On Saturday it was just Nicky, Ed and I with the hired action vehicle, a LandRover 110 Defender, thanks to SHB 4x4 Hire Ltd. for such a great deal. The only trouble was that the LandRover we hired before, for the main shoot, was up in Scotland so we had to use a replacement... (continued)

photo x 8
Similar to the PAG System, the J11ax 4.5B IFXS was a perfect match. To be honest I wondered about the price difference between the EFG and the Broadcast Television Lenses, I can tell you having digitized the first half of the feature film, the difference is amazingly self evident... (continued)

As per usual the day was an uphill struggle, we ended up starting late due to partly due to the action vehicle company not have the correct map and partly due to everyone, including myself, not being up to speed...
