BBC - COAST

Having worked on Coast as a researcher on programme 2 series 2 'Holyhead to Liverpool' and programme 13 series 3 'Galway to Fastnet' I had already a great understanding of the programme and had worked with many of the crew before. It was great however to see the programme through to production and be involved in the main shoots for the Irish programme.

The North Wales programme has recently been broadcast and it was great to see my name go up in the credits for the first time! Maybe next time it will be as Camera Operator...

It was great to be back on a flight to Galway with 'COAST' for two fabulous hectic weeks working twelve hour days zipping down the Irish coast in a toyota avensis. We got a light aircraft flight to the aran isles, where I shot some 2nd Camera footage, went out on a rib looking for dolphins near Lahinch and I even got to skipper a 114 year old yawl boat down South from Baltimore. I got to shoot my own footage as 2nd camera operator with the Director down along the south coast for a few days and filmed some more as 2nd camera at the kilkee curach races, a lot of which is going be used on the show when it airs in 2007.
