Filming Irvine Welsh for Scotland Tonight was a good challenge. We had 30 minutes to set up and light a 3 camera interview. Happy with the results and his conversation with Rona Dougall was fascinating.
"I would liked to have lived life as a woman" We speak to author @IrvineWelsh as a documentary is made about his life and art. 10.40pm STV

Great to hear Louise Lancaster on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire yesterday discussing her part in the Just Stop Oil protests and the Radio 4 documentary we made with her, Crossing The Line. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8rp…

This is what a half hour radio documentary looks like! It works better to listen than look though. Crossing The Line, about the personal cost of climate activism, is out now on BBC Sounds: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002f6p… #radio #documentary #protest #juststopoil #insulatebritain #xr

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE: Racing Stock at CUFF.Docs 24th - 28th November in Calgary.
I mean the golf shot itself is impressive, of course, but that is some amazing camera work - the operator even has the presence of mind to go straight back for the reaction when most people would still be busy scraping their jaws off the floor. #camera #skills #Golf
