Lists are Great for Planning

The weather is hindering my shooting a bit. I really want good lighting outside to get more b-roll footage, but the past few days (and I believe the next few, as well) have been filled with grey skies and more snow. This is a bit of a let down, considering that- according to my Timehop app- three years ago this week, it was in the high 70s and sunny.  I have scheduled some interviews for the coming weeks and I've contacted others and am awaiting responses. For right now, I'm in the process of organizing the filming I've already gotten, and creating a list of places I want to include.

I've compiled a working lost from various "visit Ithaca" sites (including this pinterest board) and my own experiences. I will either interview people who work at these places or the places themselves. These are some of the areas I may choose to include (please note that some of these are technically in areas surrounding Ithaca, but extend from the atmosphere of the town):

• Moosewood Restaurant
• Sciencenter
• Treman State Park/Lucifer Falls
• Taughannock State Park
• Second Dam
• Ithaca Falls/Fall Creek
• Buttermilk Falls
• Beebe Lake
• Ho Plaza and various other places on Cornell Campus
• Various places in Ithaca College
• Sunset Park in Cayuga Heights
• The State Theater
• Stewart Park and Cayuga Lake/The Lighthouse
• Ithaca Commons
• Cayuga Nature Center
• Ithaca Visitor Center
• Cornell Lab of Ornithology
• Ithaca Farmers Market
• Greenstar
• The Art and Found
• Sew Green
• Viva Taqueria, Gorgers
• Ithaca Bakery/CTB
• Ithaca Festival/Streets Alive/other festivals
• Grassroots organizer

Another idea I'm interested in is to create a time lapse in some areas, like on the commons, the walking bridge at Cornell, or one of the hot trucks on campus.

Here's a picture of me off a trail at the Cayuga Nature earlier this year, when the weather was nicer!
