This is a personal project that would not have been possible without the support of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. Thanks to the entire team for their generous access during training exercises and patrols this Summer. Since the Service began in 1973, it has carried out more than 21,000 missions ranging from urgent patient transfers to dangerous search and rescue missions.

The Service depends entirely on the generous support of sponsors and the community to stay flying. Donations can be made here:

This film is 100% 'real', but there are some new techniques for me here, such as using time lapse to create the illusion of forward movement for the helicopter ocean scenes. These flight sequences would not be possible without the skill and patience of Chief Pilot Peter Yates. Thanks also to Trevor Cracknell (for getting wet!) and Family.

December 12th 2008 : Edurelief update !

Thanks to all of you who watched and enjoyed Capucine's story, "Once upon a time" has made the rounds on Internet.

I wanted to put Capucine's popularity to a good use, and with the help of several awesome persons, we have set up a project in order to raise money for Edurelief, a development organization based in Mongolia, who helps providing school books to Mongolian kids.

Edurelief has a Vimeo account, where you can learn more about their work.

Jonathan, Edurelief's founder, is willing to dedicate all the proceeds we make to a specific project called "Capucine's Library", which would benefit several hundreds kids in Mongolia. We will track progress and provide photos, films, and results of this project. If you want to support Capucine and her library, you can order from the T-shirts and magnets shops following links :

zazzle.com/capucha

or if you prefer, you can also make a dedicated donation on Edurelief's website, on the Capucine's fundraiser special page :

edurelief.org/involved/people-capucine

Every contribution, even the smallest one, will make a difference !

A huge thank you to those of you who have already supported us, and to those who will be willing to join us in this new adventure for Capucine :-)

A breathtaking story by Capucine. Starring baby monkeys lost in frightening trees, a witch, crocodiles, a tiger, a "popotamus" and a lion, and even a "tremendously very bad mammoth". There are also magic powers and an orange ring, but sometimes, "something goes amiss".
Bring your popcorn and enjoy the show.
