week 2...


...is finished

Nothing more to say really;

The heat is still kicking my arse mid-week; and once again I find myself at the end of a weekend spent in recovery mode.

Most of the week we were shooting on a low-loader. It’s a trailer, which allows you to put actors in a vehicle and film them as if they were driving.

Upsides – very little booming is possible, and you spend most of your day sitting down…

Downsides – very little booming is possible, and you spend most of your day sitting down… On a camera box in the sun, whilst diesel exhaust-fumes waft by, and you’re safety harness gets in the way.

Picture time.


Red-dust/sun-burn combo at the end of a regular day.




Picture-car on low-loader. (In this particular set-up the camera is sitting in the front passengers’ seat shooting towards the back)




Alternate angle on the low-loader




view from my exhaust seat on the back of the towing vehicle




Weekly sunset shot #2




Filming in downtown Broome, WA (set to resemble 1960’s)




This past saturday, I went down to the lighthouse cliffs, to see if I could take a photo or two of the “dinosaur footprints”




Concrete representation of said footprints (the real ones are only visible during very low-tide)




This might be one of the real ones… or not… it’s kind of hard to tell without a compass.




Pretty, late-afternoon sun on the cliffs




Another shot of the rock cliffs




Cliff-rocks #3




One of the many tourists searching frantically for the dino-print before the tide came back up and the sun went down…


‘till next time
