Malaysia Video 2

May 2nd, 2008

(Bigger version!)

Hey – check it out – I actually delivered! The video clip opens up in the Samudra Restaurant of the Gem Island Resort. We’re finishing a weird “American breakfast” which includes cold baked beans, fruit, and an egg or two. With bread. The scenery is beautiful. Then you see a crab hiding in the rocks during a slightly overcast post breakfast drizzle.

You’ll see an aircraft fly by between the islands – some rich people were playing tag in them or something. They just followed each other in circles joyriding. I filmed it because the last pass by was made really really low to the water, and it looked sweet. Anyhoo. You’ll see a swimming baby sea turtle next. He was hatched in safety in the conservation center’s hatchery, and is being kept and fed until his future release into the wild.

What you’ll see next is beach shot after beach shot after beach shot. That is, if you don’t press stop. And I suggest you don’t, because I forgot one clip from yesterday and included it at the end today. Forgive my beach-happy video. It’s a shot of every beach on the island. Then you’ll see some tropical fish swarming over some hunks of bread we threw in the water. Gorgeous.

After that you’ll a rooster tail off the back of a motorboat taking us back to shore. Booo. Bye bye, paradise. Then, the inside of our flight as people get on board. The temperature differential is so high, you can actually see the air conditioning – like when you open your freezer and you see the mist tumble out. Wild. And lastly, you can see the forgotten clip – me swinging on an actual jungle vine, like Tarzan. Am I cool or what? (After you see it, you’ll know the answer is NO.) :-P
