Coventry emergency exercise

Had fun at the weekend, filming volunteers covered in fake blood and wounds for an exercise to test the emergency services.



And here's the lower-res version that made it on to the Coventry Telegraph's website:

Eigg photos

I just got back from the Hebridean island of Eigg, where I was lucky enough to be sent for work. A real treat for me, as I usually have to both pay and use up holiday to visit Scottish islands.

I didn't take a stills camera with me this time, which meant I spent a lot less time looking through a viewfinder. Fortunately Robin, who I was working with, uploaded his pics to Flickr, so here's a slideshow:



Thanks Robin.

Two films for work

Here are two films I shot and edited last year for work. No landscapes, no comedy. Nice crane shot in the Big Drink Debate one, thanks to a handy escalator though...
