Hi Guys and Girls,

 

Thought i would give you an update of the second stage of my water steadicam movements!

We have tested out our new supercharged seadoo the other week at Woolamai beach Victoria where we had 6 ft beach break waves!

The day started out bad with 25kts wind blowing from the south and very choppy conditions!

The new seadoo handled it well, and with the second stage of our water proofing camera housing and wireless monitoring system it all went well without any glitches!

Thought i would post some new pics of the day and the rig!

I will keep you updated as things get more advanced!

We are heading out for stage 3 into some breaks at Phillip Island this Sunday for some more testing!

 

Cheers,

Gday guys and girls,

 

Well i have finally been booked with my water steadicam.

We shot over a 5 day period in July 05 with Surfing Guru Taj Burrow and the footage for our quest was amazing.

We are now in talks with Kelly Slaters managers for up coming Quicksilver films etc.

We have also just been booked early Jan 06 for the Kellogs Ironman series with our unit so next year will definately be a big year indeed.

I would like to thank the guru's themselves, Mr Garrett Brown and Mr Jerry Holway for giving me some great advice re: this water unit, and also helping me along the way in promoting it!! Thanks Guys!!

Here is another one!!

We had bad weather for the first 3 days shooting, but then the gods shone upon us, and the next 2 days were just like heaven!!

We had 5ft waves with smooth faces to race down the front as Taj smashed his way across them.

We only got air once with a freak break, and let me tell you that when you are going backwards down a crashing wave and then turn around into it only to go back over the top, suddenly you have air between you and the wave and all you can think about is this is going to hurt!!! It really is up to the seadoo pilot to get you out of harms way etc.

 

Will fill you in more soon!!

Hang on tight,

 

Hendo

Gday everybody,

 

It has been a long time between drinks and i thought i would touch base and let every body know how the Water Steadicam Unit has been going.

We now have been used live broadcasting with our unit for Australian TV, Ch9 Australian Lifesaving Championships, 8 hrs on the water and very intense shooting as you can immagine.

We then worked for Ch7, Australian Ironman Series, 3 hrs on the water shooting live footage.

Ripcurl trialed us out for 2007 Easter ASP Ripcurl Pro, once again live web broadcasting around the world. This week was massive being on the shoulder as the big surf rolls in. Ripcurl have booked us already for next years event so we are looking forward to that one. If anyone wants to check out some footage on the water Steadicam unit, then go to www.fluidmotionfilm.com

There is a link on the front page that takes you right there.

 

Enjoy,
