After a long period of inactivity, due to illness and other things that came up, we finally got back to filming this past weekend. The scene was meant to be shot during the peak of foliage season, but that ended up not happening, because of a schedule conflict.

Fortunately, we were able to get out into the conservation area before we'd completely lost the season to shoot one of our last three dream sequences. The sun wasn't very cooperative, slipping behind the clouds more often than I wanted, but overall the footage looks good.

On the downside, we had a lot of trouble with sound, due to the fact that I couldn't get the microphone close enough to Rob and David, for a number of shots, and we encountered the same problem with crunching leaves we'd run into in the first film. I had the boys record their lines when they weren't moving, in case I can use that for dubbing, but it may not prove useful.

The other issue we ran into was the fact that the camera batteries didn't last as long as I remember them lasting - perhaps because it was pretty cold. So, we ended up rushing more than I felt comfortable with. But I think we got everything, and the performances were good.
