Behind the Scenes

Ray Bradshaw: Bald Ginger

I’m delighted to see that Ray Bradshaw’s comedy special, ‘Bald Ginger’, that I filmed last year with Director Zak Harney has been broadcast by the BBC, and is available to stream on demand on BBC iPlayer.

Filmed in front of a sold-out audience at the world-renowned Stand Comedy Clubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Ray tells laugh-out-loud stories of the bizarre situations he gets into while trying to find as many people who look like him.

Paris 2024 Paralympics

That’s a wrap from La Défense Arena in Paris, home of the Para Swimming competition for the Paris 2024 Paralympics.

Working with Timeline Television, and Whisper Productions I was based at La Défense for two weeks, where we delivered live daily coverage of the Games from the Channel 4 studio, presented by Clare Balding, Rose-Ayling-Ellis and former Team GB Paralympian,, Ellie Simmonds.

Our first broadcast made history as Rose Ayling-Ellis became the first deaf person to present live sports coverage on TV with the assistance of her team of interpreters.

A 200 strong team from Timeline, Whisper and Channel 4 produced extensive coverage of the Paralympics, with more than 1,300 hours of live sport airing for free across Channel 4, More4, Channel 4 Streaming and Channel 4 Sport’s YouTube.

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.

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

I was commissioned by NatWest to capture the stories of businesses throughout the UK who were finding success during the Coronavirus pandemic. Whether it’s creating products to help fight coronavirus, or pivoting to serve their customers and communities in a different way, there are success stories to be found across the UK.

We travelled the country producing a wide range of video content for NatWest’s social channels and online Business Hub. From The Calabash Tree in the North East, to Passion for Pie in the South West and WOW Saddles in the South East

Mànran Live Stream

I recently worked with Todd Weller Films providing equipment and crewing for the live stream of Mànran’s 10 Year Anniversary concert, broadcast live from the Barrowlands Ballroom in Glasgow to an international audience.

The events and music industries have been so hard hit in recent months, and it was a pleasure to see that it is possible to pull off a great live performance like this.
