Shooting Strictly Come Dancing Promo
I recently shot a short promo for ‘Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals’. The touring live stage version features the world champion dancers from the smash hit BBC TV series as they take to the stage for the first time in the ultimate dance extravaganza!
The brief was to provide footage for news access and for general promotional purposes. I shot the dress rehearsal with a couple of cameras and was able to deliver an edit for them the next day. This is a formidable challenge, but was achieved thanks to the latest technology and a willingness to work long into the night!
I’ll try and get permission to post the promo soon.
How to export and crop for 2.35:1 in Edius
Following a question on the Edius forums, I put together this simple tutorial on how to crop your standard 16:9 widescreen films to 2.35:1 without having a ‘letterbox’ or black bars top and bottom. I upload to both Vimeo and ExposureRoom and it is possible with both of these sites to upload a film without the borders. ExposureRoom actually has a feature built in that will allow you to choose your crop when you upload – but I still prefer this method as it means I can use the same source file for all uploads.

2020 Vision
What will Islington be like in the future? That was the question behind this film for Islington Council. The brief required me to produce a film that was quick, snappy and upbeat and that gave a broad overview of what people in the borough of Islington thought it would be like in 10 years time.
Energie Gym Promo
This film forms part of an interactive tour of the Energie gym, Forest Hill. The brief was to create an interactive tour of the gym that would highlight all of the facilities available to members. The video will be included in an interactive player that allows visitors to the website to jump from area to area or just watch the film straight through.
