On this particular day, the team woke up on the west coast of Tasmania. We ate breakfast and jumped in our cars. 6.5 hours later, we hit the end of the road on the East Coast.
2pm, still had not eaten much since breakfast. We went out for a location scout for the shoot the following morning. While we were there, we realised that the weather was perfect, the clouds and wind were going to pick up over night. We quickly decided that we were going to try to shoot as much as we could before the light disappeared. We had 3 hours, close to 30 outfits and I was not only shooting stills, but video as well as some analog film shots.
One whole pack of natural confectionary gummies to myself and we were off. Jumping from rock to rock, cameras shooting this way, clothing flying that way, my brain was three shots ahead of what we were working on. Click, click, click... then the sun dipped below the mountains in the distance and it was all over.
We all cheered. We did it. We shot the whole campaign in 3 hours. It was all a blur. The only memory I have of it is looking back on the shots. And to be quite honest, I really love them.
Couldn’t have done it without the team.
