Patagonia with Huw Edwards

I returned early December from a shoot in Patagonia with Huw Edwards for BBC2/S4C. A very busy shoot but an amazing country and always fascinating to see the Welsh speaking communities out there. The doc is currently in the edit and will go out later this year to coincide with the 150 year anniversary of the Welsh landing in Patagonia.

Dylan Thomas Documentary presented by Rhys Ifans

I've been fortunate to spent the last few days in the company of Kevin Allen (Director, Twin Town) and Rhys Ifans working on a new documentary on Dylan Thomas. It will be a year in the making, with the broadcast planned for 2014 to celebrate 100 years since his birth.

Lectrosonics SR upgrades

I've just recently found out that the lectrosonics SRa dual receivers have been upgraded to the new model SRb which will improve range and decrease RF spill.

To those who have invested in the Lectrosonics SRa5p, these receivers can be upgraded  to the SRb for $250.  This will include replacing the RF board with a completely new board. Well worth what should be less than £200!

Zaxcom Nomad Upgrades

For those of you that took the plunge with the Zaxcom Nomad, you may be aware that there's an upgrade available for $150 that will give you more recordable tracks e.g. Nomad 6 will become a Nomad 10. This upgrade is already available but the current firmware (3.13) doesn't know of it. Therefore, wait until v4 firmware is sorted, but at the same time get it before end of December as the price goes up in the new year!
