Snow Day

Posted by Shannon and Sara Burns at 2:15 pm on Mar. 4, 2008.

Saturday was another early winter morning for the Pendragon crew. By 7:30 the van was on the way to the horse farm on which we had been filming the day before. By nine o’clock, the cameras were rolling. Although there are always risks and limitations when working with horses, the four horses we used worked extremely well. We received so much help from Sheryl and Betty, who worked with the horses, and even they were amazed at the horses’ cooperation.  

God provided a beautiful day. The sun shone and there was not too much wind, but even the warmest below-freezing temperatures can be bone-chilling. Early on in the shoot, we began passing out hand warmers. Almost everyone had warmers in their boots and gloves. One o’clock was lunch break, and we all headed into the house.  Lisa made chilly and the steaming bowls helped to thaw out our frozen bodies. After lunch we continued filming the horses, and we were able to complete every shot we needed. The whole day went more smoothly than we could have hoped it would. Filming wrapped up at a reasonable hour, and by God’s grace, the shoot was a big success.
