Life Aboard SARA
These one-minute video clips filmed in the Red Sea and the Dalmatian Coast (ex Yugoslavia) were part of a television series project that my long-term partner, Elizabeth, and I came up with as substitute for smuggling to pay the bills. The series was meant to be a sophisticated reality series. More personal, less scripted, and way more real than almost all reality shows. Our method of creation was to explore everywhere we sailed. Get the footage then record the voice-overs live at a meeting right after the action, while it was still fresh and exciting.
RYI Television of Italy, and a lot of filmmakers, musicians, and producers contributed. In the end we just became discouraged by the ego trips inherent in broadcast television. However I think you’ll agree we have the best home sailing videos ever.
