Bjorn has Edited Produced some of our VT content for Blue Peter. We operate in a very fast turnaround environment and Bjorn was able to take his films from into our self-edit suites to rough cut them on Avid and then edit produce the VTs with a craft editor. Bjorn is highly organised, motivated and creative and has an aptitude for story telling which is clear and structured. Bjorn's comm writing is excellent - engaging, entertaining and helping to drive the narrative when needed. His selection and use of music is strong. Bjorns VTs are always delivered on time, to a high standard and require minimal notes and changes.
Bjorn joined the CTVC team to produce two live and two pre-recorded episodes of Live Lessons, bringing thoughtful creativity and a strong instinct for educational storytelling. His sharp attention to detail, rigorous due diligence, and relentless drive to make each show the best it could be quickly made him a highly valued member of our team.
Beyond the four episodes he produced, Bjorn worked just as hard to support the growth of the series as a whole and was deeply committed to developing every element of the show.
Watching Bjorn work on location — with children, talent, crew, and even an AI vulture (!) — was an absolute joy. His thorough preparation ensures shoot days run calmly and confidently, something everyone on location greatly appreciates.
Thank you, Bjorn, for all your hard work. If you get the opportunity to work with him, snap him up while you can!
Creative, calm and a joy to work with, Bjorn produced some outstanding episodes of Bitesize Daily. He's forensic in his attention to detail, interrogating key elements of format and script with a deft touch that improves every element of the show he's working on at every stage of its creation. Bjorn is equally measured and meticulous in the gallery and is dedicated and diligent in his approach to all aspects of his work. I have no hesitation in recommending Bjorn.
Bjorn worked at The Connected Set as a producer for BBC Live Lessons, a complex and busy children’s and education series with a mixture of live OBs and pre-recorded programmes. Bjorn consistently delivered exceptional programme ideas, well crafted and researched scripts for fun, entertaining and engaging programmes. Bjorn always made sure our child contributors, special guests and hosts were briefed thoroughly and enjoyed their experience on the show. Bjorn cares enormously about children’s television and that always shines through in all aspects of his work. Bjorn is efficient, reliable, hard-working and has incredible attention to detail. He is always a cheerful and fun member of production. I highly recommend Bjorn.
