God
November 12, 2009
God and his aunt have been in Berlin and Eastern Germany over the last few weeks, Gordon Brown too!!
All part of the huge media circus surrounding the spectacular celebrations commemorating the Fall of the Wall. Our crews joined hundreds of others covering the events and delivering packages to boadcasters worldwide. At times it was like hell in a handcart with dozens of reporters next to each other doing stand ups and pieces to camera in front of the Brandenburg Gate. Great fun though and a hugely moving and historic event. We were shooting XDCam HD, editing on the fly and satelliting out day and night.
