Tonight I filmed with Tony Palmer for his BBC4 documentary about Gustav Holst the famous composer. the filming took place in Whitefield near Manchester with an amazing Band, Besses o' th' Barn. There was a few of us from Salford who went along to the venue and we set up three cameras to capture the footage from a collection of angles in as few takes as possible. I was keen to get onto the sound recording side of things for this as it is something that I really enjoy and the challenge of a Brass Band in a tiny room was to big to pass.
I did make a mistake early on, however I am thoroughly pleased with the final results. The footage will form a small part of Palmers two hour documentary but it should be aired mid march.
