overs

overs are the shots that don't get chosen for the story.
doesn't mean they don't have something to say.
Outpost Rawene is going to be closed over winter,
we'll be working on our online store - and I'll be immersing
myself in fashion academia. keep you posted.

Outpost's TV debut was on Close Up last nite.
Robyn and Dave put together a great story.
Good initial content is key ingredient - for sure
but the edit is................................... everything !!!

sky over rawene

a couple of weeks ago i found a note on my verandah -
signed Fi.
a friend i vaguely knew in London - was passing thru.
a few years had gone by since we'd last met - out on the
benches at South Bank.
Fi sent me this beautiful photo of the clouds rushing over
Rawene.

The ebullient Robyn Janes and calm camera man Dave visited Outpost Hokianga in Rawene last week.
A grand finale to an incredible 07/08 summer season.
The afternoon filming will result in a tight 5 or 6 minute edit which aprox 700,000 kiwis will see around mid May.
Although the Rawene Outpost is closed over winter - the online Outpost is always open.
Did I mention the website??

Maarten Baas.
