The series of images for the panel was shot with a 35mm still film camera suspended above the rapids on a boom. During the re-scanning process in 2011, a scan was made of all images shot and a short B&W video created from the sequence of 35mm frames.

The Last Rivers Song is a photographic project by Lloyd Godman, based on the Clutha and Kawarau Rivers before the filling of the high dam at Clyde

the project was made up of two components: large composite photo murals up to 20ft long and smaller photo - panels. The work was followed up with 2 performance works 10 years later during the filling of the hydro lake.

The project is dedicated to all free flowing rivers where ever they may be
