It seems like on the first day you motored to the top, and the second day you motored to the bottom. Why did you start from the Dokis Reserve unless they are directly involved? It would have been shorter and faster to use the access from The Lodge at Pine Cove, except for Restoule Rapids then. Five Fingers is kind of a gnarly rapid to even pretend running a canoe down, what was filmed here?

Yeah we were scouting the area from the Dokis Reserve for a film production, then we had a bunch of sequences to film on the rapids, so had to test them out for the stunt team, and the safest place to do the filming. Since we had a week for preparing the location, we took advantage of running our team through some site specific training. Never mind rafting the rapids we had to drive our big camera crane boats up and come back down in reverse with a canoe attached while they filmed the close ups of the actors, now that was challenging.
