Working with the new PM

Don was recently employed by Loop TV to film and edit content for The Times CEO Summit.

Overseeing the production, Don worked with a camera operator to capture the summit.  He then edited the content together for the client and delivered a rough cut of the footage immediately after the event.

The guests Don captured included Sir Terry Leahy; Chief Executive Tesco plc, Sir John Rose; Chief Executive Rolls-Royce plc, Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne and the Rt Hon David Cameron, Prime Minister.

The end client was extremely happy with the content we delivered and Don's direct client; Oran at Loop TV had this to say - "Thanks again for all your help, ... (the client) thought you were great."

More motorbike filming

 

Don has continued to provide motorbike camera work for several top events - the Windsor and Blenheim triathlons as well as working for Century TV as lead moto on road cycling's National Road Race.

The National Road Race was broadcast live on Eurosport for the last 3 hours of the race.

Winner Geraint Thomas sprinting for the line.

Don has also been out to Rotterdam for a shoot with the SKY team to create some promo material before the Tour de France got underway. Don was working for Awfully Nice Video.

Endura Clothing Sponsorship

Don is currently shooting for Century Television on the Halfords Tour Series for ITV4. As he is the only moto cameraman on the series and is often in the way of the other cameras, Endura recognised a marketing opportunity and have offered to provide Don with Endura clothing for the series.

 

Thanks Endura!!

Hi Don,

Straight 8 Short Film

This Easter weekend Don has been shoting a film for a competition called Straight 8. The film was written and directed by a good friend of Sweet Pictures - Kieran Humphries. Don shot and produced the film which under the competition rules had to be shot on one roll of Super8 film.

The shoot was a great success and hopefully we have done enough to pick up a prize.
