Good old tow

Making of the film for Faculty of Economics from Subotica, Serbia was already in progress. It was necessary to shoot some scenes at Palić while the camera was on the vessel. One of the girls from the video was sitting on the popular "lover's bench", while a two-member team took Oxon (a craft on the water). The wind was relentless, and the Oxon was slowly gliding over the lake towards the destination. We shot enough scenes and went back upwind. To our astonishment, the engines stopped working. While we were shouting for help, the wind was slowly taking us in the opposite direction. We could see from the distance that help was on its way, but we laughed our heads off when we realized that those were actually two workers on a pedal boat who thought they could have helped us. It took us more than half an hour to reach the desired destination, partly because of the wind, and partly because of the load we were dragging. Our girl from the video perpetuated this moment, so you can see this situation on the photo.

The film had its premiere on the May 17, 2010 and it marked the 50th anniversary of Faculty of Economics in Subotica.
