dM were commisioned by MC2 to produce a video for the 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Trust.

The privacy and dignity of service users is a high priority to the Trust, so a DVD was put together that focuses on giving information on wards offering single-sex accommodation in mixed-sex in-patient wards.

Through interviews with staff and featuring some of the Units and wards involved, the video highlights how they deal with privacy and dignity, and the facilities offered on the wards, including sleeping, bathing and toilet facilities.

We've been down in London for a couple of days this week shooting a music video for hip-hop group The 29th Chapter. The shoot was split into 2 blocks - the first day was a chromakey day, and the second was live performance.

We spent the first morning rigging the greenscreen, then the guys got into their costumes (which we won't reveal at this stage - we'll wait until they've announced what single they're releasing!) and then we spent the rest of the day filming various set pieces and individual verses. It was a pretty long day... we wrapped around 10.30pm and then headed over to our hotel to back up our rushes and get some sleep.

Then the next day we shot a load of live performance footage using an EX1 with a Letus 35mm adapter, and the shots look really great.  There was a lot of stuff to get, and again it was a really long day, and we didn't start the drive back until 11pm last night, but we're now back in Manchester ready to work on the first cut!
