What we shoot on depends on the day. For walking films, it’s often the trusty GoPro Hero 11, for docs an FX3 with an FX30 as b-cam.

*Sometimes* we go for this classic beauty - a 1970 Bolex 160 Super8 camera, for b-roll and character. Currently exposing some Wittner Wolfen Color stock at 24 fps.

The stunning Bridge House in St John’s in the Vale.

A remote farmhouse sits beside the bend in a river, with large old trees behind it. In the background is Skiddaw.
