My Role

I was once again delighted to light, shoot and direct this edition of The Engineers for BBC World Service.

I provided all camera equipment and operators, and directed a live vision mix of the recording. The video was used by the BBC to promote the radio programme ahead of broadcast.

This was my second live event collaboration with The Engineers - see also the successful Robots At The Science Museum.

About The Event

The BBC World Service and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 bring three of the world's greatest space flight engineers to London to discuss space travel with a large public audience at Imperial College.

Presenter Kevin Fong meets Adam Steltzner, Nasa's chief engineer for the 2020 Mission to Mars, Anuradha TK, Geosat programme director for the Indian Space Research Organisation and David Parker, director of Human and Robotic Exploration at the European Space Agency.
