Kristen and I recently had the privilege of being asked by iinet to shoot a short promotional video for the iinet “1000 Hour Day Expedition” website. This to promote the educational resources available to schools on the site.
Whats the expedition all about? In 2005 young Australian adventures Chris Bray and Clark Carter took on the challenge to travel unsupported across Victoria Island, the world's ninth largest and largely unexplored island. After 58 days of hauling, paddling and dragging 250kgs of gear behind them in their home-made aluminium kayaks with fold-down wheels, they were only 1/3 the way across!
Experiencing an incredible adventure including wolves, polar bears, artefact's, blizzards and unseen landscapes - they vowed to return to complete their journey. After two years of planning and the backing of iinet as a major sponsor, the “iiNet 1000 Hour Day Expedition” is shaping up for May 2008.
It was great to meet the guys and capture some of their story on video,
For all the photographers stopping by, Chris is also a talented wilderness and wildlife photographer and for the expedition Canon have agreed to sponsor him with $15,000 worth of equipment. Arriving in the mail for him the other day included a Canon EOS-1D Mark III and a hole bunch of accessories to match. Lucky bugger.
Its great to see iinet behind the expedition and the 1000 Hour Day website looks great. You can also keep track of Chris and Clark's position when they set off through the site as they will be carrying a Personal Location Device which will beam back their position to the site here via satellite every few hours.
Chris and Clark, We wish you all the best with the Expedition and hope to work with you again soon. We will be eagerly tuning in to the site. Good Luck!

Thanks! You guys did an exceptional job at filming and editing together that video clip. It's fantastic, and I know the conditions you filmed it in were far less than ideal! Good work. Chris Bray
