From
the beaches outside of Cordova, we participated in an Electronic
Field Trip about the shorebirds that migrate to Alaska from Mexico.
A three-way satellite link from Cordova, Mexico and Virginia was broadcast to a million school children who had been learning about shorebirds and tracking the progress of their migration over the past three months.
This
was the second time we'd put the News Star
2 on the ferry system but this trip was slightly more
challenging in that the height of the doorway matched the height
of the sat truck. With contingency plans in place, we boarded the
ferry and returned safely two days later.
Our crew supplemented the production crew from Prince William School
District. We provided camera operators, grips, engineers and audio
assistants.
Night and Day in Alaska
Producers often wonder if they're going to have to deal with
24-hour darkness when coming to Alaska. The answer is-it depends
on where and when you go.
