ACT FOR EDEN'S RIVERS!
ACT FOR EDEN'S RIVERS π
Back in June, I worked on a project with Tania Crocket from Eden Rivers Trust and Lowther Endowed School to produce a film which is jam-packed full of information all about WATER! The children explain where WATER comes from, where WATER goes and challenge their audience to help Reduce Pollution, Help Nature and Use WATER Wisely.
Tania's going to use the film as an educational resource with children from other schools she works with across the Eden catchment.
The thing is, we never stop learning do we? I feel like I know so much now that I didn't know before about water - something which we all take so much for granted! As well as going on field trips to reservoirs and water treatment works, the children all learned a thing or two too about filming techniques too ππ¬π₯
Materials Recycling Facility - Leyland
Last year I was commissioned by Lancashire County Council to produce a film to show the process of plastic waste in its recycling facility in Leyland. Two weeks later, we went into lockdown! So this has ended up the most epic film ever - 12 months in the making!
It's been really interesting - I'm a real recyclyng zealot - my recycle bins overfloweth each collection week. However, to be honest, I've not really ever considered what happens once it's off my driveway. This film was really interesting. It was also noisy, smelly, dark and a bit terrifying (when my imagination got carried away!). However, I went there so you don't have to π.
It's a bit like Indiana Jones wrapped up in the 1980's A-ha music video "Take on Me". It goes way beyond the treatment usually afforded to these sorts of information films.
Thanks to Janine Lund and eeryone at Lancashire Renewables for your help and support.
Watch and learn and enjoy π
During the pandemic, I've been producing films about how University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has adapted practices to work with patients. There's some clever stuff been going on.
Here's a film I produced with Richard from The James Cochrane Practice and Amanda from Kendal Care Home about the use of Hololens technology with Microsoft Teams. It was like stepping into the film Minority Report. I love making these films π There's always something to learn isn't there?! And they keep me on my film making toes!
LiNa Energy
It's amazing what you find out when you produce films! In fact film production just legitimises my nosiness!
Last week I completed a series of short films for Lancaster-based Research and Development company, LiNa Energy. The films will sit on their website. They are developing batteries which rely on sodium rather than cobalt and lithium.
If you think about it, the potential in this for transport and energy storage is ma-hoosive! I'm going to keep going back to document their progress in film.
