I was in Indianapolis for a couple days this week for a video shoot. We were shooting at a large engineering and manufacturing plant that, among other things, fixes fighter jet parts and designs digital displays to replace to old analog instruments. And they had a tank. A really big tank. They took it out to show it off and started doing doughnuts in the snow. It was crazy watching this huge thing spinning and sliding around right next to me, but I avoided getting run over and got some nice shots. That's me on top of the tank in the picture, in case you cant tell.
It was a fun shoot, because we were able to rent dolly and do some nice camera moves. It was also well planned and we had a great crew. Everyone in Indianapolis was so nice! Like strange mid-western nice.
The night before the shoot we ate dinner at St. Elmo Steak House, a famous Indianapolis restaurant. Apparently they are known for their shrimp cocktail. They pushed it on us relentlessly. When we said no, the waiter brought out a small bowl of the sauce and some crackers. I don't even like shrimp, so I still didn't want it, but my colleagues relented. The waiter promised that even people who don't like shrimp like this dish. Nope, not me. Still don't like shrimp. The steak and potatoes were fantastic though.
