It’s go time. I’ve been running around the last few days getting everything organized so I can join the crew to shoot our first 3D documentary.
I leave for Salvador, Brazil tomorrow to capture Blowdown in 3D – the prep and implosion of the Fonte Nova Stadium to make way for a new facility for the 2014 World Cup.
The Parallax Film team’s been down there for a week now. They’ve set up our HQ and shot some material – enough to get their feet dusty.
The next few weeks leading up to the August 29 implosion will be a great field experiment.
As the demolition story unfolds, so will the nuances of the equipment we’ve rigged to capture the first implosion ever shot in 3D.
I know what it will be like down there – field realities will set in, and days will be overflowing.
So writer Nicole Tomlinson will manage the blog in my stead.
I’ll feed her shoot info whenever I can as we review story material, and she’ll post here.
Ciao for now.
