Pre-Production
Still continuing in Pre-Production with "the Film Crew!" This week we've been scheduling interviews with top scientists, conducting camera and lens testing and doing rigorous physical training to prepare for the environments in which we will be filming.
I'll be heading up to Monterey to meet with underwater film experts at Backscatter, Monterey Bay Aquarium and cinematographer Chuck Davis.
We are also getting more sponsors to help match the grant we received from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The additional funding will help make this expedition a safer less hazardous journey for all of us.
PLEASE SIGN UP ON OUR BLOG AND STAY INFORMED ON WHAT's HAPPENING IN THE GULF.
Also been scouring through all the gear for the journey so we don't get caught with our proverbial "pants down" on any particular shoot. The wrong screw size on a camera plate can cost you stabilization on an entire shoot! Then you'll get seasick watching our clips! And by the way have you noticed the ridiculous times we've been posting! Yep excitement factor which also yields some anxiety equals odd hours of sleep...
Our team so far :
Mike deGruy-on screen host and re-known Filmmaker
Michael Hanrahan -scientific coordinator, media
locations director.
Harry Rabin-DP on this film.
First trip to Gulfport, Mississippi to board the Atlantis home of the Navy's Alvin Deep submersible begins Dec. 6th...so stay tuned and we'll start posting photos & video of our exploits pretty soon.
