Walking backwards

We don’t have the time or the money (turns out these two things are one and the same) to lay track and pick up luscious tracking shots of this amazing location. (I persuade myself that such ornaments are unnecessary). So when the camera moves, Martin moves it, walking backwards quickly, guided by Paul, also walking backwards. This delicate two-step makes me think of Strictly Come Dancing. martin's back.JPG

Haha! Fun and games!

I helped a friend of mine film one of his student films a few years ago. I had the terrifying job of trying to film a group of people walking along a busy pavement somewhere near Leicester Square while standing on a skateboard that was being pulled backwards rather quickly by another friend of his. All the while trying *not* to drop the very expensive camera.

Needless to say it didn't work very well. I ended up falling off, so me and the other friend swapped places. Me = small girl. Other friend = large man. Thank goodness for wheels.
