Tiger Tracks at Edinburgh Zoo

I spent a couple of hours testing the 150fps slow motion on the Sony FS7 camera at Edinburgh Zoo. Jen and Olly got to see  Jambi, the magnificent male tiger up close through the new Tiger Tracks enclosure.

The Sumatran tiger is a subspecies of tiger found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra and it is estimated that fewer than 400 of these majestic tigers are left in the wild. In 1978, experts estimated the population of Sumatran tigers at 1,000. Whilst these tigers are protected by law in Indonesia, increased deforestation and poaching has led to their significant decline and, without help, the Sumatran tiger faces the very real threat of extinction.

Don’t think changing to a tasty eco palm-oil free peanut butter can really make a difference. Only lobbying your politician or support an organization campaigning on these issues can really help at this stage. Fewer than 400!

Support an organisation like the WWF to donate to help stop poachers from killing these beautiful animals.

My Times Plus event – Rugby World Cup

in Event Filming  by September 4, 2015 0 comments

Last night I was working for London Based RiseMedia filming an exclusive My Times Plus event about the upcoming Rugby World Cup. The videos will showcase the entire event as acts as a teaser to entice potential subscribers. Scott Hasting answers questions with a panel of three other at the BT Murrayfield stadium.

I was filming with Mike Lienard and Dan Goodall who are producing a series of the film across the country. Long standing friends and talented filmmakers I wish I was joining the team on the road… Despite knowing nothing about rugby it was a really interesting talk, so I’m armed with enough information to make a better informed better on the Rugby World Cup winner now!

I was filming on the SonyPXW- FS7 care of Procam, sadly not at 180fsp – might have been overkill for this event. Our sound recordist was the talented Pete Smith

Right now I’m packing my bags as I’m off to prepare for a shot for Moneyweek tonight…
