The Last Place on Earth

I made this documentary in 2002 about the beauty of New Zealand's rare and unique creatures with an American audience in mind and was narrated by Gene Galusha.' It was billed as "A spectacular journey through New Zealand - the islands that time forgot - where you'll encounter some of the oldest and rarest creatures in the world."
Wild About NZ - Rangitata

24 years ago I made a documentary series called Wild About New Zealand in which I tried to make Aotearoa/New Zealand’s Natural history accessible to city dwellers of all ages. It proved to be a hit and I won Best Factual Director at the NZTV Awards for 2000.

(You'll be surprised) Here is a documentary I made over 20 years ago but is as relevant today as when I made it. Enjoy.

Whina Mother of a Nation

Dame Whina told me her life story a year or so before she died in 1993. It was a great privilege. A movie has recently been released dramatising her life so I thought you might like to see her speaking for herself.
Bug House
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.3 года назад
I made this documentary 20 years ago about the insects that live in our homes with entemologist Ruud Kleinpaste . It was a lot of fun and very challenging because it was made in days before animations so all the insect shots are real - including the live bee flying in at the top of the programme . ( And no - I'm not going to tell you how it was done :)) Enjoy .

Monsters of the Deep

On April the 25th 1977 trawling for mackerel off the New Zealand coast the Zuito Maru snagged the rotting carcass of a huge sea creature. Concerned it would ruin the rest of their catch, the Captain ordered the mysterious creature to be dumped over the side - but not before crewman Yano Michihiko took this snapshot of it as well as sample of the animals' flesh. Was this the remains of a plesios...

You started a terrible rebellion now NZ sucks because of your hate for Pakeha and your Treaty lies and Catholic dominance ursurped the work of the Protestants.

    My experience of Peter Blake was when I was called to NZ to check out Steinlager 2 which was nearing completion. They had noticed that it was delaminating sitting in the boatyard. Something had gone in the build process ( multiple oven cures of the preg preg hull and deck components). We couldn’t work out what had gone wrong, but he made the ballsy decision to bin it and start again. The guys at Southern Pacific ( Tim, JD and Cookie), committed to getting it done in the timeframe, and I agreed to be there for the critical lay up and oven cure stages. The rest is history- but it all came from his cool decision making under pressure and managing the team to get it all sorted .

The yard was managed by Tim Gurr, but the real shop floor management and planning which was crucial in this project was Ian and John- they made it all happen. It was a great experience for me as a mere chemist who had developed the systems that they used to see the inner workings of a top notch boatyard. I also developed a good friendship with the two of them that carried over to future work on AC boats.

    The stories Peter told about Burton Cutter in the privacy of long sailing trips made the one he tells here look rather innocuous and quaint! Long distance sail racing in those days was sometimes about as organised as a zoo improvised at short notice by small children. But I had forgotten that the first time they had sailed the yacht was across the start line . . .

      Given his pragmatic tendency to pick people with the right stuff and then trust them to get on with it, and given that Dalts and Shoebie were two of his most loyal and trusted lieutenants on his favourite Whitbread campaign, I'd say he'd support it if that was their considered proposal, under the circumstances of the day.

    This is only a third of the story. His greatest achievement is creating Team New Zealand and bringing home the Americas cup. Sir Peter Blake's instilling that team ethos in TeamNZ where everyone has a say in the part of the yacht they control this is why TeamNZ can't be beaten. Grant Dalton still lives under the skirts of greatness of Sir Peter Blake.

    I was in Aus by the time the Whitbread races were a thing … with very poor media coverage of anything NZ … and no internet then. I remember following it nonetheless. And then the America’s Cup. I only sailed a few seasons myself … on a slow boat, but still connect with the challenge of it all. When the red socks thing came along I was on (Melbourne’s) Collins St and in a suit every weekday. But I started wearing red socks then and have ever since. More diligently since Sir Peter’s tragic end. I never met the man, but somehow he’s one representation of NZers for me.

    Pete was a regular under the motorway bridge when I was 11. As a child I ran away from home regularly and slept out with the WCSL crew. It's strange because I never quite understood why he always behaved the way he did back then. As a kid it never stood out with the people I was surrounded by. Knowing what I know now I feel really sad for him looking back.
