The Brief
To compile the tv channels played onboard the BA Fleet.
Implementation
This was one of my first jobs with a client I was lucky enough to keep after setting up on my own. At the time, in an age before video on demand, the channels used to be compiled as if they were broadcast tv channels with idents, voice overs, ads and the programmes themselves. I used to ingest the footage into my first Avid suite and add the other elements before playing out to tape – yes tape! The big challenge was the tape element. Lots of editors could compile the footage, but to get it back out to tape was something only the big post-production houses in Soho could do. And me- I was very proud of myself for being a little David in a world of Goliaths!
The Result
I worked on this until technology eventually took over and there was no need to edit the channels anymore. This was a high-profile job with my monthly edits playing onboard the BA fleet for around five years.
