Al-Jazzera
Now here’s a weird thing. I was sat here today just checking my email. I noticed that someone had commented on a YouTube video of the Hull Freedom Trail. It was a researcher from Al-Jazzera TV who was looking for someone to comment on a piece they are preparing for Fridays broadcast about Sierra Leone. He wanted me to record something on my web cam and upload it to them for their Global Village Voices. This is a section were members of the public can give their opinion about the issues.
The upshot of this is, that I’ll be appearing on Al-Jazzera (English) on Friday 17th April. Of course you’ll all be watching, so I won’t have to remind you…!
Commando Chaplains for Channel 4
Good news today. I’ve been commissioned to produce some of the graphics for a new TV show called ‘Commando Chaplains’. And no, this is not about your local vicar going around without his underpants, but a new programme looking at military Chaplains in Afghanistan.
At the moment I’m designing the maps for the programme. You can see an example of what I’m doing below.
The programme is due to air in June but the first screening to the commissioning editor is on April 22nd, so I’d better get going.
