Haz-Mat Slide

Hello All,

Well I know it has been a little bit since I have posted but I have been pretty busy here. The sun isn't up yet but we have twillight around noon time everyday and it is getting longer and longer. Last weekend, the 17th and 18th of July 2010, McMurdo os the host of the International 48 Hour Sub-Antarctic Film Festival. This is for all the station that are below 60 degrees south latitude. Basically all the stations that are in the Sub-Antarctic area have been invited to film and submit movies. The movies are supposed to be filmed with in the 48 hours and then submitted here to McMurdo and then judged and the winners are announced next week on the 24th of July. The neat thing this year is that the 5 items that have to be in the movie weren't actually picked by McMurdo like normal. They were picked by other stations. The year 2008 was the first year that McMurdo invited the Sub-Antarctic stations, since it was a tradition between Scott Base, South Pole and McMurdo since 2000 or so. Apparently the 1st year there were 5 international movies and last year 18 so I can only imagine how many this year. I will keep you informed once I get to view them.

Anyways the video below are the "bloopers" from the video that I filmed and starred in. We actually filmed this before the film festival started to see if we could do some of the things that we wanted to do. This video is 2.5 minutes long and the one we submitted for the film festival is 4.5 minutes. I think it is funny since it was fun to film. So take a look and tell me what you think.
