D-DAY 75 - BBC Breakfast Live from Southwick House - Hampshire Cameraman
Today I was privileged to film the weather bulletins for BBC Breakfast with Weather legend Carol Kirkwood. What made the day even more special was that it was filmed in the key logistical map room for the final planning of D-Day, Southwick House in Hampshire, and we were there 75 years to the day that the decision was made to call off D-Day due to bad weather. Carol and I were like children in a sweet shop, both being passionate about WW2. We recorded two hits every hour from

May Day Filming In Oxford for BBC & ITV
3am is a very unsociable time to get up but in my line of work you take the work no matter what the time of day. I was booked to film the famous May Day celebrations in Oxford by the BBC and was also supplying my footage to ITV News. My main task was to climb the narrow steps of the Magdalen Tower, not an easy task with a large TV camera on your back, and film the Magdalen College Choir singing Hymnus Eucharisticus at the top. The hymn was composed by a former student of the

URSA Mini Pro 4.6K Digital Film Camera Joins the Family.
I have added the URSA Mini Pro 4.6k to my camera list. I am currently shooting on it up to 2K using the same B4 broadcast lenses but the camera will shoot up to 4.6K with EF DSLR lenses. Whilst my standard PMW-500 camera gives a lovely image the sensor is only 2/3" but the URSA boasts a super 35mm sensor. It's ideal for glossy or filmic #corporate work. The #URSA also offers lovely slow motion up to 120fps. This video was shot using the URSA and contains lots of slowmo. The s
