This episode took so long to come out because we took a little break from HWD in the middle of the year and didn't get back to it until now. We hit the spring time really really hard last year and wasted tons of gas chasing after a few frog species that we never even found and so it kind of had us bummed out. We made the conscious decision to take a break from it for a while so that we would not burn ourselves out on it before we finished this movie. Now that we have had some experience filming, we are beginning to see just how much work and planning a project like this takes. We want this film to be the best it can be so we are taking it slow and making sure things are right. Nothing would kill this project faster than rushing through it and having the resulting product be not up to our standards.
There is still lots to do for this film and so we are already gearing up for what will be a busy year. The salamander season is rolling up on us really fast here and we still need some footage of the migration. We want to be sure we have everything we need so that we do not end up in the cutting room in November and realize that we need more footage of the spotted salamanders. I am sure there will be more videos coming as soon as we get start getting out and filming again. It is time to really get ourselves in gear and get this film finished this year!
