Sunday - A Film Crew

Sunday was also an early start, up at 8am to be downtown by 9:30 to meet the film crew behind this project. Getting downtown on time was a challenge in itself due to the massive bus route changes caused by the Sun Run.

The idea was to re-create a 1907 movie of street life in Vancouver. I volunteered to help with the event (mainly moving signs around) and of course I took my camera. Much of the project will be re-shot in high-def to mark the 1907 movie's 100th anniversary in 2007, but the Granville St. section had to be shot on Sunday at the latest.

It was interesting to watch this historic work come together and to be part of it, even in a fairly small way. It certainly gave me a greater impression of what the Vancouver Historical Society is all about. It was good to be outside and enjoying the glorious sunshine all day.
