Despite the horrendous scenes happening in London and major cities, there is light at the end of the tunnel …for me. I say this because after weeks and weeks of having RED Camera blues, the sun is now shining on that front, and I feel my love for the format is slowly resurfacing. The thing [...]

From Post to Prod
Saturday, August 6th, 2011
This week, with great trepidation, I have begun to seep from the kingdom of post-production into the world of production. To whit, I have been conducting interviews and operating the camera and sound equipment that said interviews have been filmed with! I’d like to say it has been smooth running but I’m a terrible liar [...]
New Website
Saturday, August 6th, 2011
You’ll obviously be aware of the fact that we have a new website as you will be reading the blog on it but in case you haven’t navigated your way around it,take a look. We decided a few months ago that we needed a new and updated site and chose to use Best Served Cold [...]
Cupcakes and sofa’s
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011
It’s a happy day at Nylon Films today. We took delivery of our lovely new sofa and celebrated with delicious cupcakes from buttercupcakeshop.co.uk. Yum yum! I can especially recommend the carrot cake variety! We’ve been slowly doing up our new offices here at Ugli campus since we moved in earlier this year and we are nearly done with the [...]
Sum, sum, summertime — HOORAY!!!!!
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011
Along with the English weather, which is finally cooperating, things have heated up here at Nylon Films. But we’re not complaining – we love all of our new clients and our new offices have lovely big windows that open wide. That’s right, we’ve moved – to the UGLI Campus. Brainchild of JP Creative, the UGLI [...]
I’ll Be Your Mirror…
Monday, July 25th, 2011
Musos. Geeks. Nerds. Normallos. I’m sure all of us have, at some point or another, discussed our fantasy gig line up. Fantasy is generally how they remain but for a few thousand freaks and geeks ATP and Portishead brought fantasy gig as near to reality as is likely to ever happen. Let’s start by stating [...]
And, From the Edit Suite…
Friday, February 18th, 2011
Spare a thought for the editors please! Although the results from dslr’s and trick cameras can be beautiful, digital work flow is just not as simple as popping a card into a reader and dragging the results into the edit. Mike Figgis’ recent interviews on Radio4 interview, and with The Independent sparks a response from Dan Finnerty.
Wishing you an inspired 2011
Monday, January 10th, 2011
Watching the Rambert dancers move inspired us to use all the angles when making this short film about choreography for the Rambert Dance Company. We dangled cameras from I-beams, “surfed” them on skate boards and even developed a dance or two of our own (albeit minus the grace and beauty ) while covering bits of [...]

After more than a little prodding, I was able to get my Canon 5D, three lenses – a 70-200mm f/28LUSM, a 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and a 100mm f/2.0 USM- my laptop, an extra drive, a Zoom H4n recorder, battery charger and extra batteries, a card reader, a Flip camera, my old fashioned notebook-pen set-gluestick standbys, [...]
