Made it to Vegas. Immediately drove out to Death Valley for a five-hour video shoot. Incredibly beautiful. Incredibly hot. Few things as beautiful as a desert sunset.
When everything was said and done we captured 138 gigabytes of video on an amazing camera called Red. We're back at it before sunrise tomorrow for another four hours of shooting. The final product will be a documentary film series called Surrendered & Untamed.
By the way, we're staying at a place called Buffalo Bills. The room was $18. That's nuts! And we ate at a place called The Mad Greek Cafe. Pretty good gyros!

$18? That's just crazy!
Mark while you're out there you should read up on the Badwater Ultramarathon
from their website (badwater.com): "Recognized globally as "the world's toughest foot race," this legendary event pits up to 90 of the world's toughest athletes - runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and mountaineers - against one another and the elements. Covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA in temperatures up to 130F (55c), it is the most demanding and extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet."
The runners have to run on the paint lines on the road or their shoes will melt in about an hour due to the scorching asphalt! Crazy stuff! I read about it from Dean Karnazes book "Ultramarathon Man" one of the most riveting books I've read!
Who is the lucky person/church that owns a RED camera? I was just pricing one out the other day. Really cool camera that does 4k+ still shots too.
