Gimme a Break - Canada
Another episode of ‘Gimme a Break’ for CBBC took Neil Pollock - Camera, Laura Parkes - Researcher, Dave Beardsell - Director and myself to Canada for a Cowboy themed week. We went with the Trivedi Family who had great fun learning to rope cattle, riding horses like proper cowboys, eating huge amounts of grilled meat, flying through the Rocky Mountains in a helicopter, and dangling from high ropes courses by a rope. From a tech point of view i used 4 x Audio Ltd 2040 mics with DPA 4071 capsules, a Sound Devices 552 mixer for the extra channel accommodating the boom, which in this instance was my current favourite; the Schoeps CMIT 5U (see my post from Nov 2nd 2010).
It was great shoot, and much fun was had by all. The crew had a day off and we all went horseriding, and ended up a little saddlesore for the rest of the week. Below are some pics…
Howdy ma'am. I was so sore after that day...
Nice backdrop
