Life Updates

This news has been long time pending.

For the next few months, I’m working on a BBC assignment with Sandesh on a wildlife documentary about the western ghats. Its a part research and part documentary project and the whole thing is being shot in pure HighDef video. The research bit is the search for some of the rare, extinct and maybe mythical creatures of the western ghats.

Ofcourse I’ll still be lugging around my digital camera around with the video cameras. The last few weeks has been hectic as we were busy with pre-production – getting all the permits in place, all the funky gear (night vision/camera traps/scopes etc), researching on stuff, getting vehicles in order etc.

I’m finally taking off this weekend on a long expedition… but will make another post on that one.

    w00t. awesome mate. your biggest project yet right? congrats and all the best in getting those mythical creatures on tape/dvd. btw, you have this rather interesting habit of letting the cat out of the bag once its all fattened up eating the stored rats inside (forgive me on the quote), but do do do let us know well in advance about the screening date of the show. Or if they dont plan to screen it in India then I am sure you could get a hold of a DVD and do the honours for us. 🙂

    All the best and most importantly, have fun. 🙂
