Living for the weekend

Here is a film from Kendal (possibly 1998 or 1999) Living for the Weekend. I held a camera for the first time for 5-10 minutes under the instruction of Director, filmmaker, cameraman, editor, Nick Tarmey in the Alps. Nick was a master in film making and this film was written about more after Kendal that year than any other. If there had been a peoples choice award at the time it would have won. I think it inspired the award to be created. Nick would have been our modern day Leo Dickinson if he had continued on his filmmaking.  He made three films in total during GUMC years.

The film features some still hugely active walkers, climbers and respected outdoor professionals. They had the real survival of the fittest apprenticeship. Not a highly recommended apprenticeship but if you don’t know anything else it is what you do to learn.

Check out the just giving page at the end and enjoy.

Halley VI Research Station opened today

Halley VI opens today.  This is the Station I spent the last 4 years filming the building of in Antarctica.  This Station will help keep Britain at the forefront of Antarctic science and help educate the world on lower and upper atmospherics.  The Station and its science facilities can study the atmosphere from the ground right out to the sun and quite a bit around the planet.

In the modern world we live in our communications revolve largely around satellites and a small part of Halley’s science helps predict cosmic weather like the southern lights which can knock satellites out.  So if you ever wondered how science in Antarctica can relate back to your home (which it does in many many ways) then these studies can help your mobile phone work better, your internet work and might mean you can watch that game of Rugby on Satellite TV on Saturday night.

Anyway this is a little film I made for the company that built it for British Antarctic Survey with the help of us talented people at BAS.
