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..

We've had a few press set visits this past week with photographers and writers - they seem to have liked what they saw. Keep an eye out for some press in coming weeks. Big thanks to Empire (
www.empireonline.com.au) & Fangoria (
www.fangoria.com) magazines for coming on set to check out what we're doing - their reports will run closer to the release of the movie.
Our live stream is happening next Thursday, November 5. A LOT of hard work has gone into setting this up so I hope all of you reading have registered on our website and are planning to tune in. As I've mentioned before, this is a world first concept and the team assembled to make it happen are working diligently to offer a unique online experience.
Apparently there is an article in the Sunday Mail here in Australia on the 25th October about a mauled Great White Shark caught in the shark nets off the Queensland coast. According to the experts, the bite radius on the mauled shark indicates a suspected Great White Shark easily larger than 5 metres. Food for thought...

Heading into week 3 of our shoot. We lucked in last week with some good weather, but it's proving to be touch and go this week. Storm forecasts have forced us to work with a contingency plan for filming just in case mother nature decides not to co-operate.
One of the scenes we've been filming is a dialogue scene upon an overturned 38-foot boat hull - so working on these scenes with having to potentially change locations and how we film can be tricky...but our team is prepared and we're ready for whatever challenges we face. Ah..the joys of film making huh?
The daily rushes and footage we've seen so far has been turning out great...I'm happy with what we're getting. The actors are working hard in difficult conditions - can you imagine going to work each day and spending up to 10 hours in the water? When you see the finished film remember for the cast and crew alike - this is definately not a 9to5 job so anyone who's been reading these entries hopefully will appreciate how hard everyone's been working.
Check back tomorrow for another update...
