I published a new clip, this morning, that was based on a special/custom request from a fan. He purchased the latex and asked me to do some head-first shots, including some with a breathing tube and some dives. It was a cool day, so I could only return to the water and clean up about 5 times before my core temperature dropped enough that I just didn’t want to do it, again. So, I got in two takes of the head-first with breathing tube idea, and two clean dives. I added in some additional inversion scenes to add some length to the video. It’s also priced a bit high for a 5 minute video because it was a lot of work to shoot.
The entire trip was an adventure. I am just not getting out enough to stay in condition for the level of exertion that is required to paddle against the wind and the current for 2.5 miles (4 km) one way, hack a trail through the swamp grass with a machete, get in and out of the deep mud about 7 times, and paddle back (against the current, again, because the tide that was going out was now coming in!). My muscles are still sore, today, and I have blisters on my hands from paddling. It’s mostly because I’m just not getting out enough. Hopefully, that will change.
The really exciting news is that I might have shot the best quicksand video I’ve ever produced. It’s not edited, but the scene has much promise. If you’re a “death by quicksand” fan, you should look forward to that one.
