I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with Rebecca Soni last September, filming her for VisitBritain, so it was great to see her just beat her own world record as she won gold in the women’s 200m breaststroke.

The 25-year-old clocked two minutes and 19.59 seconds to become the first swimmer to successfully defend an Olympic title at London 2012 and the first woman to break 2:20.00. Well done Rebecca!

Coming from a family of keen cyclists, I was hugely impressed by the spirit and achievements of Paralympic cycle champion Allison Jones when I filmed her for VisitBritain.

In this episode, Allison gets a private peek at Number 10 Downing Street and takes her first steps on the London 2012 velodrome – where she hopes to represent Team USA at this summer’s Paralympic Games.

The web video series we recently filmed for VisitBritain and the US Olympic Committee is now edited and will be posted online over the next few months:

“Join seven Team USA Olympic and Paralympic champions as they lead you on a journey through Britain. Experience Stonehenge, Buckingham Palace, the Highlands, and many other iconic British sites and share in the athletes’ stories of visiting the host country prior to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Beginning Oct. 10, the Team USA: Britain Bound web series will be available HERE and HERE. The series will run every Monday through November 14th, and then take a brief holiday before returning January 9th.

The athletes had a great time and you will too, as you’re invited to follow the series as Team USA gears up for the 2012 Games.”

A gorgeous Saturday afternoon in St David’s in Pembrokeshire, filming Rebecca Soni as she joins a group doing coasteering – jumping off cliffs and rocks into the Irish Sea. Spectacular!

Very nice dramatic light on our VisitBritain shoot at Stonehenge with Heather Mitts – her hero shots will look amazing.

Here in Bath’s Thermae Bath Spa with Heather Mitts: we have a perfect morning, makes the 0600 call time all worthwhile!

Commenced our VisitBritain 9-day shoot yesterday in London and Manchester. Our DoP Andrew Litt was filming with Olympic wrestler Henry Cejudo while I followed twice Olympic gold medalist soccer player Heather Mitts.

Having gotten off the plane from the US at 5 am, Heather showed no signs of flagging through our fairly hectic day filming at Hampton Court, Windsor, Coworth Park and on to Swanage. Inspirational!
