I've spent much of the last year filming with Josh, including in the Arctic and Antarctic, and now I never want to do another shoot without him! Not only is his drone work visually stunning, but he flies very responsibly and has an astonishing level of operational and technical knowledge. Meanwhile he's also a totally solid sound recordist, operates 360 cameras, Go Pros and time lapses, and if anything at all breaks - Josh can fix it. On top of all that he's a great team player and delightful company. As I say, from now on he's always on my crew list.
