x-ray siera 245 take 6 'c' cam mark

yes.. that is film lingo people. after my trip to daylesford its back to the usual of no, we are sold out of summer heights high..

so... did i learn anything from my time out there? and was i useful? yes and yes. it was fantastic. i totally miss all that on set bonding and fun you have!! i was with 2nd unit for most of my time there... they do the smaller dialogue scenes and stuff like that... it was a long day... and most of the time hard work.

and the horses. well, all i can say is that they were all the pretty ones. ha. no... i was amazed at how talented they were... all the tricks and training that had been put into them. they are beautiful animals and once i had gotten over my fear of they can kill me if they wanted to i was very comfortable to be around them. and my god... they can piss.

anyways... what was i actually doing? just little things.. i got to do the clapper slates and stuff like that before each shot was called... and all the little jobs that needed doing. it wasn't the most glamorous job ... but none of them are. thats what i love about it.

yeh... it was absolutely stunning out there.. unfortunately i didnt have a camera out there to take any photos of the location where we were shooting... but it was basically on the top of a hill (the horse stable) and then it drops down into this valley where there are millions of trees and bush and the sun rises from over the top. MAGIC!

getting up before the sun was a little tough but the catering made it all worth it. i have never eaten that well in the middle of nowhere before. it was amazing. oohhhhh...

up next for ben is spicks & specks. yes, i think i might be employed by the ABC.
