In Kyushu all this week on a TV soot for the natural hot springs of Kyushu, including Kurokawa and Beppu. The shoots involve hopping into about 5 hot springs a day. The average temperature is 42-45 degrees, while outside it's freezing,... Some shoots were at outdoor hot pools, and so it was snowing while I was "relaxing" in the steaming waters.
Snow became a problem by the 2nd day of the shoot, so much so that the TV crew van got stuck in the snow at Kurokawa, and we couldn't get up the slight hill to get out of town. Snow chains were fitted, and we spent an hour in the heavy snowfall trying to fit them to the front weels,...still the van wouldn't climb the slope,...not until a passing truck driver pointed out that we were in a rear wheel drive van,...and the chains should be fitted to the rear,... D'oh!
