Working in From ATVLAND In Colour is a joy, but the toughest part is that the members are flung all over the UK. Luckily, we don't need all of our team for each filming assignment, and the power of the internet means we can get on with research work and script-writing at home.
Keith Jacobsen - there's a name I mentioned very early on in this blog. Keith is an ex-BBC/ITV cameraman who continues to work in television. He also happens to own Television South Limited. This is the guy who came up with the concept of producing a documentary DVD on the history of ATV/Central's Broad Street studios back in 2006.
Well, Keith's back on board. His recent services have been valuble to us in warding off those aforementioned legal threats. Plus his own knowledge on putting a production together is at an expert level. It's great to have him back.
Here we are at the end of the year, and with Christmas nearly over and done with, we're looking forward to resuming project work in the New Year. While we still have some cold winter months ahead, I can sit at home during the nights, hunched over the iMac, composing music for the DVD, and script-writing.
And now, to blow my own trumpet. I've finished putting together Tiswas Night 2008 for viewing online. It's slightly justified, as I'll be doing a lot of editing and design work on the From ATVLand In Colour DVD. Whilst the camerawork is a bit shaky on this (it is a live event with immense spontaneity after all), it's the production as a whole I'm quite proud of. Thanks must go to Matthew Gulliver for enabling me to put on an almost authentic Central-Television-style presentation!
