Filming, Drone & location sound recording: 2 Films made in the Falklands for Mastercard / Square

In March 2020 I went on a filming trip with ‘Harvard’ to the Falkland Islands as their sound recordist and drone op. We were making 2 short films for payment system providers ‘Square’, who have set up their to help the islanders collect payments for goods and services, in particular, from the passing cruise ships. They only had one cash point in Stanley before hand. It was a pleasure to film with the drone in such a beautiful part of the world, and a joy to be working in that gorgeous extreme Southern light and weather. I also met the most wonderful community of people.

I would urge anyone looking for adventure, wildlife, good simple living to go to the Falklands, it really has it all and is a photographer’s dream. Here’s a copy of the resulting films, and if you go don’t miss a trip out to Bluff Cove to see Hattie and Kevin… and all the penguins that hang out there… oh! And the incredible tea room and shop that Hattie has lovely put together.
