DECEMBER 2020 - Industrial filming at Nigg, near Invergordon for Briggs Marine. Some lovely aerial filming.

A fun week seeing how a massive 10km fibre optic cable is taken off a ship and coiled onto a carousel ready to be coiled onto another ship. I was filming drone for aerial shots and ground camera for some more close up shots. Unusually here just filming and handing over the footage to be edited by the in-house media department at the company. Always interesting to see the lives of other people in different industries and the technology going into these things.

An inversion one morning:)

OCTOBER 2020 - Filming tidal turbines and ships at Nigg, near Invergordon

Spent several day filming today turbines and the loading of a ship in Nigg Bay, near Invergordon, north of Inverness. Great to see these turbines being built in Scotland. Time and tide wait for no man, as they say so a guaranteed power source once in position. With Scotland having some amazing tides, probably the fastest and most extensive in Europe then its a good place to have them. this one is heading to Japan and is made by Atlantis (aptly named) and is being shipped using DShip:)

I was working for www.haraldhohenthal.com to get the footage for Harald to put the film together. Handy being close to these docks for this.

Pretty interesting to see how these 200+ tonne items get loaded on and how they balance the ship by pumping water into one side, as they lift on the other side to stop it tipping over.

The ship we were loading with some unrelated legs for wind turbines behind.
