Offhollywood does EGYPT

[Mark L. Pederson]

After 30 + days on shooting in NYC & Washington DC, FAIR GAME is now shooting in EGYPT before moving to JORDAN and then onto MALAYSIA.

We have couriers (we call them "mules") flying back to NYC every two to three days with media.

Egypt marks the 7th country our cameras have seen action in outside the USA - following Italy, Argentina, South Africa, Thailand, China, and Malaysia.

Here's a few snaps -

#1 is director Doug Liman
#2 is B-Camera operator (and all around awesome guy) Robert Baumgartner
#3 is our favorite 1st AC Nick Demas

isn't Jordan spelled with an "a," or can it be both ways?

you are correct. fixed.

If you've ever read any of my posts .. you know ... I can't spell shet.

Mark,

very impressive especially this crane in front of uranium mines field (Mines d'Uranium) (!!?),

btw, how Sahara's heath and daylight "working" with hot mirrors?

 

[Bob Rudis]

Nicks the best...

 

[Mitch Gross]

Love seeing those Abel accessories hanging off your camera! ;-)

 

[Brent Carter]

The man with the rubber glove was surprisingly gentle....

I hope they are shooting CF instead of RED-RAM or RED-DRIVE, it is much easier on the body cavity.

Great stuff as always, Mark!

Ahhh, good old Egypt, been there twice on filming assignments, one of the most amazing places in the world and one of the most frustrating experiences for me personally, one of those places I'm dying to go back to but don't know whether I could survive it...and let's just leave it at that...How's that dusty sand that covers everything in a matter of seconds treating ya? Don't know it's there until you wipe the front filter clean and realize how much cleaner and sharper images got all of sudden

Is it just me or since Offhollywood became a pioneer in the RED technology their fortunes have improved considerably it seems? Not that the talent, hard work and determination weren't there before, but every time Mark lists a new gig, it's always with bigger and bigger names. Good for you guys!

We crush more canned air in a week here than in a month in the states.
