We had a great meeting tonight . We weren't a large
crowd - just enough to be 'gesellig'! (That might have had something
to do with the short notification - apologies! :-(
It was (and it wasn't!) the same Jacques Groenewald
that gave us those interesting camera talks previously. I mean, it was
the same generous-with-his-knowledge person on the inside, but on the
outside he was a changed man - minus 35kg changed! He decided that filming
is too stressful a job to tackle if you are unfit and thus embarked
on a cycling campaign - an inspiration to all of us who enjoy food more
than cycling!
Jacques brought a pole cam along and gave us a fascinating demonstration
of it's capabilities. He had many a person drooling! But the good news
is that should you need a pole cam, you can hire it for R1 500 a day
and for another R1 500 you get Operator Jacques thrown in. If you see
the angles you could achieve and the time and effort you could save
on some shoots, R3 000 for the day is a snip!
We also watched a short on the Khoi Khoi lifestyle of yesteryear (Bushmen
in those days) which Chris Oberholzer shot in Namibia 20 years ago -
excellent stuff!
Well, Altus says we will have a meeting in August at the "Southern
headquarters", so watch this space!
I'm off to catch some sun in Portugal on Thursday - however, I suspect
we had a whole lot more sun here recently than they had in Europe, judging
from the French Open! So hold thumbs for some sunshine!
Kind regards - till August
