nope. camera work is the one thing i can't do, though we're having training for that later this year as one of our specialist cameramen took redundancy. budgets are tight so as well as scripting, producing, presenting and editing our own video packages, we will now be expected to film and light them too. quality will inevitable suffer when you're out filming as a one man band but that's where the industry is going: belt tightening is more important than production values right now.
