last foray for a long time to come
i seriously do not understand how the rest of the wildfilms crew get back their energy so fast. at 1 its soccermania as Alvin and Chayhoon screaming at the telly telling the soccer players hw to earn their pay. then at 3 we get ready and cram into ria's MPV and a cab and make for the harbour. Its cheesy joke after corny innuendo all the way till 4, we reach Kusu and to work we go. I got to be lightings for the shoot. that meant lugging a 5kg or so battery pack with a lamp we conviently call 'The Stungun', as it will render any crewmember blinded and senseless should he/she be unfortunate to 'accidently stare at it':
'yo yc i need lighting'
'huh?' *turns to face unfortunate member*
'GAH my EYES'
'sorry.'
well we spotted flounders (OMG 1st time i see a live flounder!), crabs of all sorts, ugly fishes as well as a naked and unprotected peanut worm. i guess that was the prize catch. Didnt manage to encounter the resident stingray which had stung ria a week ago.
Then some team members must have muttered something that made mother nature unhappy for she unleashed a whole barrage of rain thunder lightning and gale. it is not funny when you lug the batt pack around and try to run as fast to the shelter as you can, while trying to shield the VERY expensive equipment you are holding from the heavy rain.
But soon after mommy lets up and we get back to work.
I even managed a blairwitch sequence by myself. how cool is that =]
At 9am we would be mostly comatose, if not for the fact it was so goddamn freezing and equipement waiting to be washed.
Yet by 1 everyone's mostly up and runnign again, while me here am just collapsing.
last time ill be visiting the shores for 2 months plus, and will have to wait till the next spring for all those super-low tides. a sorry waste.
