Watch the skies!

When you wake up at 7am in the morning and get this to look at... you know you must be doing something right. There was a morning chill but with the sun rising over the hills from Callville Bay on the Nevada side, we were soon warmed up.

After a night in Boulder at the Lake Mead RV village where three of the crew (Nathan, Robin & Michael) slept in our grand caravan, two more (Andrew& Simon)in our 3 man tent & one brave soul (Normski) slept in the open air; awake half the night gazing at the numerous unseen stars in the crystal clear sky.

We then headed down to the shore line for the first day of exterior shooting on the low road next to Las Vegas bay on the shores of Lake Mead.

The results were fantastic, culminating in a low angle mounted car shot that defined the word 'epic'.
We shot for most of the day, both in the hills and outside the Haceinda Hotel Casino near Boulder, shooting some plate shots in the parking lot before heading up the long road to Rachel, stopping only to refuel and feast our eyes on some amazing metal sculptures by the side of the road.  After we cleared Vegas once more the fun really began, as we took the junction to Alamo, climbing several thousand feet an hour in the cold dark night ...
