Fun fact: this PTC with

Amazing what you can get nowadays!

After 7 years at
@BBCNews
I’ve decided to depart the organisation for my next adventure…
I am thrilled to say that I’ll be joining the
@CBSNews
London Bureau later in the year as a Senior Shoot/Edit!
Less than 24hrs after the BAFTAs I’ve just arrived in Adana, Turkey. Within an hour of being here there’s been another earthquake.
Cue a quick scramble to unpack & get on air with

Highlight was definitely the flypast at the Arc De Triomphe, here’s a 360 look behind the scenes of me filming it!
It’s kindness like this that makes me pinch myself even more.
If you’d asked this 23yr old lad ten years ago what he’d be doing now - he’d still be dreaming of this job!
Thankful to all those who have been so lovely and supportive to me throughout my career thus far.
1/ Oh btw, a word about camera operator and Reithian star
@robtaylortv
. Son of a postman and south east London; had a place at uni but took an apprenticeship at

instead. Extraordinary talent. Is paid less than you think, trust me. Will one day be paid more than you think...
View from the timeline of today’s piece from the final day of the Labour Conference - and my first leader’s speech edit!

Totally floored by this. Raeph was so good to me when I first started at the BBC and was a beacon of light and encouragement particularly for younger people in our team.
Always there for a chat, the nicest guy you could meet and a total privilege to work with. RIP my friend
The BBC News camera team are reeling today. We have lost a dear friend. Raeph Ballantyne was one of the kindest, gentlest, most talented colleagues you could hope to work alongside. Gone far too soon.
A small flavour of what I’ve been up to thus far...
Incredibly fortunate to be doing what I’m doing now and to work with a stellar team of people.
Today marked my first day as a senior crew at
@BBCNews
- very much looking forward to new challenges ahead.

Tip for filmmakers: always watch your edit on a normal TV to make sure that what your audience is seeing is how you intended it to look - not everyone has broadcast monitors!
