Re-living the experience through film...

Although I really haven't had a solid block of time to sit down and go through the footage minute by minute, I did duck down into my editing suite (also known as my basement) today for an hour. I smiled and laughed and grimaced and most of all remembered and re-lived the 10 days that was Hike For Survival. I watched the progression of nerves and stress on the first few days of the hike through to the elation and thrill of the last few days as we realized what we had achieved. I was worried that we hadn't captured the essence of the adventure as quite often the most exciting things happened off camera because we didn't have the cameras rolling 24/7 but I was wrong. You can still live the adventure through our reaction to the excitement and hear our thoughts and our emotions in the video diaries we kept. The vistas are amazing and the camaraderie apparent. I am really excited to begin editing this thing together. Now to just find the time... - Ky
