aaand i'm back....

spent the last month in the jungle, recreating a crash site in costa rica (yes, this is where that plane from palawan ended up!)....







and re-telling one man's journey and survival in the amazon...











the experience has been somewhat surreal, in a good way - working on a film set for a month, full of creative energies, in the middle of a jungle, away from the realities of outside world, with a great group of people who have become good friends :)

i shouldn't be alive!

2 and a half weeks plus 2 typhoons after... i'm back! shooting discovery channel's "i shouldn't be alive" series was probably one of the most rewarding work experiences i've had - big challenges, a super art dept team, the sun and the sea, great people to work with :) here are some of the cool memories.... (minus the crew parties!)...

my hero boat, "under construction", with lead UK actors harry and otis on the shore....




and at sea...


on the days when the waters were too choppy (right after the huge storm), we shot a lot of scenes from the pier....


setting up with director James Strong and DOP Rupert Binsley...


Rupert working the kapote on those rainy days....


Manolette, our sound guy, rain or shine!


the boys and their "sunburn"


...in the "cold"


... and in my favorite jellyfish scene (yes we made those jello jellyfish!)


shooting against green screen in a green pool at night...


here are a couple of interior sets we shot in, the church and the church hall....



next episode, the skydivers!!!!




beau, michael and simon...


and my fake parachute!


parting shots of james and charlotte plus rupert in action...



can't wait to see the finished product! i'm glad to be back but i will miss being on this set and working with everyone :)
