Camping – 21st Century Utopia?
Posted by Mark in CreationVideo | video production news
It’s about 23:00, the sky is full of stars and satellites, and I’m sitting outside my family tent in a campsite in the Loire valley, France.
I just saw a hedgehog scuttle by, my 5 year old daughter loved the Camping Kids talent show tonight and my wife came back from the same event brimming with pride at one of the UK ‘entries’, a Sri Lankan boy of 8 rapping without music, brilliantly.
I can hear an English family making friends with a Dutch couple, their kids all asleep now; I heard two families from Yorkshire discover they have the same local haunts and the French woman with Touretts who is one of a group has stubbed her last cig and gone to bed.
This site, very family-focussed, is expensive at ďż˝35 per night – so most families can do this. Everyone is elbow to elbow regardless of class when they do the washing up, and by virtue of the physical proximity and willingness to rough it to varying degrees, people are keen to be friendly.
So I’m wondering if camping – that I grew up with as a child, reconnected with in a cidery sort of way as a ‘beatnik-punk-hippy’ in the late 70s, and have just returned to as a Dad – is our only remaining modern Utopia?
Definition of Utopia: an ideal community or society possessing a seemingly perfect socio-politico-legal system. (OK, the legal bit’s not relevant here)The word was invented by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean.

Saw this today in Najac, a medieval village in France – hopefully this won’t lead to a legal battle with Apple!

NHS Direct webcast live today

Our webcast for NHS Direct will be live today at 1030. Click the image above to visit NHS Direct to view it.
Inevitably, if two blokes who do not normally wear scrubs – the outfit required in operating theatres – are required to do so by the fact that they’re filming a training video, the regular nursing and surgical staff will have quite a good laugh at them and insist on taking a picture – here’s ours, yesterday at Barts. I think David looks slightly more daft than me.

Filming at IH London
Today we’re back at International House London, the world’s leading language school, filming lessons for an online training resource.
It’s a two camera shoot; the audio comes from a Sennheiser radio mic and a pair of Sennheiser ME66 gun mics. We’re using our two JVC GY-HM100s and some great new Lilliput HDMIÂ monitors – these can also be used with an HD-DSLR if it has HDMI input.
See our Education page for details of the original Teacher Training DVD series

“The Peak and the Pit”
Posted by Mark in CreationVideo | video production news
“The Peak and the Pit” is David Lee’s new short film, currently in post-production.
Synopsis:
A writer throws himself from his hotel window far from home leaving only a telegram with a cryptic message scribbled on the back. Decades later, three people are each inspired by his death in very different ways. Prepared to change their lives because of it, which of them has grasped the true meaning of his final message?
More coming on David’s film…
