2. Yahoo shoot in Taiwan
• One of the elements for
our shoot in Taiwan was
the Chinese New Year
celebration at a
monastery about an hour
north of Taipei in the
country. National TV in
Taiwan was also there.
The exterior of the main
building is shown top left
and the a close up of the
bell is lower left.

the bell 108 times over a period of 3 hours until midnight

4. All of these images were shot with my new Sony PDW700
in 24p mode. The monks chanted throughout the
ceremony!

5. Our host was Mr. Lin. He is the founder of the Cloudgate Dance Troupe, an
internationally known dance troupe which combines modern and traditional folk
dance styles. We interviewed him for Yahoo! Here, Mr. Lin is at prayer.

6. Monks!

7. The president of Taiwan shows up! We found out on our
drive to the monastery. Security was limited to say the
least!

8. After the speeches, producer Michael Harris and I, along
with Mr.Lin headed home with a renewed spirit after an
amazing evening! Thanks for watching!
