TheBackpackr has been busy!
Man, what a busy time it has been… So much work, too little time, clients chasing us all the time (oh, hello darling clients!)
I started out The Backpackr project to see how far it would get and it’s been great fun. We fell a little short on unique visitors hitting our site, but made up for it in video views on YouTube. I’ll reveal our stats next week.
For now, I’m off for a cruise with my wife Grace (who runs Integricity Visuals and Wedding Story together with her business partners). It’s actually a work assignment from a client of hers who is coming up with a movie, and needs certain elements of the ship captured in photos and videos – so that it can be used in digital 3D recreations… amazing, huh? And of COURSE Grace can’t do the assignment alone, so she needs an adept assistant who will also share a cabin with her for cost saving reasons!
Woohooo, so Superstar Gemini, here I come… It’s not a long trip though… 3 days and 2 nights, SNORT! Let’s see… we leave on Saturday at 2pm, spend a night out at sea while heading down to Singapore, have a full Sunday on board, then disembark at 9am on Monday! WHERE’S MY 24 x 3 HOURS? It’s only 43 hours on board, not even a full TWO DAYS. Someone from the marketing team should learn how to count the hours.
Anyhow, it’s gonna be exciting, and here are two videos I found on YouTube that show what the Superstar Gemini is all about. Quality is a little crap, be warned…
Alright, I’ve got to go pack in our 2 camera bodies, flash lights, Panasonic AG-HVX202 HD video camera, notebooks, data storage drives, etc… oh yes, some clothes too, I guess…
This is called a “Gipsy” show – doubt it’ll be playing when we’re on board, but looks fairly cool.
Okay, we’re not going on the Superstar Virgo, but here’s their promo video. I hope we’ll get something like that!

Working hard as an assistant over the weekend huh? Poor you. :`(
I can’t help to feel some envy… although I know it is work related.
I’m back! And boy, it was tough – I had to lug around kgs and kgs of equipment for my boss (ze wife!) and setting up the tripod with a video camera and still cameras, etc…
And the hardest part was lounging in the swimming pool, eating their buffets, watching the dance performances, etc…
Sigh, so much work!
Good fun, good fun… will upload some pix soon.

These are my thoughts and analysis of the life behind an entrepreneur, media-junkie, gadget-junkie, photographer, once-PC-user-but-now-Mac and husband.
When I'm not traipsing the world to seek for adventure, I run Integricity, a creative design and technology agency.
