[PT-Trials and tribulations of shooting in a tropical paradise...]

Actually filming the project presented all kinds of crazy obstacles. During a couple of water sessions I was washed over the falls and smashed into the very shallow reef - but that just goes with shooting in the water - you expect it. The hardest thing was shooting from Land in the Mentawai. At Macaronis and a couple of other spots I had to swim through about shoulder to head-high waves breaking on dry reef with all my camera equipment in a peli-case on a bodyboard and my tripod wrapped in three bin bags sat on top. After getting smashed-up there and making it on land I had to stand there whilst getting eaten alive by ants and mozzies. All good fun.
