BTS with Punkfish Diving

A few stills and a clip from the Punkfish day-in-the-life shoot – the interview footage is still being edited, but life at the dive centre is so colourful it deserves a shout.

Grading the Malpique waves

A short clip from Malpique, mostly an excuse to play with colour and ambient audio in Premiere rather than a proper edit.

A trip to London with Potter House Interiors

I took the Z50ii video rig to London on a trip with Potter House Interiors to the Chelsea Design Centre – it wasn’t really a job, but a useful first test of the setup. Lots of useful lessons…

  • Last week, I sat down with Angie & Vero from @punkfishdiving for a bilingual chat about their quirky dive centre and the diving on La Palma. 

40 minutes of laughter and inanity followed, I'm really looking forward to editing the footage. Here's a very quick preview, mainly to test the colour matching and editing workflow between Nikon N-Log and Sony S.Log3. More behind the scenes in The Log on my website – link in bio.

  • A skull and crossbones on the east wall of Llangelynnin Old Church, painted beneath the Ten Commandments in Welsh, near the altar. Date unknown.

The motif was common in medieval churches – a reminder of human mortality and the parts of the body required for resurrection.

Llangelynnin has been a place of worship for over nine centuries. It sits at 280m on the slopes of Tal y Fan above the Conwy valley, with no electricity, no heating, and no running water – @caruconwy hold a service on the third Sunday of every month during the summer. Full journal post – link in bio.

  • First experimental grade of N-Log footage from the Z50ii, shot yesterday morning at sunrise, edited using only ambient audio. Some b-roll for a brand film currently in progress.

  • A day out at @designcentrech with @hollypotterdesign, taking the Z50ii on its first outing. The design showrooms and some of the pieces there are spectacular.

  • The centre dome at @designcentrech lets so much light flood into the atrium. Definitely worth looking up, the chandelier and decorations move in the wind.
