Have you ever wanted to be a movie star?<\/p>\n

Dacinka Home Video (GC44DAC<\/a>) invites geocachers to become the stars of their very own short film!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cache Owner Dacinka<\/a> created this \u201cuntraditional\u201d Traditional Cache in a 2014 contest organized by geocaching.cz<\/a> and the Mikisi Blog<\/a>. This contest challenged geocachers to design a cache featuring a video camera. The Swedish company Axis provided the camera, while Czech NetRex helped cache owners install the equipment. Dacinka\u2019s winning design incorporated the camera with a simple yet clever Traditional Cache installed in their front garden.<\/p>\n

The cinematic streets of Karlovy Vary set the scene. Preserved as a national cultural monument<\/a>, the city center\u2019s quaint buildings and houses seem straight out of a period-piece historical drama. In fact, many films and TV shows have been set or filmed in this historic city!<\/p>\n

But as geocachers approach GZ<\/a>, they are transported to a magical zen garden with a waterfall, pagoda, and rock garden. Don\u2019t let the tranquility of the garden deceive you, because now is the time to put your acting skills to the test!<\/p>\n

In addition to signing the log book, geocachers can choose to record their visit with a video. Simply ask the friendly snail statue for help to reveal the camera. Dacinka encourages geocachers to say where they’re from and leave a short message to the geocaching community. The videos are then uploaded to the cache\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

True to the creative nature of geocachers, many visitors choose to go above and beyond with their performances. Songs, skeletons, a little romance, and even a live fish have made an appearance!<\/p>\n
