmy.

Emmy,
from Jones, describes for Geo and Jenny that the grime on their
bodies is from Houston traffic. |
Then we were
on our way to downtown. Saying goodbye to the Jones students for the
last time was sad, but we'll be hearing from them soon. Our first b-roll
was shot in front of the Bank One Center at the intersection of Milam
and Walker streets. As the students were getting worn out from the sun,
we shot a few more b-rolls around the downtown area, including some
in front of the Wells Fargo Plaza and the One Shell Plaza.

Plaza, one of the many recognizable names seen downtown, home of
the Shell gas station. |

The
sun provides great filming conditions downtown, but the heat is
intense in Texas! To think they're in a cold spell! |
Downtown was
a beautiful place, but the pollution was evident, even visually. As if
we were in Easy Breathers itself, we noticed the "grime"
on our skin after being in the city all day long.
 |
Evidence
of the daily grime. You mean we're breathing this stuff? |
We couldn't
wait to get back to our hotel rooms and freshen up. Mittsy Voiles, from
the Wisconsin DNR, along with Lois, Julius and Brian from the crew,
drove around in rush hour documenting traffic. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee
students, along with Ms. Sattler, Mr. Holmes and Jenny Pelej, went to
the Galleria. After some shopping, we went to dinner at The Cheesecake
Factory where everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It's been
a long, productive and exciting day. I think everyone is looking forward
to a little rest and relaxation tomorrow as we finish our taping and
head to Dallas.
