I am a huge science Buff, seriously, I love doing nothing more than talking about earth science being, meteorology, geology, volcanology, pyro tech, lights tech, and astronomy! Im studying all of these in college, CHALLENGE ME! lol if you dare!
Hey Blake. I figured this thread would be a good one to tell you about a new movie coming out. It's a Disney documentary movie called "Chimpanzee". If I'm not mistaken it has come out in theaters this weekend. I was at a theater very recently and saw a preview.
I tell you Blake it looks awesome! They filmed a group of chimpanzees in a national park in the Ivory Coast of Africa. It's all filmed inside of a rain forest that is most inhospitable for humans. They follow the life a male baby chimp with a plotline that actually tells his story. I think for reasons that will relate to both of our life experiences that his story will resonate with you on some level.
One of the things they described doing was running huge ziplines of sorts in some of the the tallest trees within the canopy of the rain forest. But instead of installing pulleys to transport people from one side to another, they put video cameras on the rollers so that the camera would catch smooth breathtaking vistas of the forest from high above. They aren't video shots taken by helicopter. They are real views of the rain forest from within the trees themselves. The few aerial clips they showed in the previews looked great! So beautiful, lush and green.
I must say though that after I saw the commercial for it here in Florida, I sat there smiling and thinking of you Blake. All I could think about at that moment, besides how much I wanted to see it myself...was, "I have to tell Blake about this! I think he'll love it." I'm looking forward to seeing it soon.
And if Mark's in it at all, that would be quite the twofer. But if Mark chooses to remain off camera, that's fine as well. No pressure.
