4th day report: sea/tell shooting

Dear ZALAB friends.
Today was the first shooting day!
Stefano, Barbara e Simone met Ahmed in Biddu, Khaled in Ramallah and Abdullah at the University Bir Zeit. The Italians were very impressed of the atmosphere, young people all around the campus, most of the woman without the veil, everyone very gentle and open-minded as we are actually not used to.
We choose the first place and we prepared the equipment. For the first time the Italians did not fell like aliens. Khaled was interviewing, Abdullah on the camera and Ahmed taking sound. Barbara logged, Simone took backstage images and Stefano some backstage shoots.
We did lots of interviews and we came back very happy about the work.
Amazing trip back trough the fantastic fruit juice in Ramallah, the busiest center around, full of hypnotic scenarios (for Simone's happiness). We arrive in Biddu after some provocative check points. In Buddu we make the interviews to the children. It was not so hard to find volunteers! Very noisy sound, but very intensive faces (look at the attached pictures). We try also to get some shoot in the barber shop, but no one was there and we decided to try tonight or tomorrow.
Very nice day, we are all very tired but whit the good feeling you have when you did something good. At the moment in this room there are very enthusiastic guys following the Stefano's and the Barbara's editing lessons (Abdullah, Hazim and Ahmad). They are trying everything and asking lots. Stefano is happy about that, also if is a tiring way to end the day.
So, happiness in Biddu. Enjoy the attached pictures!
