The assignment
A key interview, produced from the other side of the world
The BBC needed to film Kathy Etchingham for its Witness program. Its producers were in London and the interview subject was at home in Melbourne, so the Australian side needed to be handled by a crew they could trust.
We worked closely with the BBC team before the shoot, prepared the interview space and captured the conversation using broadcast-standard camera, lighting and sound equipment. Clear communication kept the London producers informed throughout.
Because we were filming in someone’s home, the job also called for discretion and care. The crew needed to make Kathy comfortable, work respectfully in the space and represent the BBC professionally.
