What an exciting year we’ve had here, we were lucky enough to start it off in January with a shoot for Cotswold Outdoor in Snowdonia for the next chapter of three films for their ever successful Knowledge videos. Shortly after we found ourselves involved in putting together a number of short films, promos and interviews for the Catlin Arctic Survey one of which was used as a promotional piece to help launch the expedition in the presence of HRH Prince Charles.

Polar travel suddenly became a hot topic for us as we were asked to film an expedition off to the South Pole in early March in Norway’s fabulous Hardangervidda, which was a great experience for us but probably not for our equipment. We literally stepped off the plane from Norway and drove up to the Lakes to film an event for our new client Rohan, which saw us hanging off a wet crag filming a group on a via Ferrata, as well as a series of evening lectures and interviews. After a few months of furious editing, sandwiched between moving into new offices, we embarked on making a couple of films for The Yacht Department on board their beautiful Swan 44 - Questar, some minor sea-sickness and a new camera lens led us up to a few weeks filming a number of pieces in the French Pyrenees. A bit of client work and a pitch for a couple of documentaries centred around a promotional film for a mountain chalet.

Our return from France took us down the road to Dunster Castle, filming another hugely successful event for Rohan before we shut down shop and headed out to India for September. Autumn was a slow start but suddenly got busy with a big production for Cotswold Outdoor, which just about brings us up to date! We’re in the process of finishing the films for Cotswold after almost two months of filming and editing and are looking forward to putting our feet up for a few days over Christmas! We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2010, from the Snowline team.
