Shot List-North by Northwest

Hello friends!

This blog is just a little different. My intent was to embed a video from youtube, but those pesky "no embed" rules get in the way....sigh. So I've done the next best thing; here's a link to the famous scene from "Noth by Northwest" were Cary Grant is being chased by a bi-plane. My shot list only goes through the first 57 seconds of the clip- but enjoy the whole thing!
