The film had to be shot quickly and I put together a very portable rig for the shoot that enabled us to travel as a 2 man team across the borough. I shot on a digital SLR which is great in low light situations and keeps the whole kit very compact.

Technical Info:

The film was shot entirely on the Canon 7D digital SLR using a Marshall monitor to preview the images. The lens I predominantly used on this was a Zeiss 50mm 1.7 which was extremely useful for the lowlight situations. The sound was recorded on a Zoom H4N recorder and synced later in Edius 5.

Working with the team at EC1, I developed the concept of EC1 Day – a passage across the EC1 area which over the course of one day highlights the huge range of the programme’s initiatives.

EC1 NDC is one of 39 NDC partnerships across England, funded by central government to kick start the regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods.

EC1 NDC started its work in April 2001 and has funded and supported hundreds of projects aimed at improving health, education, employment and training, services for young people and the quality of the local environment.
