October 2008 saw us tackle “the most famous bridge in the world”, Tower Bridge. We filmed a 'Heaven and Hell' themed night with full catering, musicians and speeches. We caught the setting up and taking down of the event, behind-the-scenes and the stunning views. The best part was filming from the very top of the towers, out in the wind and cold and at an exhilarating height.

Tim and Steven also jetted off to sunny Edinburgh to film a case study on Intermec CN3 hand-held devices. They had previously done the same in Warsaw. These projects would continue to occupy significant amount of time in post-production throughout November.

Clemence, who had been along to help at the Tower Bridge shoot, was now offered a more permanent position (hooray!). Her work proper began just after Halloween so November kicked off with a team of three – Tim, Clemence and Steven.

On our first job together, we went to film an interview with Emlyn Pearce, who is recording a pilot for a series called 'The Book Club Detective'. He was interviewing a biographer about A.A. Milne for his episode on 'Winnie the Pooh'. We are looking forward to the second half of the project which will take place in early spring this year in Ashdowne Forest.

The next interview we filmed was part of the Juggle interviews by Ian Sanders. He was talking to Martha Lane Fox about managing to keep lots of jobs all going at once. Martha was extremely sweet and interesting and we got free Lucky Voice tickets from it! Need to book a karaoke night soon!

Our filming at Ravensbourne School continued through November and early December. We were filming a combined art/music/dance/story-telling project which resulted in a performance. We love being involved with this school because of the kindness and sense of fun of the organisers and kids alike. This long-term project is being processed into a short film for the school and the Museum of London.

Early December saw Steven off to Paris with Ian Sanders again. This time, the interview was with Gary Vehnerchuk, a wine guru and online networker extraordinaire. His interview, which is entertaining and inspiring, can be seen by accessing www.iansanders.com, and following the links.

Steven then took a well-deserved break on a photography tour of Switzerland. Check out the fruits of that journey at www.stevenmayatt.co.uk.

Back from his Continental tour, Steven kindly loaned out his equipment to budding film-maker, Clemence, who engaged on a personal project documenting the lead-up to Crisis at Christmas. She spent most of the Christmas holidays filming Architecture for Humanity volunteers transforming the centres. If you would like to find out more about this initiative, visit www.afhuk.org or www.crisis.org. The documentary is still a work in progress.

On the last day of work we filmed a quick interview with Robert Dornhelm. He directed the new film version of 'La Boheme'. That was an interesting interview for us because he discussed techniques and considerations of big film making. Some of us got a little starry-eyed.

Then it was Christmas! And we all had a nice break. Except Steven, who likes to work on days like birthdays and New Years (not really! - check out his Facebook picture, he likes to party with a wig on).

We came back to work on January 5^th, like merry Christmas elves, and started organising some positive changes for 2009. New branding, brochures and website – all to hit the net soon! Greater communication with our friends and customers like this blog, and our new Twitter account. Better organisation through a new network drive, on-line calendars and clearer defined roles.

A serious technical advancement is also on the cards as we have booked a second big editing suite so we will get post-production through the system double-quick! All this means we are improving our services and we have some great projects already lined up for the future.

We will be back filming for a major cleaning company in March at Leeds Metropolitan University. We will be off to Manchester on the 12^th Feb to film a Jaga event opening.

Before that, there will be another Juggle interview on the 5^th Feb and on the 18^th of Feb we will start a new series of interviews for a return of MoneyExpert TV. This series is about financial difficulties in the recession and particularly personal debt. We are still looking for case studies so if you want to make a quick £100 and get some financial advice, do get in touch. Alternatively, if you want to talk about any of our services, or if you have any fashion tips for Steven, please feel free to comment below.
