JOB CERS expedition DATE Apr 2009
CLIENT China Exploration & Research Society FORMAT HDV
LOCATION Yunnan, China CAMERA Canon XH-G1
Catholic Church, Yunnan
Shooting for the China Exploration & Research Society is alway a pleasure. Here I am in a cave, in China - starting a caving film, which I am excited about...

During this trip I also finished filming the St Bernard Mission to Tibet film. It was nice to get the end shots of the St Bernard film, which started with me interviewing a 90 year old St Bernard Priest in Switzerland :o) - and finished in a beautiful part of N. Yunnan - his parish, so many years ago - seeming very much like the Swiss alps.

I particularly liked the Christmas lights around the statue of Christ in the Yunnan church :o)
