Just back from London and recording 3 video podcasts for a client, The Company of Information Technologists. The Clerk, Michael Grant, and his team were brilliant at getting things organised for us.

With all the kit we use being able to unload in London is usually a nightmare. Once we literally left the van for 1 minute to move the equipment into an office reception area. When the crew got back they had been given a parking ticket. How delivery people cope I don't know. Michael had a reserved space for us to unload and park within a few metres of the office. Wonderful!

Within an hour of arriving we had done two video interviews - one with Michael and the other with Colin Knight, The Master of the Company. We had the usual location problems of background noises. We were able to turn-off the room air conditioning but local builders were drilling and the sound vibrates through the building structures and can be distracting. Even with double glazing and in a quieter part of town means you will get some noise intrusion. One of the hazards of working outside the studio but you have to do as much as you can to minimise the impact on anyone watching.

After capturing the two interviews we then decamped to the nearby Priory Church of Saint Bartholomew the Great. For layout and plans plus great photos see here. For more details see the wiki. The Church has featured on TV and films and is the oldest surviving Church in London dating from 1123. It is wonderful.

The footage is now in the studios for editing. As soon as it is available I will post the relevant links.

I also have some stills of the crew in action. I will post those on Flickr.
