The cameras are rolling!
Pawn Stories camera crew Amber Smith and Carl Johnson ready to work
As of 8 this morning, the Pawn Stories crew was at work, filming behind-the-scenes at the pawnshop.
When Kamaaina Loan opened its doors at 9, there was not a line of people carrying stuffed monkeys, but there was a short line of regular customers coming in to make and pay off loans. We’re hoping the cinematic element grows as the day wears on.
Pawn Stories cameraman Carl Johnson and his sidekick and second camerawoman Amber Smith were impessed by the Iao Valley rainforest, which they hope to hike before they leave the island.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Carl.
Carl and Amber have been filming pawn operations for Pawn Stories for years now, and they’ve never seen anything like Kamaaina Loan. But, as Carl noted, every pawn business is different.
