Hollywood here we come. Triton provided actors and equipment for some in water and underwater filming for Discovery Chanel at the weekend. The filming was for an episode of "True Heroes" about a group of fishermen in Florida who rescued some people from a car after it crashed into a river. Naturally the 5 club members and staff who volunteered could not miss the opportunity to fly over to Florida to rub shoulders with the stars .... ah, yes, it might well of happened in Florida, and the local footage was taken a few weeks ago, but on this occasion we just need a lake where we can dump a car and stage some rescues. ..... So Horsea lake will be fine! Ok, so Horsea was not exactly Florida as far as film locations go, but with a few special effects I'm sure you won't know the difference. The day was full of luvvies and darlings, cries of "where is my trailor", "I cant work in these conditions" and "I am an actooooor dont you know". With Ian hamming it up so much he needed to be reprimanded for over acting, and Julie's big moment resulting in something that you will probably see on a TV out-takes in a few years it was a day of fun. Far from just hanging around in the background, the guys were all very much in the action. I have posted some images from the day in the gallery and there are a few in the slide show below .... and will let you know when the programme goes on air. Bunch of posers!
With the viz in the Solent about 1m, some of the club members decided to have a little trip to Portland. We 'teamed up' with Fathom and Blues who looked after us a treat.
