February 2023 - Drone Operator on a feature film near Glasgow

So I headed to Glasgow to work with one of my favourite filmmakers Andrew O’Donnell and the great Beluga Lagoon team. Andrew has been working on the script for a feature film for the last few years and building a hut for one of the locations. Now starts the ambitious bit of filming it and bringing it together. Andrew is Directing and DOP on it with the lovable Mark being the main actor in the film. Blaine and Willy also have some roles.

So I headed there to do the aerial shots for the film for the week and also help with the sound and lighting when needed. I even dressed up as an owl a few times too lol.

I still don’t know exactly what the film is about as Andrew keeps it close to his chest. As always with andrew he has also produced an album (Beluga Lagoon music) first before starting the film which will be the sound track to the movie. A very talented man!

We had a great laugh filming this film and enjoyed every bit of it. Also got Andrew camera operating on the DJI Inspire 2 on occasion which he took to effortlessly:)

APRIL 2021 - Drone pilot and cameraman in Glasgow for ITV 'This Morning'

Had a fun few days filming with one of my best clients ITV ‘This Morning’. Here we were filming part of a series that tours round Britain looking into top spots for Indian food with Nisha Katona. This episode we were in Glasgow for the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and an amazing family run Pakora takeaway caravan. Pheobe directing on the right in photo:)

Totally unrelated but with cover hotels are pretty empty giving them a slight spooky feel. So the corridor in the bottom picture here has a definite ‘The Shining’ vibe about it eeeek!?!

Amazing tasting Pakora here:)

Definitely a bit of ‘The Shining’ vibe here!?!
