It’s the first of December – the itchy moustache has come off and I decided to reposition the edit suite. Anyway I thought it was worth running benchmarks to compare the new edit suite against Apple’s latest computers. The new iMacs are getting early benchmark figures: Geekbench scores of 12427 Lux Mark scores of 265 […]
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 […]

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 […]

I’ve spent ten days shooting and editing 11 videos for Kirklees Council. The videos feature children in foster care across the region. The adoption agencies then use the videos to introduce the children to prospective adopters – forever families for the children. It sound like an extravagance perhaps, but it helps get the children out […]
VisMedia, London asked me to shoot this fascinating corporate for them. We filmed in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds shooting interviews and GVs on my FS100 mostly using my new 28-70 f2.8 fast zoom. As we were very tight for time I lit the job using two of my 512 LED battery powered heads on small […]
Today I was in Harrogate with Appeal PR shooting a promotional film for The Lawrance – Serviced Apartments.

I shot the film on the FS100 using a mixture of tripod and slider, with macro […]
