Kesser Shoots Lifewater Documentary in Kenya
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carl Kesser, Kesser Productions traveled to Kenya to shoot a documentary for the World Wildlife Fund. His son Jason accompanied him and this is a segment from Jason's journal:

We're here with the most minimal amount of equipment. Really doing it Run and Gun style. Before, we left we both packed a light bag for fashion, a set of wireless mics, a Sony EX-1 purchased from Midtown, a mildly lightweight tri-pod, two drives, and a laptop. Until I got here on the ground though, I didn't realize how lightly we had packed, and how heavy. You never know until you're there, when you're carrying the equipment that you don't need and missing what you left behind, that you're on your own, and your equipment is going to make your journey part of history.
