A MPBN Videographer's Seguin Recollections

Shooting video on an island involves negotiating logistical concerns that go beyond the ferry schedule. For one, weather (and in particular, fog) is always a concern. Whereas a mainland shoot can always be rescheduled, the challenge of lugging all that equipment out on a boat might mean shooting anyway on a day you'd rather not. MPBN videographer Chad Diamond recalls some of the other hurdles that needed to be overcome in shooting the Maine Experience segment on Seguin Island, such as underwater footage and coordinating a shoot on one of the two days every year that the tramway featured in the segment is operational.
