Sight Service

Working independently, the BBC single-handed Video Journalist approach proved very popular with charities who liked the authenticity this style could capture. (They also liked the budget - just me!)

Between 2007 and 2014 I captured more than 200 Adult Learers' stories for The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) Annual Awards Ceremony. There were so many that each one had to be under a minute. Also they just wanted to hear the learners' voices - no narration. So the sound bites needed to tell the story. I filmed this one at Sight Service in Newcastle and it remains one of my favourites on account of how well the learners unbeknowingly tell their story so well...
