Time is flying! Eight days left before flying back to Capetown! Sadness…and happiness in the same time!
After lots of equipment issues I managed to shoot my topic in a few days. And I am now busy editing my 7 hours footage into 3mn film….!!Pretty hectic! But interesting! Final Cut Pro is the bomb!
We spend around 10/12 hours per day behind our Mac at the moment…quite a drastic change with last week when we were in the bush filming from 05h00 AM till 21h00 sometimes! It’s not as fun but our babies are taking form! And it’s such a good feeling…I just hope that I won’t give birth to a one leg baby….!Don’t think so but never know!
Internet is up and down every two minutes so it’s not easy to keep the blog updated. Also I don’t have many new pictures as I couldn’t take any still pictures last week. Too busy shooting with my video camera.
I met, once again, a very inspiring person under the name of Tim. He was my camera work lecturer. 52 years old with more than 30 years in the business as a camera man! He’s been around the world a few times, even to Antarctica and he’s been filming most of Kingsley Holsgate expeditions!! 52 years old and still going strong….! Why retiring when you love what you do for a living!! As he said, our job is our hobby so why stopping?! F**K that S**T!!
Good life style, good money, a family at home who supports you and who look forward each time to see your pictures and listen to your stories with shining eyes! Getting paid to travel and show the world what you see and being able to afford to take your family to any country in the world for a full month if you want to!! This is LIFE!
Seating next to Tin during those game drives has been a real pleasure and I will never be enough thankful for all the filming tricks that he showed me!
Keep going strong Tim, and thank you one more time for this fabulous time on your side and all the inspiration you added to my soul!
Got to go….here are a few pictures that I took the week before last. Lions again I know but I love them!
