Great North Run

Newcastle, UK

Newcastle rapper and actor Kema Kay opens the coverage of the Great North Run on BBC1 with a specially written piece for the event.

Simon is a fantastic DOP. Before filming he always speaks to me to understand what the project is, what I want to achieve and how between us we might achieve this. It is so refreshing to have someone creatively invest in the process. Simon is not only fantastically creative with a great eye but also technically proficient so I know if I suggest a camera or lens he will immediately understand it and talk through the pros (and cons) which again really helps the creative process.
