video and film equipment in the Yorkshire Dales .... and a coffee!

I sometimes work with my friend Lee Martin, lighting gaffer on the recent Four Lions film, who is an expert on lighting as well as a top video cameraman when I am in director mode, he and I have worked across the UK on projects together and had a lot of fun doing so. As well as his range of lighting that supplements my own lighting rigs he collects a range of older redundant equipment in his barn in the Yorkshire Dales. I called in to pick up some lighting supplies, and after a coffee Lee was keen to show me his 1970s audio mic boom arm from a tv studio that he now has, complete with an elevating platform for the operator.
