a week of work in the west: part 1, day 3

Another early rise for the team this morning to meet up with some cows and their owners near Bodmin Moor. Unfortunately all didn't quite go to plan, but by midday we were back on track, returning to yesterdays beach on the low tide. Everyone got a solid workout lugging gear down and up the 142 steps of Bedruthan and we eventually got out of there just as the water was once again rushing up the beach. 
It was back to visit the cows in the afternoon, joined this time by some moody mist, wind and rain. Though it made the shoot more trying, the vibe was well worth the wetness. Our final shots were up on the misty moor; a derelict house and a windblown solitary tree, with the blanket of mist again setting an eerie tone... 
It had been a productive few days and I could only imagine Ed and James' excited anticipation at the thought of getting their rushes back and seeing their visions come to life. Such is the joy of shooting on film... For them, it was back to the digital world; a flight to Japan the next day to catch up with Katy Perry. For us, to the far SW in search of a days rest, and hopefully some waves...
Bedruthan with a beach...
Race again tide...
The cows are coming...
Awaiting the stampede...
Queuing cows...
Haunted house...
Mould and mortar...
And that's a wrap...
