After around six weeks of shooting, it’s sad to be wrapping and leaving the company of The Roundabout’s cast and crew. Lots of really nice and extremely amusing people, and it was a pleasure to go to work with them every day.

It’s a comedy pastiche of films like The Omen, and however it turns out, the shooting was frequently a hoot. Hope to see any and all of that crew on other jobs in the future; not a bad egg among them.

However, after long days, 6-day weeks and a tiring chunk of night shoots with big commutes, I’m going to be very happy to see the family in daylight hours for a while before I do any other long jobs. And I imagine the schoolfriend who put me up for a good few nights of the shooting will be glad to see the back of me too.

Just finishing the pickup shoot from a feature I’ve been working on in February and March. Lovely to see everyone again, but it means missing out on a shoot I’d have loved to make...

BBC Worldwide have put another fun little promo video my way: the launch of Something Special magazine, which accompanies a CBeebies show that my daughter loved between one and two years old. It features Justin Fletcher, the benevolent godfather of CBeebies, who does a Lee Evans-esque clown character called Mr Tumble.

Their launch event was yesterday, just when I was shooting pickups for the feature, so I had to send a cameraman along with my camera, and today I’ve been editing a short promo from the resulting footage. Would have loved to go in person, as Mr Tumble would be the only performer I’ve worked with who my daughter would actually have heard of. A missed opportunity for genuine street cred with Cambridge toddlers. Bugger.

At least Alice watched the short promo edit once I’d finished it, and said “now can I watch a long one, daddy?”. Which I think is a good review; you should always leave ‘em wanting more. Unfortunately, as I’m off to finish the feature pickup shoot, I’m having to be kindly bailed out by my partner in Logical Media, who’ll finish editing the longer Mr Tumble epic...
