Today is the last day I have put up with this farcical facial hair. I think Elizabeth will appreciate it too, Daddy kisses are making her itch.
It’s a bit browny, ginger and grey in places. Oh crikey.
Anyway goodbye whiskers! for another year anyway…
Following on from the Harrogate Apartments filming, I was asked to film the newly built Lawrance Apartments in York.
This was an opportunity to use my camera slider a lot more than in Harrogate, as well as hiding small battery powered LED lights around the locations.
The filming took a day and a half and the edit was another day.
This was the first job completed using Final Cut Pro X on my new Hackintosh computer. A hand built computer running a modified version of the Apple operating system.
Simon gave me some great feedback, and here’s the final edit:
While in Brussels on other business, myself, Howard Foster and Nik Wood went to the European Parliament buildings.
We were there using the EUParl studio facilities to make pilot shows for two new programme ideas Howard has been working on.
Nik is a broadcaster maybe best known for hosting the BBCs Working Lunch as well as local and national News TV.
I’d already made VT inserts for two programmes, covering important topics surround European Law and Business. The shows were recorded and brought home for finessing and additional work. I’ve made 3D graphics and name straps for the pilots, and while I’m not a graphic designer by any stretch of the imagination they will do for now.
We’re looking for businesses or organisations to sponsor the production for further programmes in the future.
As Malcolm Harbour MEP said during one of the shows, they are a great idea and much needed.
So please contact Howard at Red Lobster if you can offer any help.
The Golden Bridge Awards are given to businesses exporting to and from Belgium to the UK. The Chamber of Commerce asked us over to Brussels to film the business presentations at the British Embassy and we had a great day.
Once back in the UK we edited an energetic, fast paced and very loud show video which was played at the awards ceremony in central London on the 15th. The audience of business associates and dignitaries gave the video a huge round of applause, which was nice.
