An extremely complicated shoot to plan, involving a variety of boats, extremes of weather, long working hours and many safety related issues. I was filming one woman's attempt to be the first to swim without a wetsuit from the Outer Hebridean island of Lewis to mainland Scotland, a longer and colder swim than the English Channel. I was embedded with the team and covered this successful, history making attempt. I filmed from the front of an inflatable sea kayak and also from the rolling deck of the support boat, even providing a live interview to BBC Radio. While the woman I filmed was successful, a second team attempting a wetsuit swim sparked a huge rescue so I went back to my experience as a BBC News Correspondent and provided stills and a cut package for BBC News. |
