Liquid Soap on the BBC news use my footage!

Liquid soap was featured on BBC points west 6:30pm edition on monday 22nd of june.
when the reporter and producer turned up we let them have a free range of the set for a bit. eventually they asked to be let up onto the rigging, i had to refuse incae they hurt themselves because of wires and ropes attached, however they asked if mark the student lighting supervisor would be able to film for them, he said yes but was immediately called down to the set and so gave me the camera, i walked around the outside of the rigging trying to get shots down into the set as the cast and filming crew were rehearsing. i think i succeeded in getting them what they wanted as they used a lot of the shots i got in their final edit that went on air.
you can watch it here !

overtime

well, ive been working hard on trying to get everything covered for the group project. i have a call sheet done for the 9th, still waiting for confirmation of the tenth from the uni (karen or mike) also given the script a go to see about how it would work in the split page documentary format.
i know my group should be doing some of this too but i thought just incase anything goes wrong, at least we have all angles covered.

in my individual project im a bit stumped as my subject has acquired a new girlfriend and well, hes probably shagging and refusing to answer his phone or go on facebook etc. ill get him soon though. was planning on filming during the easter break anyway after the 12th. i can get the footage of him skating from the other cameraman and get something put together and wait for the interview to place as a VO or something, been giving it thought

on a lighter note, all moved in and even have an aerial so i can finally watch TV, woo, no freeview but do have sky coming round next friday between 9am and 1pm (really precise there aint they?) so have some good stuff to watch on tele soon, and it will have a sky+ box. just a little excited about having the full kit now.
