What a day…
The cameras arrived early this morning. (Too early.) We charged the batteries, cleaned out the SD cards (of which we currently have 5 x 16GB) and set off to Jeffreysbay to shoot a ton of footage. I can’t, of course, reveal anything as of yet (Cobus is currently preparing a little surprise for his fans on my laptop), except that we shot a car guard named Willem who thinks Cobus is an excellent parker. (He really is.)
Back in Humansdorp we shot some indoor footage, messed around with one or two unrelated projects and dumped footage like crazy.
I’m reading FA van Jaarsveld’s Wie en wat is die Afrikaner?. We ate too much Macdonalds. Cobus played me some of the tracks he is considering for the DVD. The FS200 has an almost absurd zooming range. Forgetting to press record or screwing cameras on tripods the wrong way around isn’t cool. We saw a petrified dolphin. Cobus chased a seagull.
Tomorrow we’re heading into the wild (literally) for more footage.
