Filming is about to begin, and we're already off to a bad start. A few days before filming, we were still determining whether we'd be filming. As a result, none of our props were in order. We didn't have a treasure box. The most crucial prop, and we didn't have it. Siena said she had a box, but we found out it was yellow on the day of filming, and she didn't have enough time to paint it red. So I started frantically searching my house for any red box so we'd at least have something to film with. Something that would blend in with Big Red. I came across red watch boxes but was told they were too small. I ultimately went with a red see-through jewelry box I borrowed from my cousin. It opened like a treasure box, so it was perfect. Then I went to postermywall.com to help Ash work on the treasure hunt poster and the water taxi tickets. She was out with her parents and didn't have Wi-Fi, but she had picked a template already, so I continued to work on that. I didn't have a printer; although Ash had one, she insisted we go to Walgreens to print them. Siena said she'd have her dad print them at work to save money, and then she'd pick them up from there. We agreed that would be better. While I helped Ash with the digital stuff, she worked on painting the shell. She made it white and then painted stripes on it so it'd match the clue. To get the paint to dry faster, I held it in front of the ac in the car on the way there. When we arrived, my fingers were freezing, and I almost got hyperthermia, but the shell was perfectly dry. That's when Siena presented us with the printed goods; the poster, which turned out perfectly, and the ticket that was as large as a flag. At that moment, I knew our filming journies were about to be an adventure.
