Louis bought this 1977 Monte Carlo for a hundred bucks &#8212; Craigslist, I think &#8212; and installed a mount on the roof with a drill and some bolts. The car is so riddled with rust holes (strange for California; the Scripps Institution of Oceanography sticker on the window perhaps provides a clue) that it needs a cover when parked on the street, just in case it rains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-359\" title=\"IMG_6724\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slowtale.net\/diary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/IMG_6724-345x459.jpg?resize=345%2C459\" alt=\"IMG_6724\" width=\"345\" height=\"459\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So the camera goes in the box on the roof, a cable from the camera comes down through the roof and connects to a small screen that I can monitor while we&#8217;re recording. I use the remote control to turn the camera on and off; brilliantly, Louis attached a small whiteboard to the remote, so I can slate at the end of each shot by just reaching out of the window. It&#8217;s pretty perfect. (If only I&#8217;d taken better care of my Thomas Guide! Poor thing.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past month I have been working for Louis Hock, a filmmaker and artist who lives near San Diego.
