Carnival in Salvador, we bought tickets to join the blocos "Balada". Basically what happens when you buy a ticket is you get a special shirt called a camarote which is your actual ticket, this shirt allows you to get inside the rope surrounding the band which is on top of a truck with huge speakers.

A view of Sao Sebastiao from the car on the way to the ferry After...

Almost 8 years ago, while I was on a trip to Brazil with my wife, I got a call from my friend Eric. "Are you in Rio?" He asked. “I will be in 2 days” I replied. “I need a helicopter shot of Christ the Redeemer for 'Alias'”. I, of course, jumped on the case and took my first helicopter ride with my little digital camera. During the shoot, I really got how great Rio was as a backdrop for a movie. Along with my experience in Salvador, Bahia... I knew I would be back. I’m prepping and planning for a feature that we’re hoping to shoot in Brazil in 2012. It seems like a long way away but in producti...
