The project

On this particular project we were appointed to direct and film celebrity TV presenter Jimmy Bullard whilst interviewing various Reading football players and the manager. The script itself was created by club sponsor Select Car Leasing and their marketing department were on hand to provide support and ensure the content captured met their brand values and initial deliverables.

This was a two camera shoot with one Camera op Adrian Rhoades and Director and second camera op Ollie Martin. It was Ollie’s role to ensure quality assurance was met during the shoot and the brief was met.

The venue was Reading FC’s brand new Bearwood park training facility which houses the men’s senior team and the academy. We received a full tour from Commercial Director at the club and caught up with the players after their training session. The players interviewed were relaxed and seemed to enjoy the time in front of the lens with the light-hearted questions and festive theme.
