New LOGO

Image
This new logo, not only that it looks a lot more professional, but was also much easier to use in the post-production. I just wish that I would have thought about this version sooner. This way I had to redo half of my work, but I am now more happy with the way it came out.

Filming Locations - Moldovita (North Eastern Carpathians)

                Mid February 2020, after more protests and after the International media was finally offering fair news coverage on the wood mafia in Romania, I decided to go back and get more footage. This time I had to "infiltrate" myself around a group of people who work for the Forest County Council and from there I managed to "open some doors". The majority of people working for this authority are certainly aware of everything that happens but they cannot do much without the proper legislation in hand. The very last few - they cannot say much either because the corrupt system has spread almost like a disease and if they don't get a share, they will know a friend or a relative who does get one; so they do not talk. And even if they do, they would redirect you to a different "branch of thieves", most probably, the nearest "competitor". In simply trying to find out the truth, you will suddenly wake up in a "pointing-fingers" blame

Crossing the Carpathians - Tihuta & Mestecanis - altitude 2000m

Having 1 more day left until our return flight to London and knowing that the biggest deforestations happen in the mountains, we decided to head towards Bucovina. We've crossed the mountains and found more touristic landmarks, breathtaking landscapes and also...after venturing for a little while, we found the Holzindustrie Schweighofer - allegedly, the biggest foreign company exploiting hundreds of thousands, if not even millions cubic meters of illegal wood every year.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holzindustrie_Schweighofer Soundtrack by: Metalog - Fatal Extremes - https://files.freemusicarchive.org/storage-freemusicarchive-org/music/Section_27/Metalogue/Paroxysm/Metalogue_-_05_-_Fatal_Extremes.mp3

Filming Locations - Sighisoara

Image
9th of November - 3:00 AM Myself and Emil have landed on Cluj-Napoca International Airport . We took a hire vehicle and started driving towards Brasov, to our destination, Sighisoara. We arrived there at around 6:00AM and we went straight to the main landmarks. As we had only 20 minutes maximum left until sunrise, in order to catch the best footage, we climbed the nearly 200 steps of the Medieval Staircase (the Scholar's Indoor Wooden Staircase) to reach the cemetery on the hill. Sighisoara - known as the City of Dracula, near the Carpathian Curvature Mountains. A medieval town with a very rich history and an abundance of tourists every year.
