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!!

Straight 8 Festival Selection

Today the official selection for the Straight8 film festival was announced and our film made the cut! The film festival will be held in central London in late July and we will keep you posted on the dates and the venue.

The film we made is called 'The Tell' and was written and directed by Keiran Humphries (pictured in this production shot as the dealer) and produced and shot by Don Rutherford. Thanks to everyone involved for helping us make such a great wee film.

WRC and ET

Don has been shooting in Turkey for the World Rally Championship for a motor sport show called The Grid. Despite being stuck in Istanbul for an extra 5 days due to the volcanic ash cloud,  the shoot was a success.

This weekend Don was working for Fantail Films, shooting on the red carpet for Amercan TV show Entertainment Tonight.
