Arctic Greenland filming
We are just coming to the end of the busiest period ever for Creative Solutions. That and a trip to Arctic Greenland for climbing and filming has meant we have been a bit slow on the blog. Must do better! Welcome to the hugely talented David, he has joined us as a...

Creative Solutions participatory film showing in Leeds
Went to the first showing of a Creative Solutions participatory film in Leeds yesterday. Went down very well despite its powerful subject matter (insane asylums)! I do like the free food and drink at these events I must admit.
Filming a patient receiving ECT
Today I was stood over a patient filming them receiving ECT. Thankfully for a drama and not for real!
Did a recce in an A & E department today
Did a recce in an A & E department today. Can't wait to actually start shooting in a working ER... it will no doubt test everything I know about project management!
Trying to film quietly in a library
Have been trying to film quietly in a library today with a crew of 6... how do I get myself into these situations!?
The Royal College of Surgeons
The Royal College of Surgeons has to be one of the best venues for a video production meeting I've ever been in. You have to be into pickled creatures and deformed bodies though, they're everywhere!!!
My video production degree
I was teaching film to some students in Wolverhampton yesterday, great fun. It's where I did my video production degree.
Short drama piece in the Forest of Dean
Yesterday I was filming a short drama piece in the Forest of Dean. There is so much more snow there than anywhere else I've been in the country over the last couple of weeks. Shame it's all starting to melt now though. I do like a winter look to the country.
Wedding video editing
If i can dig my office out of the snow... I will be doing some wedding video editing today. Also putting in a bid for MediaBox film funding, it's a big one so fingers crossed.
Teaching film
Teaching film to an adult class today. We have just 7 sessions to make two short films, I think the phrase is 'crash course'!
