What impressed me most here is the dynamic range of the film. Would have required HDR merge on digital.
Transport 2 was a specialist cargo mover, of a type used by some mining operations on Hibernia. It carried single, short standard container of high-value goods. In the case of mines, this was often explosives, denoted by an orange hazard label.
The concept for the vehicle was based on 4x4s used in Iceland. These had oversized, low-pressure tyres that helped them to gain traction on snow, tundra and bogs.
For driving in poor weather, the vehicles were equipped with stereoscopic radar on the right and an image intensifier turret on the left. Satellite tracking was also fitted. This was partly in case of a mechanical breakdown in the wilderness but mainly to keep track of the goods. The vehicles were painted yellow, like many mine & quarry machines, with visual recognition patterns, such as stripes or chequers, that could easily be seen in blizzards.

Campus at Biosphere 2, near Tucson, Arizona. Biosphere 2 was opened in 1991 to a crew of 8, who spent two years in the completely enclosed environment, who tested our ability to create closed ecosystems that could sustain humans. It was meant to recreate what would be possible on a space colony. They grew there own food, made there own oxygen and water, and had a food system 5x more productive than equivalent space in open space. On the other hand, they broke into two factions that disliked one another, and the closed systems took an enormous amount of external energy to keep them going, as there was no solar energy used. Today it serves as an experimental facility for the University of Arizona.

Dragged my friend back out to Rindoon Castle on a fab clear night. Did my first ever night shoot. Loved it.

-At Fant's apartment, two weeks after the Neon incident-
Alright, so I'm in the Top 5. This is where it gets tough. You can't just stick to beating up small-time thugs and low-level threats and still expect to get past 5th. I need to step my game up even more. The question is how?
"I need an expert's opinion. Maybe I could ask Captain Beam! I mean, he is at number 2 on the Hero Board...aaand I'm talking to myself again."
After a couple minutes of searching the internet, I find Beam's phone number and call him to ask for some tips.
"Hey, Beam, this is Matchstick. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to rank up past 5 on the leaderboard?"
B: "Sure, you just gotta...take out those bad guys! And, um, save...people!"
"Wow...that was so helpful, but I was kind of hoping for something a little more specific?"
B: "Well, uh, you know. Hero things! Alright, I gotta go. Baddies to beat, people to save. Hero stuff. Good luck, kid."
"You basically just repeated everything you already said, but alright. Thanks, I guess."
A couple moments of awkward silence pass before he hangs up.
"Well, that was weird."
I go out around town to try to find some hero work to do. I'm wandering around one of the poorer neighborhood apartment complexes, when I start to hear screaming and see the smoke in the air. I run about a block down the street and see one of the two-story buildings on fire.
There's a grown lady at the upstairs window crying and wailing desperately for someone to help her. I blast off the ground and propel myself up and over to the building. The woman sees me approaching and backs away from the window and into the room, so I can enter.
Just as I'm about to be at the window, I get blasted in the back. I fall to the ground, the impact causing the back of my head snap onto the concrete a little bit.
Dazed, and vision blurry, I see a purple costumed figure run into the building, and only moments later, come back out with the woman in his arms.
?: "Are you okay, ma'am?"
Woman: "I am now. Thank you so much, Captain Beam."
CAPTAIN BEAM?! As I start regaining my vision, he's putting her down, then looks over his shoulder, and makes direct eye contact with me, then gives a smug look and walks away.
"What a poser!"
Woman: "How dare you talk about a top-ranking hero like that! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
"I was about to save you, and he blasted me in the back!"
Woman: "Now, why would such a nice man do something like that?"
I was just wondering the same thing...
