production report!




This is a video production report of our trip to Chorpus Christi to meet the Lipan Apache tribe and the others helping with the renovations for the first museum dedicated to the Lipan people. It is in a "half-way abandoned mall." However, in my opinion, it was much more charming than most malls. It had a dollar theater with old crappy movies, a comedy club, a food court consisting of only two restaurants, a train store and now it will have a Lipan Apache museum/store. They have a little merchandise already there but still in boxes; coffee mugs, t-shirts, etc. Anyhow, the video is a bit long but I shot nearly an hour of footage on that little camera Ellen is letting us borrow. This video only consists of that footage.

I used to go to this mall all the time for training for a youth leadership camp sponsored by Rotary Clubs of Texas - I was a counselor there for a year. This mall always made me laugh, and I guess it's kind of bittersweet that the Lipan people are getting a museum there. I guess any museum is better than no museum, but like 10 people shop at this mall, so...

But, I'm excited to see your project.

P.S. - The silos you filmed near the end of this video was where I had my first car accident.

very nice how the radio harmonica blends with the train sounds at the end.
