Stopped at the airport to be swabbed and also have my bags searched. Again.

Of course I got profiled by security at the airport. Every. Single. Time.
What’s in your suitcase?
What have you packed?
List the items.
Are you sure you listed everything?
Are you certain there’s nothing else you missed?
Where are you going?
Why?
We’re going to take everything out and swab it.

I’ve spent the last few days working with my team of colleagues to document the buildings and stages in the Fairbanks Building and Neptune House at BBC Elstree Centre in 360° and LiDAR. Built for ATV in 1960 and 61, these two buildings are due to be demolished later this year.

I won an RTS award for editing tonight. For a film I edited, directed and produced with a production company I set up by myself. I never thought it would be possible for me to achieve something like this. I’m so grateful to Walter Murch for trusting me with his concept and story.

@robertcraig-morgan.bsky.social I found you again! ☺️
Did you know that Neptune House at BBC Elstree is being demolished soon? I was there yesterday and I’m going to make a visual record of the building, and Fairbanks, before both are gone forever.

🎬 Yesterday we filmed Elstree Project interview #78 with Academy Award-winner John Stephenson.
He reflected on The Dark Crystal, Greystoke, and Return to Oz — and how Elstree Studios became the birthplace of modern British VFX and animatronics.

This was an absolutely marvellous event - feel very lucky to have been there. A beautifully chaired interview with an extraordinarily articulate and entertaining person! And the film is fantastic.
Murch’s excellent book is out soon from @faberbooks.bsky.social. Murch in Bristol 15 May with a special showing of Her Name was Moviola and he will then be in conversation with me.
