The Dance of #Bermuda #Humpback #Whales 2014 @whalesbermuda

April 25, 2014 Published by

Every once in a while I have a close encounter with humpbacks. These encounters are always on the whales’ terms. They come to the boat, the engine is off, and I am completely passive. Over time they can become increasingly curious. This encounter was the better part of three hours and by the end they were literally sticking their noses in my face. The camera shake is because I was so cold! Most of my footage is taken with a heavy Gates housing and the rig weighs around 60 pounds which is like having a tripod. This lightweight Sony camera isn’t so stable in the hands of a shivering cameraman. On the other hand, I might not have been able to swim for three hours with a heavy Gates in my hands. – Andrew Stevenson

600ft Rope Swing Bungee Jump – Magwa Falls, South Africa

April 14, 2014 Published by

Mike Wilson and Bermudian Andrew Kirkpatrick have traveled to South Africa to build the most insane rope swing bungee jump. Ever. What’s a rope swing bungee jump, you ask? Well, exactly what it sounds like, only bigger.  This one (the biggest ever? The first ever?) plunges 600ft straight down into the Magwa Falls gorge and and features four seconds of pure, hair-raising free fall. Sure, it’s safe, but that doesn’t mean it’s not scary as hell. Would you take the plunge?

Director & Producer: Andrew Kirkpatrick

Stunt Coordinator / Rigging: Mike Wilson

Bermuda WAS Another World – Marquedelle Rodriguez

April 8, 2014 Published by

The average Bermudian makes more money than 99% percent of the world’s population

This 5 minute clip by teen filmmaker Marquedelle Philip-Rodriguez challenges these somewhat misleading figures and brings forth a much different and harsher reality from the shadows of the Bermudian archipelago. Dark, unstable visuals accompanied by a remake of one of Bermuda’s most iconic tunes – Bermuda Is Another World – transformed through a melancholic solo piano piece reminiscent of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Heartbeart – Returning to the Womb,”  bring home the sensation that the island is NOT a paradise for all. The sirens of ambulances, shocking newspaper headlines with previsions of doom, spiraling violence, the homeless, industrial disputes, astronomical prices …

It is the island of Bermuda of which we speak – A place once so fantastically unique and yet it is transforming right before our eyes as it connects with the world and becomes globalized. We are the future – Marquedelle Philip-Rodriguez
