I am glad the film came out okay. (I’ve not watched it; maybe someday in my old age.)
This is the fifth or sixth time I’ve had cameras following me around while building a project (Old Macdonald, Sebonack, Tara Iti, Maha Napa which still hasn’t been built, Te Arai, and High Pointe 2.0). I can’t say I like it . . . naturally it’s being funded by the client, and the assumption is that you’re doing something great and historic, even before you’ve DONE anything. I always worry it will get in the way of the actual creative process, so recently I’ve been asking clients NOT to do it.
I had to twist Reuben’s arm a bit to get him to include more of my crew, instead of making it all about me. I hope that part came through, anyway!
