I recently had the pleasure of shooting a short piece to camera for EC1 New Deal for Communities with the BBC presenter Kate Silverton. I have worked with EC1 NDC before – the film I shot for them ‘EC1 Day’ is viewable here.

EC1 have their Pride Awards coming up which is presented by Kate Silverton. I had a short amount of time to shoot this piece with her and this was made more urgent by the fact the sun was rapidly going down.

I shot this with the Canon 7D – one of the new breed of digital SLRs capable of shooting stunning HD video. Clients love the speed and portability I get with this setup, but most importantly, they love the look. It requires a little more work in post-production – especially as the sound has to be recorded separately, but the results are well worth it.
