The mountain of tapes on the left is the movie… 37 days and 22,000 miles all documented.  Each tape holds 1 hour of footage.

The meager stack of 2 on the right represents the maximum length of time the finished film can be.  No longer then 2 hours.

So now the trick is to somehow fit the mountain of tapes on the left into the stack of tapes on the right.

It’ll be a challenge, that’s for sure, but we’ll keep everyone in the loop with the progress of the edit with regular posts on the site.

Well when we set out on our trip a goal was to visit old Tigers Stadium in Detroit (or at least what was left of it).  This now has so much more meaning because the city of Detroit has decided to demolish the remains of Tigers Stadium, just a little over a month from our May 2nd visit.

Part of Tiger Stadium’s upper deck came crashing down Monday June 8th, nearly a decade after the final major league game there and hours after a judge refused to stop the historic ballpark’s demolition.

Crews used a backhoe to tear away chunks of the upper deck along the former third-base line, causing debris to rain down as dozens of people gathered nearby to witness the destruction of a stadium that opened in 1912 as Navin Field and hosted professional baseball for 87 years.

Enjoy what may be some of the last pictures taken of Tiger Stadium.  It was truly a nostalgic expierence.

Well, it’s been 3 weeks since our return to Philadelphia.  We arrived back home exhausted and a bit delirious from the whirlwind journey that had been our lives over the last 37 days.  We drove 22,000 miles through 39 states in 37 days and, to be honest, we just needed a break from the project.

We’ve been able to rest up and refresh ourselves these past few weeks and we are now ready to jump head-first back into the project with a fresh perspective.  Starting now, with this post, we will continue the blog and routinely write of the progress we are making in the edit room and of stories from the road.

Once again, thank you to everyone out there who supported us and helped us along the way.  It was an arduous trip made easy because of you.
