Lavender Editing

Been asked by a friend of mine to do an edit project for a Lavender Farm in the South West. I must admit I haven’t edited for a while and am excited about getting stuck in, already looked through rushes and really looking forward to it. It’s the first lot of footage I’ve edited that’s been shot purely on 5D so interested in seeing how the edit software will cope. Lots of lovely shots to choose from and I’ve already asked for an acoustic track to be recored and produced thanks to a great musical contact in Bristol. Got a nice flexible deadline also in time for some festivals at the end of the year so can pace myself and not rush! Always a bonus! Looking forward to showing the finished films and posting on vimeo!

Working From Home

First day of remote working as part of my current job position, don’t get me wrong I’m used to working from home, but it’s always been for personal or freelance projects. First thing to do I think is to set up a proper working area, currently perched in the kitchen with a nice distracting window looking out onto the high street. I have always worked in this spot living at this house, whether it be for degree, editing, paper work or e-mails etc…there’s just something about it!

Heaven’s Secret into Cambridge Film Festival

Holiday Hijack

Back at the start of the year I assisted with location filming for the 6th episode of Holiday Hijack set in the UK. Although mainly wet it was a really enjoyable experience, especially getting to meet such lovely people along the way. There was a lot of driving and errands to run but I’m really looking forward to seeing the final result on Channel 4 this evening. This is also the first programme to feature some GV’s I shot, look out for some China Town, Brick Lane etc etc shots towards the end!

New Month, New Job

After a summer back in Cornwall I was very pleased this week to start a full time job again. I’m now working as a Learning Technology Intern at UCF, a role I’m very excited to be working in. The job is very flexible and the team are very keen to further skill sets and disciplines. I’m really looking forward to facing new challenges and getting my teeth into making lots of interesting bits and bobs! Will keep you updated!

Ade In Britain

Yesterday I was used as a location runner for new ITV series Ade in Britain. It sees comedian/musician Ade Edmondson travelling around and exploring the many delights this country has to offer. Look out for a little caravan near you soon!

World War Z

After being back in the South West a few days it was announced that new Paramount film World War Z were filming in Falmouth, I have since been assisting with the casting for extras, unfortunately that’s about all I can say on that…my lips are sealed!

Dirty Sexy Things

Please to see that E4’s Dirty Sexy Things is getting a lot of positive feedback, many friends of mine work on the programe and I was able to help out on an episode as a runner a while back. Really great show which looks super slick, had a lot of fun helping out on this one. The location we were shooting at was a massive house in Kent which will is feature on a later episode. Really great fun to be part of, and a fantastic team producing! Can’t wait to see more episodes! You can watch them all here: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dirty-sexy-things
