Gadget title

Friday morning driving up to Dundee for 8.30am to film an insert for the Gadget show, this was a hard 10 hour day.

Gadget crew

For obvious reasons I can’t tell you anything about the day but the crew were great and I had a sound recordist, Colin. Jason the presenter was a joy to work with. A wee point for future reference my Mac book air is USB-2 and a 128G XQD card takes an hour to transfer while my iMac USB 3 only takes 20mins to transfer the same 128G card.

BBC 1

Its been a while since I was part of a multicam crew but this gig was a joy after the hard day before. I think my camera was called Dave ? Its a Sony HDC-1500 full HD studio camera.

We filmed 3 shows in total and everyone was a sell out. My thanks to Donald our Director for making it such a pleasant day.
