went to newcastle to recce (locations scout) for the short Florid i am shooting next week. I just brought my lovely North Face Jacket and on sale mountain walking shoes the day before i left. And am i glad because the rain, hail and snow was coming in horizontally when we were on location (near a forrest). It was cold. A good -10c than it is in London. My first time meeting with the director. We nailed down everything by the end of my 24hr stay. I was on my way back on the train and then we halted at York, which was just under a third of my journey. Due to adverse weather and the roof being blown clean off kings cross station, we weren't to go any further. So i had to go back to Newcastle and spend an idle night there before getting back today to organize other 2 shoots.
camera rig for lucky soul
where there should be a road there is a stream (York)
where there should be grass, there is a riverI think 11 people died due to the high winds. trees falling on cars, walls falling on people. I was a lucky soul.
We aren't waiting for the 'so called' climate change we have been worried about for over 20 years anymore. It's interesting when you hear the media state, 'what can we do to change it?... turn off your lights? Drive less?' Who gives a shit if the UK has the top 10 companies that are 'green'. This- is not a local phenomenon and I- am not one try to scare anyone. If you haven't seen the film, 'An Inconvenient Truth', I implore you to see it. I have known a fair amount about global warming, since i was in my early teens. There was only one peice of information that surprised me. This was when Al Gore talks of 20ft sea level rises. Not 5 inches, not 1 ft but 20ft. And temperature rises? If you watch the news on TV, they are underestimating by a long, long, shot. Flooding not only becomes widespread with drought in some areas, but they happen in the same vicinity due to the nature of weather systems. And then he shows you what that would do to the worlds coast lines it really is a bit like 'The Day After Tomorrow'. It is already happening to small islands where indiginous people live.
What can we do? Everything we must.
