JANUARY 2021 - Filming Carol Smillie for ITV
A fun day meeting and filming Carol Smillie and working with Adam from ITV. We were filming for their competitions and were very lucky to get a lovely day for it.
DECEMBER 2020 - Filming with the Great Beluga Lagoon lot for a new episode of Roaming in the wild.
Spent four days with these guys filming and camping in the snow. Different times filming but still great fun. Had to have separate vehicles and tents although tents is easy and gives better sleep. Most of my filming was remote from the guys as they bobbed or swished past on a raft on the Kelvin River:) They filmed themselves in the raft:) A few more episodes to do yet for their BBC series:)
A winter Camp:)
SEPTEMBER 2020 - With the Beluga Lagoon team for a BBC Documentary down at the Borders.
As always great fun working with Andrew and Mark from Beluga Lagoon films as we make another episode of their ‘Roaming in the Wild’ for BBC. This time to the borders and with hiking and stand up boards involved. I was filming them on there journey with camera and drone. Andrew would be getting wildlife shots with his big lenses as we went. Do enjoy this work a lot when you get to take part in the trip (behind the camera) with the team. Carrying camping stuff, stove, tent, sleeping bag, and Camera, tripod, drone and all the batteries makes for a heavy load but good bit of exercise:)
AUGUST 2020 - ITV 'This Morning' with Nigel Havers
Had a few days with Nigel Havers from ‘Chariots of fire’ as we filmed in Edinburgh and St Andrews for a few days. We even gave a wee visit to the Chariots of Fire beach. It was good banter with Nigel and Phoebe (The director/producer). Lots of good stories from Nigel.
I was doing the main camera, sound and drone. Had to fly in a military zone which is always different as need to unlock your drone, get a police incident number and get permission from the RAF and let their air traffic control know when you are flying and when you’re finished:)
Phoebe, Nigel and myself on West Beach St Andrews.
JULY 2020 - ITV 'This Morning' Caledonian Canal
Great week working on the Caledonian Canal. My first ITV job since lockdown so great to be back out there. What a fun crew too, all new to me.
Josie Gibson was the presenter with a great West Country accent, she was great fun. Sam Palmano as the producer/writer who was also great and laughed and looked like Mike Myers:)
Then we had Brian driving the boat and Rachel from Le Boat who were also awesome and great fun. So all and all a great trip. I shot with the GH5 and the Magic drone. Always fun flying from the boat:)
