It has been a great experience, working with the contributors and travelling around the Shropshire/Welsh boarders on the hunt for UFO's.
I have filmed in a variety of locations including a night-shoot in the welsh valleys and again picked up great experience in filming for the television industry. It has been difficult at times because ninety percent of the filming has been on location and the weather has, for once, been incredibly sunny. This made it difficult to film because of harsh shadows, ever changing light conditions and changes in colour temperature throughout the shoots and to make things worse we didn't have a light because the store don't have any portable camera lights, to overcome some of the problems I took a reflector which was an essential and I could not have filmed without it.
I used a mixture of Canon 1D and Panasonic P2 cameras to film this piece. to help the narrative along I filmed a couple of time-lapse's to use in the edit to give the sense of moving through time and to take us from day through to night as well. Because of mixing two camera types I will have to work with the editor and colour grade the footage to help the two combine well and for it not to be too noticeable.
This documentary has been a fun project and I have enjoyed working on it, the main contributor was fantastic to work with and I'm sure we will work again with him in the future.
Day of rest today after a 20 hour working day yesterday and then its straight back into it with the BMX Doc - Hoodies to Heroes early next week.......
