Filming in a Hostile Environment
This was the subject of a talk by Paul Kittel. Paul is a freelance cameraman working for a number of television company's including the BBC .
Paul opened his talk defining what he meant by hostile environment, pointing out that even the seemingly normal environment can produce risks to the film maker. There is a larger element of risk when filming in areas of natural hazards such as fast flowing rivers, earthquakes, desert conditions or jungles with creepy crawlies and mosquitoes.
Most of these conditions are unavoidable but their impact can be minimized by proper preparation for example, in jungle conditions carrying sufficient amounts of water is imperative. This can be even at the expense of filming equipment. On occasions the film crew can get lost even with professional support, one can survive for days without food, but without water that is another matter .
