Popcorn Island’s, Josh Tallo and Stuart Marsh, begin to prepare for their upcoming trip to South Africa to finish Iris Dawn Parker’s “Portraits From South Africa” documentary. Information on the doc and a trailer for the film can be found in the blog under the South Africa Doc Category. Look to the site from March 7th to March 28th for regular Blog updates and videos from Josh and Stu as they bring you their journey as it unfolds. It’s sure to be at the very least educational. Mostly though it will be Josh making fun of Stu.

This first Vlog (Yes VLOG, it’ s a “V” for Video Log)  entry is our preliminary test of video blogging and highlights our trip to the Passport Health Center to receive our immunization shots. Little did we know we would be spending lots of money for someone to stick us with sharp needles 5-6 times!! And if anything, maybe we can shed some light on just what needs to be done to travel a crew to a foreign country safely and efficiently. Prob not efficiently though… enjoy!

Popcorn Island would like to THANK Bitter Jester Creative for their guidance and valuable information in helping us get this far in our preparation process. They too had to take a trip to Africa for a Documentary which they are currently in production on. Info on their Doc can be found at their website. Thank you as well for letting us borrow one of your Flip Cameras to take with us to use for our blog. Much appreciated guys! Only the “Rhicters” could have done a better job!

And our sincere apologies for the length of this entry.. the next videos will be limited to 2 minutes at maximum! :)
