A pot of gold?
A behind the scenes look at my artistic process and how I make all these crazy things. Check out anthonychapin.com to see the final outcomes.

I felt slightly on edge the entire time we were at the school as I felt like we were maybe out of bounds on this one. Near the end of our shooting a couple of vehicles drove up. I freaked out trying to figure out a way to sneak out. Turns out the people in the trucks were more freaked out then we were. They said, "Hey" and started in about how they weren't doing anything wrong. They seemed spooked and went to their cars and drove away. I suspect they were doing some illegal salvaging. While I suspect we were trespassing.
The disintegration of small towns seemed to be a theme on our trip. So many of the small towns were closing and combining schools, sometimes students may need to be bused from more than 40 miles away. The towns often seemed a step away from being ghost towns.
