Filming in Maine

Here I am leaving Bernd's cabin in Maine after a couple of days of filming. I have to carry quite a load. The pack on my back alone probably weighs around 70 pounds and it's a fairly steep uphill walk to the cabin. I should be in shape after this film is over!
Morning at Bernd's cabin in Maine.

A good time for writing.

The Equipment


This is what the camera looks like set up. I am now becoming really comfortable with it. Equipment like this has to become almost second nature to you; you have to know which dials to adjust and which menus do what, without a lot of thinking or searching.

I continue to be amazed at the quality of the images it produces too. I hope to put up a really great clip up of Bernd talking about writing soon. I hesitate to do that though until I figure out the best way to get the highest quality possible images up. Even the best online images are nothing compared to seeing them in their native high-definition format.
