(as much as I can think of right now)
Firstly a big thankyou to my cousin, Michael Jeans, for his help and support over a long period of time and particularly for getting this blog up and running, as well as taking on the role of editor. Also thanks to Michael for coming down to Hastings and supporting Karen with the Sony DSLR camera we've bought and guiding Karen and the girls with email and other things. It took a lot of pressure off me.
I also owe a very big thank you to Tom Burstyn ( see http://www.howtosavetheworld.co.nz/ ), cinematographer and very generous guy for guiding myself and Lena in the purchase of a digital video camera, sound gear and all the other bits and pieces we've needed... and then guiding us in using the gear, giving us great ideas, and always positive, constructive feedback on our filming over the last month. We've got a long way to go but Tom has really helped us in the right direction.
For those who are interested we have bought a Sony HVR-Z series camera. For the novice documentary film maker I would totally recommend a visit to Christina Fox's website www.urbanfox.tv where you will find an excellent work book for this camera, and also for other cameras. It is an excellent website.
I want to thank Malcolm Kendall at Panavision in Auckland for his assistance and Kate Wright at Sony Business NZ for being very helpful and accommodating.
Eric Cox at Cox World Travel, Napier also deserves a mention for helping us work out our travel itinerary.
A special thankyou to Karin Muller www.japanlandjourney.com whose earlier trip to Viet Nam inspired me and then in her communications to me said to "go for it" and gave me some very direct, and very valuable, advice. Thankyou Karin.
There are plenty of other people to thank, particularly those friends and friends of friends who are going to help us along the way... We'll acknowledge them as we go. Hopefully you've already seen mention of Tuenjai Deetes in Thailand, a very special person, and followed the link to the Hill Area Development Foundation.
