My cousin Mike Stone graciously posed so that I could get some shots of the video booth in action.
On Sunday we introduced an exciting innovation — headphones so that we could tell what was happening inside the booth. It was a mixed blessing. With the headphones I could operate the prompter myself and keep track of what was happening. The downside was that I could tell when they were trapped, confused, or acting crazy, whereas on Saturday I was blissfully ignorant.
Shipping the crate from Minnesota to California was quite expensive. So after we finished shooting (141 segments, total!) we stripped the booth for electronics, broke it down, and left it behind. I’m hoping that one of the other makers salvaged the panels… otherwise the Teamsters may have a chat with us the next time we’re in the state.
