Your Ticket to Scotland
This advert was commissioned by Abellio after they took over Scotrail in 2015. The idea behind the advert was that Scotrail could take you anywhere in Scotland and they conveyed that by placing ticket terminals in different, everyday objects around Scotland. |

On The DIT
I took on the role of DIT for this shoot. It was shot on the Arri Alexa in 4:3 Anamorphic which meant that when I was creating proxies it was a very different process than I had ever experienced before.
I won't go into all the details of that though; instead I'll tell you a funny story about the DIT process. As you will see in the advert, part of it was shot up a Mountain. This was a bit of an issue when I was working on a laptop to capture the footage as it was on the last of its batteries.
I asked around to everyone on the set to see if they had any ideas for a solution, when one of the camera operators spoke up and said he had a homemade plug. The only issue being that it needed to be attached to a car battery to work. So we moved a van away from the shooting location, uncovered the battery and attached it to the make shift plug.
Luckily neither myself nor the laptop exploded and I managed to capture the rest of the footage, but I will always remember the day when I created proxies up a mountain attached to van battery.
