You’ll cycle by the banks of Loch Ness, experience the views of Arran from Kintyre, see the standing stones of Kilmartin Glen, follow the Crinan Canal and ride the locks of Neptune’s Staircase.

A special thanks to all the volunteers, supporters, partners and members of the public involved in filming this video and being part of this project.

Great Northern Warehouse promotional film

Here’s a short promotional video we produced on behalf of Deansgate Media Group, to help highlight the attractions at the Great Northern Warehouse this Christmas in Manchester.

We finished the day off with a few frames at All Star Lanes (with some Long Island Ice Teas thrown in for good measure) and a wee skate on the Manchester Ice Rink.

As it was a run-and-gun shoot, we mostly opted for using natural light, with a little kick from some battery powered LED panels. I decided to shoot with Sony A7s, as it’s small and lightweight and is wonderful in low light. We used the Sony FS700 for the slow motion shots.

Park Lives

An initiative developed by Coca Cola, ParkLives is a free and easy way for people of all ages to get the best out of their local park. It includes a whole host of activities from tai chi to donkey grooming!
