Saving Putita!
A surprise release that will be part of the bonus features on the SEWN DVD. It will show you the incredible coincidence the SEWN Production Team had to have Putita the orca stranding himself right in front of their house in Ruakaka. So Director Nicolas Brikke, Co-Producer Kirsten Berrett, and Roger Hall didn't think twice about putting on their wetsuits and giving a helping hand to Dr. Ingrid Visser from the Orca Research Trust to help Putita back to deeper waters were his mother, Yin, and brother, Rua, were waiting patiently. An experience everybody that was there - but especially those in the water are not ready to forget! It made local news, TV and newspapers and even got screened on CBS news, in the United States!
Welcome to the South Coast!!
After some successful post production, we are back on track! Today we open up the South Coast with, as usual, the production stills and footage stills.
For this coast, we went back down to Wellington, the capital city and we met up with Ian Gall, a weather forecaster at Metservice, and Nicolas Brikké, the director of this project, who is also completing studies in Geophysics in Wellington. These two will represent the South Coast, "The Head of Maui's Fish" as it is known in Maori mythology.
So check out the gallery of the website for the stills by clicking on picture:
We'll catch up again on the 11th of November for SEWN News South Coast for some Making-of footage!
Talk soon,
