MICHEL ROUX'S SERVICE

I Edited two programes ( program 1 &  6 ) of this 8 x 1 hour BBC Two series starring Michel Roux. In this new series, Michel is on a personal mission to train eight young people, none of whom have previously considered this as a career, to become front-of-house superstars. But this isn't just about transforming young people into great waiters, good service involves discipline, care for others and self confidence.

WORLD OF SPORT WITH DICKIE DAVIS

Online Symphony job which involved a great deal of green screen work and reformatting of archive footage.  The Producer Chris Hill said in a review of the programme:

 "Mick partly helped to create the look of the show. Having shot the shows various interviews on green screen, he played an instrumental role in choosing the background.  The show features a combination of both film and video archive and digi footage so he had his work cut out as far as grading was concerned to make the differences appear seamless.  He made this look effortless and his general enthusiasm was a great boost".
