ULKC Appreciates Tea

[BrianOMahony]

Here's a post that might just tickle your fancy...

We're looking to make a short action packed video of us drinking tea while paddling. If anyone owns a GoPro or would like to get involved read on. I'm hoping for some very short, tasteful action shots of the following:

In The Pool:
- Someone looping without a paddle in the pool, holding a cup, stopping and taking a tashty mouthful after they land.
- Someone capsized in the pool trying to sip from the cup, throws it away in annoyance and handrolls. GoPro under water.
- An action shot of someone scoring in Polo, zooms in on the goalie who makes no attempt to save it, shrugs his shoulders and sips his tea under the goal.

On Gower:
- Someone suppin’ on while surfing, shot from a GoPro on someone else on the wave.

On Castleconnell:
- Someone going down castle wall having a sip with a Go Pro on the front of the boat looking at them.
- Someone else doing castle wall while having a shlurp but filmed from the side (tastefully).
- If possible, someone in a hole having a gulp shot from upriver.

Other ideas welcome but just keep in mind: if it's not stout it's not what we're about.

The end result will be a 30 second sick edit of extreme tea sipping so these must be short and action packed. If anyone is interested in helping out let me know and we’ll try to keep this in mind at the next Gower and CC trips. All skill levels welcome from “I’ve filmed blockbuster movies” to “I own a nice cup or teapot”. We’ll try to keep them funny, keep them tasteful and keep them interesting and this should work out well. And who knows if you do a good job I might even give you a pat on the back.

Thanks to all.

What's the policy then on Milk and Sugar.

I'm a fan of strong tea with just a tiny splash of milk.

(Let's not even bring herbal teas into this...)

This would be class if we can do it

Someone dies top drop on boluisce or the glens and just takes out a flask of tea at the bottom

Jesus Patrick we don't want anyone dying, its only a bit of fun

In my minds eye I'm seeing a big empty mug as the prop and just looking like we're drinking from it, but a cup and saucer combo or teapot and cup combo would also work well. Whatever looks funny and looks like there is actually tea in it will do fine. Mixing it up a little to #ChangeTheGame might be good but I'd avoid flasks. We don't want to look like amateurs.

I'll try to get the two non polo pool shots done tonight if possible. I'll bring a mug, anyone want to bring a GoPro? There might be a Lionel Richtea biscuit in it for you...

I forgot about this after I broke my good mug. I can bring a new one tonight if we'll have a GoPro.

And if CC happens this weekend I'll go and get all the ones from there.

If someone brings a gopro ill help. We also have a metal cup in our house to avoid any further breakages. (Ahem, Brian.)
