Film & Editing Blog - Behind the Scenes

Blimey! it's a hard day and it's only lunchtime! We've trecked for about 4 hours in the baking heat and high altitude and I'm really glad we've got this break. It also gives me a chance to pull down the footage from my 5D mk II onto the MacBook Pro so I can take a look. We are days away from any power supply so I'm using the Goal Zero Sherpa Solar Powered kit which consists of a solar array, battery (very heavy!!!!) and inverter. This allows me to completely recharge the MacBook pro and still has enough juice left to recharge several 5D batteries and the HF s21 battery. A bonus of the heat and sunshine is that there's plenty of sunlight to recharge the solar array battery! :)

In this picture you can see the 5D mk II rig connected to the MacBook Pro via USB and the laptop is plugged into the Goal Zero Solar Array.

The yellow tent is the kitchen tent where Alex our cook is preparing something yummy to eat!
