Back to the Ice Again

Well, weather permitting I'll be headed back to the Ice on Tuesday for somewhere between 4 to 14 weeks.
Very much a last minute thing to fill in for someone who had to leave unexpectedly.
I'll be working with the Airfield Techs, basically looking after the electronics and comms equipment that keeps the airfields operational.
It will however give me the chance to get some extra summer footage for the film in my spare time while I am there. Since the rest of the movie team won't be ready to start work on post production until early next year, the timing works out pretty well.

The other day I built a motion control time-lapse dolly, that allows me to create nice tracking shots.
I designed it without any drive belts so it would not have mechanical troubles working in the cold.
Here's a demo clip with shots from around Christchurch I did to try it out...
