Lest we forget the filming...

In addition to plenty of cardio workouts, some training with the RED camera - both filming with it and lugging it around - was in order. Here is a snippet of the work we did on Cape Cod this month - special thanks to Cape-based band Earth Junior, who provided the soundtrack.

No Turning Back Now, Archer.

Mark's flight information for his trip to Africa to film Mt. Kilmanjaro with the RED ONE camera just came in. There it is, in black and white. Time to go big!

Shooting Mt. Kilimanjaro on the RED Digital Cinema Camera

Mark needs to ski, run, hike, walk, and weight train - not to mention practice doing all of the above while shooting with a 25 pound RED Digital Cinema Camera - for his trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro in June, to shoot footage for Del Padre's ongoing work with the National Science Foundation's STEPS project. As the date of departure approaches, we thought we'd share some of the more entertaining moments from this training journey (which, incidentally, included Mark's last cigarette on Thanksgiving morning).

Here's snippet #1, featuring Mark and Del Padre's communications manager (and Mark's wife) Jaclyn. She's just happy to be here.
