After the great success the Time Lapse Graffiti NSS Video I made for Bournemouth University (now on over 90,000 views!... A great achievement for a student survey) I was asked back by Corporate Communications Officer Toby Horner to make a video for the Student's Union to further promote the National Student Survey. The SU have jumped on board with all the recent Harlem Shake videos and I had the experience of filming and editing one of the strangest things that has come up in my career so far! The reaction has been fantastic as there is such a massive contrast of love/hate views on the Harlem Shake so it certainly helps to promote the NSS.

For the past couple of days I have been working at Goldsmith's University for Talent TV South with Fran Mattinson who I met on the set of Monster Truck Mayhem. We have been filming the workshops and interviews to create summary videos and to promote creative skillset. We broke into three crews to film the workshops and I assisted Camera Operator Don from Sweet Pictures with Lucy Purnell as director. The workshops were very interesting from my point of view as Bournemouth University are involved in creative skillset and it is something I was aware of while at University and was seeing it from a different perspective. We also got to see an interesting talk by David Abraham CEO of Channel Four. Not only was the content interesting we had a great crew Valentines day meal!...
Yesterday we had a small burst of snow so I did what every filmmaker would do and took my camera out. I got as far as my porch when I saw all our little garden birds enjoying a bit of lunch and decided to film them. I was only out for an hour but got a great range of birds coming in from our usual robin to the gorgeous gold finch. Having missed out on the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this year I thought this might make up for it. See what you think of our garden birds in Dorset enjoying the snow. Today I was on shot with Don from Sweet Pictures, Simon Green from Greenrock and Ben Taggart filming interviews at RBS to regain customer trust on the dramatic day of their Libor fine. It was very interesting to be at the heart of what was happening. I assisted the production and filmed second camera with the F800 with Don on the 5D and slider and the view made for some lovely shots from the RBS building.
After a few very cold days out this Winter I've put together a small selection of angles I've been tiring out with my GoPro attached to my bike. I love riding and had a great time seeing what each angle came out like. I still have a few more ideas I can't wait to try out and next time I look forward to finding a an amazing location (rather than my local woods!) for some high speed mountain biking! Today Go Media teamed up with New Zealand company Mediawave Productions to film an interview with Tommy Sopwith about America's Cup in his English country house. We filmed on two P2 cameras with one on a track and it was lit very dramatically which was an interesting set up to work with. It was very interesting to hear his views and about his father Thomas Sopwith and his experiences in the war. Once again it was great to team up with Go Media.
