From our discussion, the piece was needed to center on 3 things:. The day of the shoot was hectic. We focused on interviews for the first 45 minutes, me operating the Canon 5D with a Rode shotgun mic attached interviewing participants and framing tight and close, while Dennis ran the 7D framing medium and loose.

Mid-way through the morning, there was a slight interruption when the fire alarm went off and the entire building had to be evacuated. It was a false alarm, but good timing considering dozens of firefighters were starting to arrive for their part of the climb. Most of the filming took place on the main floor where people assembled and started from, and the 40th floor where people ended.
