April 2016 – Present
BBC Studios Unscripted Productions for BBC One
Series OB Producer and Director of the daytime version of Crimewatch, broadcasting live every day from a different location – capturing the extraordinary efforts the police and other emergency services go to, to protect the public from crime and its impact.
I completely refreshed the visual style of the 'roadshow' elements of the programme – using branding and police assets to create an identity for the OBs (that dovetailed harmoniously with the studio output) – where previously there was none.
I introduced a dynamic shooting style – choreographing action, editorial content and technical resources – to maximise the creative impact of our output.
And broadcasting LIVE from a different location everyday, it was necessary to develop a close and immediate working relationship with stakeholders at each venue. I enjoyed collaborating with them, to adapt and stage for the programme their particular specialism.
Inch perfect timing from the Met's Mounted Branch display team.
