And we’re off!

My last days of working for the IOV at BVE ended in mixed emotions!

Sad‘ because I genuinely loved my IOV days and the separation is only just starting to sink in.

Flattered‘ as I was overwhelmed by the number of kind comments received from members and industry contacts – which were very, very much appreciated. (PS – it was a great goodbye drink on Tues guys).

Excited‘ at the number of offers of work – including three corporate videos, two regular freelance writing positions and two regular blogger positions.

Hungry‘ for more of the above!!!

I guess this is it – I’m now on my new path!

I told them we needed a bigger stand!!!

BVE organisers have to re-build the IOV stand overnight because it was SO busy the theatre audience was spilling out causing the H&S officer to have a hissing fit. It will be interesting to see what they have managed to do when we get in this morning.

Edit Suite fired up

All cables connected and tested – and the edit suite is installed in my #mancave

Also had the new land line installed (make a note +44 (0) 203 602 3356) – which pretty much means that I’m now ready for business.  Well – that’s when I get back from a weekend of fun and frolics in Amsterdam with Tiff and friends – and then three days at BVE at Earls Court.

So – after Thursday next week its all hands to the pump!  If you are looking for an edit facility in Loughton, Essex (or indeed a fully kitted out DSLR camera operator) let me know!

Voice fantastic!

Here’s the last review I carried out whilst editor of the IOV’s Focus magazine – the EditorsKeys Portable Vocal Booth Pro 2 (click on the picture below for the PDF).  This was probably one of the most useful bits of kit I looked at over 17-years!  Its mine now – and its going to take pride of place in the edit suite once its sorted.

No points for guessing who the model was for the front cover!
