About

A small 4-person crew covered the east coast of Africa in a chase plane following Tracey in her Boeing Stearman bi-plane. We completed the 32-leg journey up Africa over two months, making stops in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Sudan, and Egypt, among many other countries. The production was tough, tested the crew and presented many challenges. I undertook numerous roles for the feature-length documentary:

– Second camera & camera assistant

– Shooting & stitching time-lapse content

– DIT Backing up content from eleven cameras each day, this often meant working well into the night

– Responsible for eight GoPros attached to the bi-plane requiring daily maintenance

– Shooting and editing news pieces to send back to ITV

– Transmitting video content and setting up live satellite links

– Edit assistant organising and setting up productive workflows, setting up projects, syncing & transcoding.
