It is great to be back working again after lockdown and it is equally great to have been working in East Lothian recently. Most of my work commissions are usually further afield over Scotland so it was a real treat to be commissioned to produce a series of films for Visit East Lothian to highlight the message that East Lothian is open for visitors.
I worked closely with Kirsty Innes PR to plan two films to which featured a selection of visitor attractions which are members of East Lothian Tourism Attractions Group which includes amongst others, Historic Environment Scotland, National Trust for Scotland and National Museums Scotland. Filming took place over three days and featured real members of staff revealing why they love East Lothian. A lot of the film was shot in slow motion to emphasise the calm, safe environments the visitor attractions have developed.
In addition to the two longer films for the domestic and international market I also produced a 30 sec version for social media use and a square version for Instagram.
Love East Lothian 30 sec Version
In these Covid days it is an advantage to to work as a one man crew to limit the number of people on location. In addition to filming, sound recording and lighting I also produced an animated sting of the Love East Lothian logo.
I loved making these films and it was great to reacquaint myself with the abundance of activities available in East Lothian. I felt a bit like a tourist myself. With a couple fo film cameras, sound and lighting equipment.
Love East Lothian.
