Cecil Ledge, Queenstown. New Zealand.

I've been here three times to shoot now but this is the first time we've traveled by helicopter to location. The driveable locations are amazing but to be able to get to Milford Sound and Mount Tutoko in 35 mins by helicopter and be in a landscape that is almost unbelieveable is spectacular! Phil and Peter at helitours.co.nz were awesome and kept even our first timers nerves at ease!

Anatomy of a Cyclorama.

In my career the humble cyc is probably one of the most used pieces of equipment in my day to day work. Despite this, it's probably the thing I know the least about, other than it looks amazing freshly painted and a bad one can be a receipe for a retouching disaster!

So when I came across this bare bones repair I was pretty impressed at what went into making the big white wave. I was most surprised by the simple innovation in the wood to make it curve with ease. Nice.
