Day 3 on the ground here in New Zealand. It has been really great so far. A have to keep reminding myself that I'm working, and that still doesn't do it. The two portraits we've shot so far have been fantastic. Butch, a dairy farmer and Bill, a former Maori All-blacks rugby superstar. Both super cool.
I won't divulge too much of what we do so as not to spoil the final piece but I will say I reeled in a fish and then we smoked them and and made fish 'n chips among other stuff. The snapper was the best fish I've ever had -- sorry mom and dad. And yesterday: cow milking, sheep sheering and more.
We're shooting on two Canon 5D MarkII's and a 7D. Good cameras. Reliable and really nice colors. Some of you know I'd prefer shooting on the AF100 but the Canon is tried and tested. A really good camera. We are doing our standard of offloading the footage to two 1TB Lacie Rugged hard drives. I keep them in a Pelican 1050 or is it 1040, case that isn't water proof but crush proof and fairly water tight.
Kurt Dahl, Matt Whitaker, Manahi Taber-Kewene, Mike Ramirez and myself are the crew and things have been really smooth and gelled quite well. Look forward to the next two weeks. More to come.
