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.
Drone Operator & Camera Operator | Scotland
BAFTA-winning drone operator, aerial cinematographer and camera operator based in Scotland, specialising in film, television and commercial productions. Operating DJI Inspire 3 X9 and specialist drones, with extensive experience filming across Scotland, the UK and internationally.
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.
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:)
