Capturing the Yukon - Behind the Scenes | Life Below Zero

·Nov 11, 2024

Cameras aren't working. That's getting super frustrating. This is what it's like: I went below zero. Cameras are down, tough conditions all around. A fill-in: no heat, no power, do anything. Won't even turn on.

Yeah, Baggins, this is a typical day in the Arctic. They confessed what we got. I built this time-lapse slot box. What we're going to do with this one is try and catch the freezer.

I love doing stuff like this. Now they're trying to get live different shots, and shot says maybe we haven't seen before, like I'm late freezing up and a nice clear. I think these kinds of specialty type shots are some of the most fun parts of this whole being involved in this program.

I just really get a kick out of trying to experiment and do new things, and so this is a big part of that. He's still pretty good for level. This is completely enclosed, and this is waterproof too, so there it should be good to go and be able to stand all conditions.

We've got a solar panel hooked up to a battery that ideally was gonna keep charging this camera, and it can run for as long as it can. She said she's going.

Well, what we're trying to do is set up a really long time-lapse so that we have the Yukon breaking up. So we're just looking for that visual that looks out over the river. If you take a second look at it and it doesn't look right, then let's not do it.

Bye guys, be safe on that little night bridge. The safety guy and the director of photography just left. They're up there right now getting dropped off, and basically a nice edge of a peak.

I am really excited, a little bit nervous.

[Gonna take a couple of car batteries to run the camera so that it doesn't quit on us because we only have one opportunity to get this time-lapse, and we think it's gonna happen in this two-week window as the frozen Yukon River breaks up.]

Because my job is cool.

Yeah, it is.
