smashing

You know you are back in rural Pennsylvania when you are driving around and you see a buggy. But in this case it wasn't just one and it wasn't the typical Amish horse-drawn affair- it was the Horseless Carriage Club which consisted of dozens of antique autos convened in the parking lot of a hotel which we happened upon when geting lost on our way to a diner! You also know you are home when you hear the rumble of a truck in the yard. 
A truck that is here to take away the cars we used in the film. Take the crashed cars away to the land of....DEMOLITION DERBY! Ironically, when we had so much trouble getting cars to crash in the film which led us to using our own half working cars, we came across many people offering us shells of cars that were used in demolition derby races. It seems fitting that our film cars will now perpetually be smashed for all to see in another form other than Gravity! And yes, I will definitely post pics/videos of the cars in demo action if I can convince Brent to attend the smashing local celebrations! (O, and for anyone interested I posted a few pics of beautiful Northern California over on my photo page...maybe I should make some nature docs next? Hmmm.....)
