JUNE 2021 - A bit of Mountain Safety on Starwars

A good mate Liam at www.mountainandwatersafetyspecialists.co.uk offered me 6 weeks on Starwars! But it would affect my filming work too much, so I declined. But then he offered 3 days and I was keen to be part of a Starwars set so off I went to join in for a few days:)

I’ve done a lot of work doing mountain and water safety on the large film sets over the years for Liam, on films such as Outlaw King, 37 Ronin, Mary Queen of Scots, Pokemon, King Arthur, James Bond, The Crown and more. All good fun working with lots of mates from the climbing world:)

I have a few images from the set but unfortunately I’m not allowed to show them until well after the Starwars show goes out. But I can share me going for my pre filming cover test in the Starwars Caravan park lol:)

West coast of Scotland, waiting for cover results before I can get on set the following day.

MARCH 2018: Pokemon Mountain and Water Safety

Hollywood comes to Scotland for the new Pokemon film and we did the safety in many locations for them.  I stepped back into my MIC (Mountain Instructor) role to join the www.mountainandwatersafety.co.uk team of which there were quite a few on this big budget feature.

OCTOBER 2017: OUTLAW KING NETFLIX SAFETY

Here I joint the team run by Liam and Graeme who own www.mountainandwatersafety.co.uk to cover the safety mainly on the River Etive but also in other places.  There were a good bunch of us and it involved quite a lot of technical water scenarios with ever changing water levels.

Few pics below showing the changing river, no revealing pics of the actual film set until after the film comes out:)  The big crane in the water was when the river came up about 3-4 meters over night!  We got the crane out safely and we had attached it to the rock using climbing protection which held well:)
