Behind the Scenes - Waltzing Across Dallas
Added 2024-01-20 01:32:01 +0000 UTCMr. Snapper and I spent Thanksgiving Day shooting footage for my December video for Full Reveal patrons. The big pitch was to shoot at four to six locations in Dallas with an interesting background, performing something of a stripping scavenger hunt. I had to get footage in various stages of undress that could be used to create the narrative, and I had to do it without getting arrested.
We had some challenges that morning. First, it was only 40 degrees Fahrenheit out when we left our house, and the high of 60 wouldn't be reached until we had hoped to be home to avoid foot traffic. Second, we didn't realize there would be a turkey trot 5k happening in downtown and Deep Ellum that would cut some of our preferred locations from consideration. Cops plus no permit equals uh-oh. Third, there were a lot more people out and about on Thanksgiving morning than you'd think. We expected most people to be at home in their pajamas, shoving bread inside turkeys and waiting for the big game. We had to do some maneuvering for footage.
Nonetheless, we had a lot of fun and we're proud of the end result. This is my short compilation of parts of the process.
