Unbelievable but true, at this hour before midnight we found a young talent from Canberra who has even found an investor to fund his flights to come and help us film and possible do post production as well!
Lucas Li was alerted to our need by a Ted's Camera Store employee,
Michael Deeble, who helped me greatly in advising and locating a suitable camcorder for the headcam. Lucas studied at ANU and specialises in Production Management (we could use that!), but is also a competent cinematographer and editor as is apparent in his entry in the Getup.org.au film competition: Oz in 30 Seconds. You can vote for him there.
One of the first excellent suggestions Lucas had was to ask about the contracts. What contracts I asked. He meant the ones I was reading about in The Idiot Guide to Filming, those crucial bits of paper... Because of his prior work experience in the field he is able to help us in the right direction and obviously help us manage our production! An inspirational DVD about CF will now certainly reach every CF clinic in the world. It is a matter of time now!
Last and not least, Qantas was very prompt, efficient and friendly in cancelling the flights for Kevin from Canada and booking Lucas on the same flights as us! Welcome aboard Lucas!
