Another very full day. The set is coming together and the tower that the remote controlled camera will be operating from soars over the camp. The morning was pretty hectic since His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh came for a visit. In the afternoon, I went into an unmapped section of the Blue Creek cave with expedition's cave scientists and learned how cave surveys are done....first hand. We mapped 16 stations and exited the cave by swimming out several hundred yards, emerging at the cave mouth. According to the cavers, this was the first time anyone had ever entered that cave by the entrance we did and pass through the mountain to exit the way we did. Beside the obvious adventure aspect, I can now enhance the 3D cave model that we are using during the expedition to better reflect what I actually saw. Spent a good part of last night creating an animation sequence for the show's opening. Tomorrow is the first technical run through and we are all looking forward to seeing how the show comes together.
The images that I am sending come from a variety of sources. There are cameras all over the place; in trees, on platforms, on towers and on peoples shoulders. I have a video feed and switch box so when time permits, I capture whatever looks interesting and what I feel best represents what is going on down here.
I will try to organize the images according to subject, location or activity.
