A Streaming Success!

Thursday, November 05, 2009

What a great day.  Our world first live stream - on the net from a film set.  Could have gone horribly wrong, but instead it was AMAZING. The cast and crew were saying hi to friends and viewers, thousands in fact.  The viewers who joined us were all hyped, and the general vibe was that the stream was strangely compelling - even when there were quiet moments!  What a hoot - inviting the world on to our set.

For anyone who missed it - we will include some portions online at some point - stay tuned for details.  And remember you can always email the website if you didn't get a chance to ask a question and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible. 

I'd also like to thank the entire cast and crew & the streaming team who made this happen.  

I loved it. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and helped make this a resounding success.

 

Day 20 + Live Stream tomorrow!

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Day 20.  Back in the water.  What looked like a calm, still day on dry land proved to be a bit rougher once we got out in the open ocean. Each day has presented its own unique water challenges, and today was no different.  A few of the crew got sea-sick in the rough water, but carried on like the troopers they are.  We also filmed some scenes at one of the Marinas as well as on board our boat "Boomerang".

So our live stream is tomorrow.  The cast, crew and all involved are buzzing with excitement!  We've had some fantastic press support, news stories and placements - so to all the media who have come on board to support this world first, on behalf of all of us here at The Reef - thank you!  

In terms of who has signed up for our live stream, we've had people from Australia, US, UK, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Japan...and the list goes on.  For anyone who hasn't signed up yet, you can still do so on the LIVE STREAM page on this website.

See you on the stream tomorrow.

Ahoy! - Dry Land..for the moment at least

Friday, October 30, 2009

We've now been filming in the water for 3 weeks.  That's been generally 10 hour days, 6 days a week.  It's been hard for all involved dealing with being in the water for so long but the cast and crew have been troopers and as of today we're out of the ocean - for at least a little while.

We're doing some scenes on one of our boats at the moment, so i'm sure everyone is happy to be out of the water for a bit.  That's not to say there's still not water involved for some lol!

Gearing up to our live stream next Thursday 5th (Aus) & 4th (US/UK), we're getting great feedback and support from media which is very encouraging, and also re-assuring to know that the hard work going into this is being recognised & appreciated.  

We're also happy to say that we've got some schools & educational bodies expressing interest in how they can incorporate the streaming into their classrooms and curriculum - we're thrilled to be able to offer some insight and a rare opportunity for some behind the scenes for young budding film makers and future film buffs as well!

Stay tuned..
