For a few great years, Steve Schapansky had the opportunity to work with Nick Vujicic and document his tours around the world. This video was one of the first jobs Steve had as a videographer. He literally bought a camera a few days before the trip and then went into action. The video and voiceover were made great because of who Nick is. Nick had a unique ability to speak to crowds, but find and focus on the one person that needed a word of encouragement the most. Going into the prisons was exhilarating. It seemed, at the time, that the guards weren’t concerned for the film crew saftey, but just wanted to make sure they weren’t delivering any weapons to the inmates. Truly a unique experience. Although this footage was shot in the middle of Colombia, Steve had a chance to travel and document Nick through India, many parts of Asia, and Africa. It was a pleasure working with Nick. Some of the best memories and adventures RPM has seen.
