COMMITMENT

GEOFF HAD TO ENDURE A 3 DAY WAIT TO FINALLY GET THIS TRICK DONE, AS ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT IT WENT A LITTLE WRONG, LEAVING HIM

WITH WHAT WE NOW KNOW WAS A BROKEN THUMB.

AS IF WAITING 3 DAYS TO GO BACK WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, THE RETURN VISIT WAS DONE A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE FLIGHT HOME FROM SOUTH

AFRICA, AND ON ARRIVAL SECURITY WERE ABOUT TO DROP A HUGE CONTAINER RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, (WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN

THE BACKGROUND) JUST TO ADD TO THE NERVES.

SECURITY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO HOLD THEIR OPERATION AND LET GEOFF GET ON WITH HIS BUSINESS, WHICH HE DID, FIRST TIME ON THIS OCCA-SION, I DON'T THINK HIS BODY WOULD HAVE HELD UP TO MUCH MORE.

WHAT FOLLOWS IS A PICTORIAL BEHIND THE SCENES FROM THE MAK-ING OF THIS VIDEO & THE TRIPS WE HAVE BEEN ON, BUT THIS PHOTO

JUST FELT LIKE IT NEEDED A BIT OF EXPLANATION.

BaTTErEd & BruIsEd by james cox

MY TRIPOD AND GLIDECAM ARE PROBABLY THE TWO TOOLS THAT GOT THE MOST HEAVY USAGE WHILST MAKING THIS DVD. THEY’VE BEEN CARRIED ROUND ON MY BACK THROUGH CITIES AND TOWNS ALL OVER THE WORLD, TOSSED IN A MULTITUDE OF VANS, BUSES, LUGGAGE HOLDS AND BIKE BAGS, AND ALTHOUGH BATTERED AND

BRUISED, STILL LIVE TO TELL THE TALE. THE GLIDECAM IS HELD TOGETHER ALMOST ENTIRELY WITH TAPE, IN A FIXED POSITION THAT CAN’T BE ADJUSTED ANYMORE. OVER THE COURSE OF A SESSION, IT WILL SLOWLY REVOLVE AGAINST THE TAPE, AND CONSTANTLY NEEDS

RE-BALANCING. ONLY ONE OF THE TRIPOD’S LEGS FULLY EXTENDS, AND SHARP SCREWS IN THE BODY ARE EXPOSED WHERE PLASTIC

COVERS HAVE BEEN SMASHED AND GRATED OFF OVER TIME. UNLESS YOU KNOW ITS WAYS, MOUNTING AND REMOVING THE CAMERA FROM THE TRIPOD PLATE IS NEAR ON IMPOSSIBLE. DESPITE ALL

THIS, I LOVE MY TIRED, SCARRED OLD EqUIPMENT, AS IT SERVES AS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THE HUGE ADVENTURE THAT MAKING

THIS DVD HAS BEEN.
