The
production crew in Inverness
 A
GallCommTV crew traveled to the Snowy
Highlands of Scotland on Sat 20th Jan 2006 to capture extra footage required
for the completion of the forth-coming Streetboarding DVD.
During the four days in Inverness they shot interviews with Highland
Streetboards Neil Thomson and recorded some
footage of Neil demonstrating basic board moves.
The last two days were spent on the slopes of the famous
Nevis
Range, filming Neil snowboarding and recording pieces to camera
demonstrating the similarities between Snowboarding & Streetboarding. Click

Finally, after a grueling few days shooting the crew were treated to some time
on the slopes with hired boards etc. compliments of
GallCommTV, and expert tuition from Neil who,- amongst his other
attributes, - is a fully accredited Snowboarding Instructor.
Neil Thomson doing one of his "There are many
close similarities between Street & Snowboarding" pieces to camera. That's
Ben Nevis in the background. The crew reportedly
didn't like the cold too much whilst actual filming, nor it seems did our
batteries. "I'm fed up carrying so many of these blooming batteries around!"
a certain assistant producer and Sound Recordist was often heard to declare.
Getting all the equipment up the slopes was quite a job, but we are very
grateful to the management, and the staff at the Nevis
Center for all their help with the task (especially the
Snow-Cat driver!) A visit to this wonderful
mountain range is well worth the effort. Visit
www.nevisrange.co.uk,
have a look around and experience the whole breathtaking vista for your self.
The staff there will stop at nothing to ensure you have the most outstanding
experience ever!
Funny thing? ... how soon the crew miraculously
recovered their strength in time to enjoy the snowboarding lessons from Neil at the end of
the shoot!?

The whole crew wish to express their grateful thanks
to Mr. & Mrs. Thomson for looking after them so well at the Thomson home for the
duration of their stay in Inverness. 't was a home-from home. Go raibh maith
