Kings of the River – a short film by Reel Action Media
Author: Tucker LaddSince finding out that I’ll be headed to Bolivia in May 2011 to chase Golden Dorado, I have been scowering the interenet for any snippets of info I can find on this amazing fish. I came across this amazing video this morning and had to share it with our faithful followers. Enjoy!
http://www.vimeo.com/13649993Shot in spring of 2009 by Mike Nelson of Patagonia Fishing Company on an HVX200, this was a fun festival piece. Mike has some camera experience but mainly he excels at putting people into great fishing situations. I had to find a way to make the footage work and decided to go for a surrealist touch. Hence the hyper saturation and mattes. All sounds were location sounds. The percussion sound came from a log in the current shown in the 2nd clip of the film.
