Episode 3 is out, this episode has been a bit of a cursed episode, finally
released almost a month and a half behind schedule, due to unforeseen technical
issues of filming editing and producing the series while in the road traveling
in Central America. In February my computer unexpectedly stopped working after
a slight incident with a bag man in Panama dropping my bag (containing my
laptop) I had tried hard to protect. I was unable to do repairs on the computer
in Panama as in 5 days I was to fly out to Belize, I decided to fix it in
Belize and lost a week of good editing time. on arrival in Belize the computer
worked again, and I began editing again in-between guiding client groups out on
the islands, then the computer stopped working again, this time we found the
issue was the video card that had been shaken lose in travels. It finally
seemed I could get the Episode finished however I then had issues with the
final render, and after pulling out every graphic and change in the area where
the render froze, I found the image that caused the issue and the episode got
done.
Also in the past month and a bit, I had my SLR camera stolen along with all
my memory cards containing all the footage from Panama (only to find again,
along with bags, passports another computer and more stuff stolen from our
tent; scattered along the beach in the night with the high tide threatening to
engulf it). I then lost my Main GoPro Camera with LCD back pack and flat lens
in the surf while filming. It has been a challenging project to release episode
3 of the TRAK files amongst the ongoing adventures, filming and guiding. I hope
you enjoy!
