I am back in a frosty Galway after spending the Christmas in Sweden. This weekend selecting and uploading footage from DV tapes onto my Mac for the video I’m making. It’s colder than usual in Ireland at the moment, but I suppose I don’t suffer from the cold the same way as the Irish do since Sweden was a lot colder. I was skiing around shooting video in -20 C. On four occassions in the same week I returned home with toes and fingers burning with numbness. Fortunately the temperature had rose to -5 when we were shooting in my neighbours’ green house. I don’t think I would have managed walking around without a jacket if it had been colder than that. But I am happy with the footage I got so it was worth it.
Next week I’ll be busy editing.
Happy 2010 everyone!
