Shoot! (short update)

Just an update!

I did not have the time to write proper notes about the shoot and stay at HV8 jet. I will try to do this in the coming days. I finally can smell the end off the shoot, witch is a relieve, its going to be a very busy week to come. We are shooting the last episodes (3) in the coming week. And I am working on paying all the bills and people who worked for us. Then I have to try and sell all the stuff and gear we have been buying before, like tents and other camping stuff. The shoot went very hectic till now, I generally sleep about 5 to 6 hours a night, like all off us out here and we haven’t been a single day off.

But this seems to be normal at Kanakna. Witch I think is not good for the morale off people.

Anny way, all the pictures we have been shooting, looks very nice. So, this winter (European winter) it should be on television in the Netherlands and Belgium. The name is going to be “Outback Jack” or “Outback Luke”.

We have been in the most remote places where we have been put up crew camps and the cast (reality) camp. I have seen Crocodiles, one even did bite my camera, and not wanted to let go. I have a picture from the moment that he has my camera in his mouth.

I had a great experience as a second camera in a Bell-Jet ranger helicopter with all the doors removed of course. Flying over the canyon like mountain ridges is a very nice feeling. Hanging half out off the helicopter door is some how a strange thing. The wind (according to the helicopters speed) outside is fast and strong. And its not easy to operate a camera in a situation like that and especially not when it is your first time. Lol

I did take pictures and avi’s at that trip, witch will be available for all you lot later.

I will try and describe a normal shooting day here at HV8 next time.

Till now this was the short update, I have to go and lunch now and do some (office) work again. :o)
