Filming in rain

With nine people in Alan's team, it was very busy so we didn't get photos of the rail track for the tripod stretching across the lounge!

Because of the lightning, umbrellas couldn't be used. They might have considered abandoning the session but could see that the garden could withstand the onslaught of heavy rain.

Our carefully planned clothing was altered at the last minute and we had to grab anoraks that didn't make crackling sounds through the microphones pinned to us. Alan dried his hair with our hairdryer part way through the afternoon - Marie didn't have the opportunity!

One of their two main cameras stopped working, and the monitor misted up despite best efforts to dry them with the hairdryer.

Alan seemed to find the whole experience exhilarating: "It's like being in the tropics!"
