After the min brief -H2O- that Richard gave Ali and I, we split up an headed back home for easter. There were however some interesting developments with the final film we’ll be making and I’d be glad to share them with you!
1) CLIENTS – Originally were we going to make the sailing film with Skandia Team GBR but now due to logistical reasons we will be filming with NACRA SAILING. Nacra makes ‘sports and fun Catamarans’ and are a big player in the global sailing industry. They have agreed to a 4 day shoot, where Richard will be taking stills a usual, but we will all contribute to making the film. So now the film will be a joint venture between Ocean Images, Nacra Sailing and The Arts University College Bournemouth. It has been agreed that everyone is to be able to use the final product for promotion, so win, win, win!
2) LOCATION – The location for filming was from the start going to be a bit last minute, as the sailing industry is heavily influenced by weather conditions. Now a location, or rather locations have been found, we will most likely be filming in the South of France, around Le Lavandou or Hyeres, or alternatively on the Southern Bretton coast at Carnac. The date for filming has been set for a week, from the 23rd – 30th April. Filming in these locations will allow us, touch wood, to capture more impressive and dramatic footage, due to the Mediterranean conditions.
3) STABILIZER – We were intending on building a SteadiCam but due to reasons mentioned in an eariler post, we decided it would best to purchase one from a company called Hague. We went for this model, and you will find out more about it in my next post.
Things are progressing very nicely, albiet now at a fast pace. Ali and I are naturally excited about filming in France, and we’re determined to make the best film we can, given this great opportunity. In my next post you can find out about our first filming session in Poole harbour, and the first attempts at getting a camera to stabilize.
