Wild Brazil Pilot

I went to Brazil to film a pilot with Richard Rasmussen, Brazil's most famous wildlife TV presenter.
We headed to the Atlantic Forest, about a 3 hour drive from Sao Paolo, to film Richard searching snakes,. spiders and all creepy crawlie things!

Filming the elephant arriving in Salem



Following and filming the transportation of an elephant from the Nilgiri Hills to a sanctuary in Salem. A 300km drive that took 12 hours.



Look up at the building, top left corner...yep...just there...those little figurines...that's us.



Waiting for the truck carrying the elephant to drive into Salem.
Very tired and very groggy!



I do tired and groggy very well, especially after having just stepped in human shit!



Filming outside Mysore Palace

Gory stuff!



Luke, Marc and Myself. Nathan is taking the picture.



Believe it or not am actually filming a donkey in a rickshaw here!



Luke and the donkey in the rickshaw!



Puttarpathi, or put more frankly Sai Baba Town



We went to a little village where every year thousands of storks come and nest so we decided to film the guys that go there to rescue all the chicks that break their legs, wings or have bad falls.






Watching Luke operate on a dog. Notice I am the only one not wearing a gown or mask. Funny that!













Accident with a rickshaw.

Malawi

Malawi - Kung Fu

On our epic tour of the globe, we stopped off in Malawi for a couple of weeks.
While filming, crowds would gather and the kids would shout "Chucky, Chucky, Chucky" and do kung fu impressions whilst pointing and laughing at Marc the producer.

We got to the bottom of it. All the kids thought that Marc was Chuck Norris!!! How strange, obviously they still watch all the old 80's episodes.
Taking an arty picture was near on impossible as all the kids would jump in front of the camera and start their kung fu moves.
I have never been to a place whose people love having their picture taken so much!! Kids and adults alike would fight to be filmed or have their pic taken!!



I decided to line all the children up against a wall and get them to pose their favourite kung fu move while maintaining some kind of order.


























There is always one that escapes!
