Trainline Business

Corporate case study videos have a habit of looking and sounding the same. Working with Trainline Business, the aim was to avoid that by keeping things grounded, visual, and focused on the customer rather than polished talking heads.

We designed the project around a central hero film, with a clear plan from the start to pull out short, punchy cutdowns for social media. That meant thinking about pacing, framing, and moments that would still land in a few seconds, not just in a longer edit. Shooting with that flexibility in mind made it easier to create a suite of content from a single production.

A key part of the shoot took place at London’s King’s Cross station. Filming in a live transport hub forces you to stay agile. You have to adapt quickly, work around crowds, and react to what’s unfolding in front of you. There’s no controlling the environment, which often leads to footage that feels more natural and believable.

By building the story around movement and real usage, the films show how Trainline Business fits into everyday working life. The result is a practical, energetic case study that works both as a main brand piece and as short-form content designed to travel well across social platforms.

Tiree Music Festival 2024

I returned to the Isle of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides this summer for the fourth year running to cover Tiree Music Festival with Well Good Media.

Held every July, Tiree Music Festival is an award-winning folk and contemporary music event set against the island’s white-sand beaches. The festival brings together Scottish and international artists and captures the relaxed, welcoming spirit of island life.

Over four days we produced a large volume of content, from live multi-camera recordings on the main stage to intimate acoustic sessions across the island, alongside behind-the-scenes coverage. All of this was published on the Tiree Music Festival TV platform.

Daily highlight films and a full weekend highlights films were edited on site by our small but incredibly hard-working team for social media.

BBC Great British Menu

In Autumn 2022 I worked with Optompen Television as a Shooting PD on VT’s for Series 19 of the BBC Two professional cooking competition, Great British Menu.

Hosted by award-winning TV Chef and Broadcaster, Andi Oliver, Great British Menu sees top chefs from across the UK put their hearts on a plate and showcase amazing culinary talent.

I produced, directed and shot a number of packages for Optomen, introducing chefs representing Scotland and the inspiration for some of the dishes on their banquet menus. Travelling all over Scotland, this includes Ajay Kumar, Chef Owner of Swadish in Glasgow; Calum Montgomery, Chef Patron of Edinbane Lodge on the Isle of Skye; Kevin Dalgleish, Chef Patron of Amuse in Aberdeen; and David Millar, Head Chef at Jupiter Artland near Edinburgh.

How We Used the Teradek Ranger for the Alexander Dennis Electric Bus Launch

When planning a live product launch, reliable wireless video transmission is often one of the biggest technical challenges. That challenge becomes even greater when the presenter is moving through a large metal structure while speaking to a live audience.

For the launch of a new Envior 400 and 100 electric buses from Alexander Dennis, working with Tapestry, I deployed the Teradek Ranger II wireless video system to provide uninterrupted live video coverage as the presenter guided guests through both the exterior and interior of the vehicle during the reveal event.

The Challenge

The production required a presenter-led walkaround of the new electric bus, allowing the audience to experience the vehicle’s design, features and passenger environment in real time.

Unlike a traditional stage presentation, the camera needed to move freely around the vehicle and then inside the bus while maintaining a stable wireless connection back to the production team.

From an RF perspective, a double-decker bus presents several challenges.

Large metal structures can significantly impact wireless signal propagation, while moving between exterior and interior environments introduces additional obstacles and potential signal reflections. At the same time, the presenter needed complete freedom of movement without being restricted by cable runs.

Because the event was being delivered live, reliability was critical.

Why We Chose the Teradek Ranger

For this production, the Teradek Ranger II was selected due to its proven performance in demanding live event and broadcast environments.

The Ranger provides ultra-low latency wireless video transmission, making it ideal for productions where directors, vision mixers and event teams require a real-time camera feed without noticeable delay. Its robust RF performance also makes it particularly well suited to large venues, complex event spaces and environments where maintaining signal integrity can be challenging.

The ability to move seamlessly between the outside and inside of the bus while maintaining a reliable video link was a key requirement for the success of the launch.

The Production Workflow

A camera operator accompanied the presenter throughout the reveal, capturing detailed exterior shots before moving inside the vehicle to showcase the passenger experience and interior design. The Teradek Ranger transmitted the camera feed wirelessly back to video village, where the feed was distributed for recording, vision mixing and display on the large LED wall, allowing the audience to follow the presentation without interruption.

This approach eliminated the need for long cable runs while giving the presenter and camera operator complete flexibility to move naturally through the launch environment.

The result was a far more engaging experience for attendees, allowing them to see the vehicle from multiple perspectives while maintaining the pace and energy of a live reveal.

Looking Ahead

As live events continue to demand more dynamic and immersive presentation formats, wireless camera systems are becoming increasingly important.

The Alexander Dennis launch was a great example of how wireless video technology can help production teams create engaging experiences while overcoming practical challenges that would traditionally require significant cabling infrastructure.

The Teradek Ranger remains one of the most effective tools available for productions that require broadcast-quality wireless video transmission, particularly in demanding environments where reliability cannot be compromised.

The Mourning of Queen Elizabeth II

I was commissioned by Getty Images to capture a moment in history as the nation mourned the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh, the Queen’s official residence in Scotland, and the Scottish Parliament.

My Chemical Romance at the OVO Hydro

Live, in-person events have been making a welcome comeback in recent months. But it only really hit home from me this week when I was stood in the pit operating cameras at a packed out OVO Hydro for My Chemical Romance.

Great to see live music well and truly back!

NatWest - New Now Campaign
