This week Skylark Media have had the pleasure of filming with Alys Fowler, author and gardening columnist for the Guardian.

We were blessed with a crisp, sunny, January day for our filming. The drive up from Bristol was smooth, leaving us time to grab a cup of tea before meeting Alys, her dog and chickens in her town garden in Birmingham.

The job was to film two videos for Carbon Gold’s new website. The first is a promotion for their soil enhancer, BioChar, to show the many ways that the product can be used to improve soil fertility and plant growth. The second is a guide to jobs you could be getting on with during the winter months.

Cameraman, Luke Fleming, was operating the Sony EX1 for the wides, and a Canon 7D for close ups and promotional stills. We came home with some stunning rushes that will be edited together over the next couple of weeks into a powerful marketing tool for Carbon Gold’s latest product range. The videos will be hosted on You Tube, and embedded in the client’s website to gain the maximum value from video SEO.

Have a look at our latest video presented by Alys Fowler.
