So Ezra hooked us up with a florist near his neighbourhood who sells his flowers from a van. Apparently he has been there for ages till the extent that he doesn't have much feelings about flowers(and in fact in disbelief that we're doing a documentary about flowers).
One thing I learnt the hard way from the shoot was that patience is the number one factor if you're going to shoot an observational film. Barely into 2hours and I got bored of filming! In the end we shot in just 1 tape and packed up. Interesting though how customers cringe when they see the camera and try to run away even though we're like far far away. Got me thinking about the ethics lecture somehow - playing with people's lives by filming things that they don't want to get into.
