Day 13 – My Pix

Again, the intensity and amount of water work kept my camera somewhat quiet for the day. I did manage some shots when we were shooting some surface dolphin stuff. Haven’t had time to sort through them but here they are. These are mostly from a sequence where we were filming the arrival home of the boat “Delphinus” — the research center’s main vessel — and there were about 10 of us on a very small camera boat with three dolphins working around us.

Day 12 in the Can

Another long day on and under the water. I didn’t get to take many pix as I was in the water most of the time. We got some extraordinary underwater footage which I will find a way to publish soon — but my own pix aren’t that great. We are at UNEXSO all day tomorrow. Here are pix — most of them are from my cam, some are frame grabs, and a few of the frame grabs may be repeats from a couple of days ago — sorry, don’t have time to sort it all out …. call time in just a few minutes. I’ll try to get on during the day and sort it out a little better.

Heading Out on the Water

5:15 AM

Five days to go to complete the Bahamas shooting…..Tuesday through Saturday.  Today (Tuesday) is another open water day. Call Time is 6AM.  I will have photos and blog info when I get back tonight — probably will not be able to do anything during the day, as I’ll be on the water the whole time.

Week Two — Finished and I’m Whipped

We wrapped and ended the week at 2:30 AM Sunday morning ….. another long day. I’m going to need to heal myself a bit tomorrow….We’ll have 36 hours off before beginning the final week. I’ll add photos when I’ve had a chance to rest. Today we shot out Hawk’s house — meaning we completed all the scenes at that location — and we got some incredibly beautiful production value. By the way — our beach where Hawk’s house is situated is, I’m told by locals, the same beach where Ursula Andress came out of the water in her bikini in Dr. No. It really is some of the most beautiful, dazzling water you could ever find anywhere in the world. And I think we’re getting great value from the location.

I don’ t have as many photos from the last few days because we’ve been shooting a lot of night scenes and my cam doesn’t work as well in that lighting — but I’ll be getting pix from other folks cameras and posting them in coming days.  But here are some nice ones — still frames from the movie.

Almost To the End of Week 2 (and a day off!)

One more day to go and we’ll be to the end of Week 2. I am ultra-bone-tired . Yesterday our call time was 11:30 AM and we finished at 2AM so we bought some overtime. Managed to get to sleep around 4 — it’s 10AM now and I’m getting ready to go back out agailn. I will catch up on substance tomorrow on our day off. I’m doing my best to keep going on the blog but at the moment the best I can do is post some photos. Survival mode now. But we’re getting exceptional stuff — breathtaking, some of it. Worth the struggle.

Stills

These are still frames from the movie itself — as opposed to photos taken behind the scenes.  I will try to add more as I get them.

Day 9 — Ups and Downs

We had another big day and this time the weather cooperated.  Our scenes were at the Harker family house — a beautiful setting on the beach.  I got some pretty good pics during the daytime part of our shoot (we shot night scenes as well, until 11pm).  That’s the good news.  The bad news is – I left my camera on the set somewhere so no behind the scenes shots to upload now.  I think I may have some stills from the movie available and will try to upload them shortly.

Day 8: End of the Water Days

We spent all day on and in the water yesterday — I’m looking pretty much like a lobster now, and feeling a bit zombie-like but we got it all done and it looks great.  I only have a few pix because after the first few shots of the morning I was in the water and couldn’t take pix (I need to get one of those waterproof cameras)….

So here are pix from the first hour or two when we were on the shore and I was still reasonably dry.
