  Short doc completed

Showed my private project about a young talented girl and the pressures on her family to the main contributors (pictured above). Really appreciated their reactions and subsequent emails. They loved it. "Natalie: A West End Girl" will be distributed more widely in the late Summer.

  Hi-def anywhere

Just back from weekend work in Brussels. I'm often asked how we are able to film overseas so cost-effectively but with such good quality. Here's the kit we need which is all owned in house - the Sony EX3 camera just fits into our carry on bag, tripod and boom pole in the black bag, lights and other equipment in the suitcase. And secondly we work best with a simple two-person crew.

  Creating new teachers in Africa

On location in Ghana at numerous collages and schools capturing some of the amazing work being done. As Obama said in Accra last week "The purpose of foreign assistance must be creating the conditions where it is no longer needed."

  Onboard HMS Ark Royal

Inspiring to be filming on the aircraft carrier down at Portsmouth. Great access (we got to touch the engines) and fantastic crew all keen to tell us their stories. A big thanks to all those who arranged.

  Capturing a unique atmosphere

Filmed over the weekend at the Childwickbury Arts Fair organised by Christiane Kubrick. It's eclectic, convivial and relaxed – quite unique. With the EX3 and a radio boom mic, we worked hard to capture the breathe of events; famous artists to face painting, designer hats to bespoke jewellery.
