WOOo we finally started production and it has gone SUPER well. We arrived at the fire station at 8:50am and introduced ourselves to Blue Watch (the watch that was doing that shift). They then had their pre shift briefing, discussing what they were to do during the day. This we filmed, so basically we were thrown in the deep end, having to set up immediately and film literally everything.

We then spent most of our morning obtaining interior footage for part of our overall piece.

Later on in the day we had the opportunity to film a visit from a charity that takes care of people with learning difficulties. For this the watch showed them all the gear, inside the fire engine and even the water hose and the pump. This was a great opportunity to practice our handheld skills and also our ability to film on the fly and to make snappy decisions to capture the events as they happened. We really enjoyed this opportunity.

IT'S GOING REALLY SMOOTHLY.
