Should mention...later on he was 'Lighting Guy' on the US series of Survivor ...starting with the second one...which was shot in Queensland.... and by the time it was 'Survivor Africa' he was Lighting Director, up until the whole shebang was sold to the network who promptly thought they could do it in-house better...
At about the same time his wife was inadvertently holding up filming of LOTR as she had their horse wrangler on 'The Pony Club' so filming af a big battle sequence was delayed a bit...
