Getting close
 I enjoy getting to know ordinary people best and also getting close to them. Here's a delightful lady I met today at a Glasgow Care Home. So dignified and a great artist too. ¶ 14:41

With the Sugar Queen
 At the start of a very hectic period of production. 6 full days of location filming from Windsor to Glasgow over a 10 day period. Today we were delighted to be filming with Lina Kennedy the Los Angeles based Sugar Queen of hair removal and a bunch of young models. Companies we are filming with next week include; Unilever, Scottish Care and IBM. ¶ 21:35

Building up our broadcast development arm
To work with me on proposals for broadcast channels, I've taken on a freelance development consultant. Also we've established monthly brainstorm forums to flesh out themes and narratives. It's all part of new processes to come up with imaginative and thought-provoking documentaries. Yes, I've had that book by the side of the bed to jot down daily ideas, but for 2010 we are creating resources that put Jump Off The Screen on par with top London production houses.

Filming with UK's number 1 female paralympic skier
 We're putting together a mini-profile of Jane Sowerby, who is engaging, inspiring and crazy on the slopes. In the short term, she'll have a profile-raising film, and early in the New Year we may have a film to shoot in America and Canada. ¶ 18:06

At the National Museum of Cinema Equipment in Milton Keynes
It's great being based in Milton Keynes. It's home to innovative UK organisations and it's the UK's fastest growing business city. It's also home to an increasing number of filmmakers. I was pleased tonight to join the Milton Keynes Film Network and see a collection of showreels and short films. An added attraction was the wonderful setting - the Enigma Cinema at historic Bletchley Park. In every corner there are wonderful cinema projectors, many of which are kept working by an enthusiastic group of volunteers.

At Doc/Fest in Sheffield
 The picture doesn't show me but Marc Issacs, one of my documentary heros, trying out our EX3 as we did some interviewing for the Doc/Fest website. With the Africa filming leading to new work with OU research teams, and three new business films to make before the end of November, I've been too busy to role out ideas for broadcast documentaries. However, you can't go to Doc/Fest and not aim to redress the balance, and I'm glad to say there's been some real interest in an idea we have developed. ¶ 15:57

At Warwick with the robot team
 Continued filming of the 'Search for Robot Culture' documentary - the trailer is on our broadcast page. Great to meet up again with all the academics and students. Filmed some fascinating discussions and presentations. Now looking forward to the start of the 'world-first' robot interactions. Can't wait. ¶ 20:55
