We drove up to Devil's Kitchen, a massive ravine of iced waterfalls, in Hunter, New York. With Justin and crew shooting at the base of a 100-foot ice waterfall, I was tied to a tree perched 10 stories up on the side of a cliff capturing panoramic shots of the scene. Filming was very exciting as I was in a sitting position in the snow with only a camera and tripod with me and it was amazing. But the mile hike out of the ravine after the shoot was extremely difficult and exhausting. It was by far the most taxing thing I've ever had to do on a shoot. The town of Hunter had over 3 feet of snow fall on it today, and trying to climb out of the gully with camera and tripod in hand buried in snow was.... well all I can remember is how hard I was breathing to get air in my lungs.
Overall, it was a great shoot. Justin and Ray (the DP) were great to work with and be on the lookout for the character of Baron Ambroisa who is a force to be reckoned with. You can watch all episodes of "Bronx Flavor" at www.bronxflavor.com
