Today was the final pitching stage, I felt the pressure more this time and I was nervous last time but there were more questions because there needed to be no holes, or at least less holes in the pitch. With the UFO doc, we pitched as the whole team we wanted it strong as it's something I'm quite attached to. Me and the producer though seem to be on separate pages, so need to get on the same page so this doc is as strong as it can be.
James pitched the bionic man, which is the one I'm camera on. The pitch was clear but again our lecturers were looking for holes in the pitches to pick out the strongest ones from the rest.
I'm technically, on 4 productions at the moment, which is the UFO doc, Bionic man, BMX and the cusp of madness. Cusp of madness is a new one that was brought to the table, about artists trying to reach the goal of fame, looking at ryan keen and also using the access of gaining an interview with the drummer from madness. So, I shouldn't be worried about what gets made but I still felt the pressure incase they all got made.
The UFO doc and the BMX got greenlit, which at first I was a little bit disappointed about because I wanted to do a camera role and those were the roles on the other documentaries. In the end I backed down as producer on the BMX and took on the role as 2nd camera in order to get a camera role. Not as fortunate this time to get a main camera role but I see any experience as being important and I will continue this out of my studies as well. Now the making begins!!

Bionic Man
The camera man I'm working with for the ufo documentary has found an amazing story that fits the extraordinary me brief for BBC3. This guy that he had mentioned to me in previous conversations, he was trying to get hold of before he found the APFU, has agreed to be filmed.
His name is David, and he is 1 of 3 people in the UK to be testing the esko exoskeleton suit, as well as this he is on the GB team in badminton for the paralympics, and will be an Olympic torch bearer. His story is inspirational as his determination and enthusiasm is why he was put forward for the ekso suit.
This is David's story:-
