It’s been a cracking weekend at IMG Media last weekend, with plenty of new programmes and clients to accommodate. I’m happy to say: we were up for the challenge.
Here’s what we’ve been working on:
7 Premier League football matches for international distribution
several ESPN turnaround feeds (Scottish, Dutch, Belgian and German football)
1 ESPN live studio production
1 BBC Football League Show studio production
several SNTV feeds
countless ISDN lines
The footage below covers a period of about 12hrs – see if you can spot me, or in fact the GMT clock on the desk.
I’ve discovered this highly embarrassing gem from my dubious German past the other day:
In this sketch from 1994, my colleague Andre Grossman and I put on this production of a highly working class couple. I’m playing the mad mother, he’s my drunk husband.
We used to be fans of Schmidteinander, a cult comedy show on German Television back in the days, and at one point they were looking for submissions. The theme was “Blonde Mothers”, so Andre and I borrowed someone’s baby, filmed it with his Betacam (non-SP) camera in his kitchen and edited it at Studio Hamburg.
Needless to say, they never replied… probably because our production values weren’t low enough.
[flashvideo file="/video/water-glass.flv" /] For this video, I’ve filled up 15 glasses of water in my kitchen (the same glass actually). Although not really noticable, all footage is shot in slow motion using my Sony HDR-HC9E. I’m still excited about that feature. It got a bit tricky to put all the shots together, and I had [...]
Julia and I were out shopping yesterday, and discovered this tiny new Casio Exilim camera that does slow motion video recordings. Looking at this, I remember that my Sony HDR-HC9 has this function, and that I’ve never played with it before. We got pretty excited, it’s very inspiring, and this is what came out this [...]
With the series finale of Missing Live on Good Friday, it’s both sad and a relief that 4 weeks of mayhem have come to an end. I’m relieved because a nasty cold caught me with my pants down last week and I can do with some recovery time; at the same time I’m sad because [...]
I’m very happy to see one of my images being published in the British trade magazine Broadcast Now. Written by Will Strauss, the article talks about a new traffic management system for digital media assets. When Loft London started their website last year, I was called in to take pictures of their interior, the exterior [...]
Although a few days old already, I’d like to share my latest website project with you: give a warm welcome to www.Broadcast-News.co.uk. As the titlle suggests, it’s a website featuring the latest news from Broadcast, Entertainment and TV – in short, the industry I’ve built an almost 20 year old carrer on. It’s a superb [...]
