I have worked on Gogglebox since it’s first recorded pilot back in 2013 when we  squeezed into the “Tappers” small kitchen filming them wince, squirm, laugh and shout watching programs which were not on there normal telly watching routine!

Twenty Three series, numerous BAFTA, and National Television awards, tens of thousands of miles, many new families, its still as funny as it was in series one and still as much fun to film.

I provide the figed rig robotic cameras and camera crew for Gogglebox with SAB network providing the sound equipment and Sound Recordists.  Working in such close quarters with the contributors and for such long periods we have all got to know each other pretty well.

As well as the cameras I also provide the PMW-X1000VTR’s for recording pictures and sound. These were chosen by the production because during filming the crews generate around 25hrs of footage a night and the edit wanted everything recorded in the XDCAM 50mbps codec so it was easier to manage.

I have been teaching the Students at the National Film and Television School about how we film Gogglebox as incorporated in the “Masters in Directing and Producing TV” is a large section on casting, producing and filming Gogglebox!

With Gogglebox becoming so popular I have filmed and consulted on a number of similar programs and Gogglebox Pilots for foreign territories.
