NHS PPE Delivery

Like many others, I lost 100% of my bookings with the introduction of lockdown measures during the Coronavirus Pandemic. I was delighted to have my first job in a number of weeks yesterday, where I found myself on the tarmac at Prestwick Airport with NHS National Services Scotland.

Ten million items of PPE, as well as testing kits and ICU equipment landed in Scotland at 4am and will distributed to NHS and care workers throughout Scotland.

The footage has been picked up by broadcasters and news organisations around the country - including the BBC, STV, Channel 4, Sky and LADbible!

I’ve been working with Edinburgh based car and van dealership, Peoples Ford, producing video content for their Transit Tales campaign.

Baku 2017: Journey from the Caspian

Prior to an Olympics Games, a torch is lit and carried around the host country to bring the spirit and excitement of the games to the whole country. For the Baku 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games, the journey focused on water instead of fire. Water is hugely important in the Islamic faith, symbolising purity, healing and cleansing.

Following the Launch Ceremony, waters from the shores of the Caspian Sea were sent throughout Azerbaijan. In return, crystal waters collected by children from lakes and rivers, waterfalls and springs across the land were united at the Opening Ceremony of the Games in Baku.

The Journey from the Caspian visited 16 locations over 37 days, travelling over 3000km before returning to Baku.

Working with local production companies in Baku, I produced and edited this video capturing the Journey from the Caspian. The video was projected on a large 85x35m projection screen during the Opening Ceremony, as well as being broadcast live to over 30 nations worldwide.

Baku 2017: Highlights from the Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony of the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games took place in Baku, Azerbaijan on the 12th May 2017.

The spectacular Opening Ceremony, ‘Knowledge’, tells a universal story of peace and hope, and celebrates the enormous contribution Islamic civilisation has made to everything around us.

After relocating to Baku in January 2017 it was a privilege to be part of the Ceremonies team, producing and managing video content for the Launch Ceremony, Regional Events Programme, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Video content was displayed on an 85x45m projection screen, lit by over 130 projectors, as well as being broadcast live to over 30 nations worldwide.
