Wanted: Camera-crew with stable footing

Posted: Tuesday, 24 November 2009 | Posted by Harry Harris |

I would like to place an advertisement for an unfazed cameraman/woman and this is why:

On my second 'fox' hunt today for my countryside related documentary another mate came to help me out: meet James Tegerdine.

Dressed in plimsolls and skinny jeans - he didn't really know what he was getting himself into. We got lost in The New Forest, (Hampshire) my gold car in the middle of nowhere amongst a sea of fast paced Land Rovers.

Then when we arrived on location, a tad late, I suggested we run to make sure I didn't miss my interviewee.

Enthusiastically James ran, but when I turned around he was not at eye level. He was somewhere else: the ground.

My helpful friend had hit the mud hard, head to toe, like he had done an impressive star jump but face down - the brown stuff visible from his black trousers up to his blue jacket.

We did make the interview:

"Hi, I'm Harry, this is my mate James, he has just fallen over in the mud, as you can see." 

I'm not sure who else will help me after this incident.
