Sounds of the 70s series 2 begins tonight at 10pm. A complimentary programme to The 70s, Get It On, on before it at 9pm. I’m going to be glued to both.

Sounds of the 70s was edited by me, Gary Hewson and I must add that we will be inflicting our musical tastes on you!

Do you have a moment? Why not read the item produced by Atomos on our use of their Samurai hard disk recorders.

Disco and a workflow

Tonight (Friday 2nd March) is Disco night on BBC4. If you watch ‘Disco at the BBC’ you’ll see yet another Orange Coconut programme cut by Nick. If you want to see what Gary has been up to why not watch this Landing Party Video – Behind the Scenes made by our technology provider Atomos.

The Richard Dimbleby Lecture

You may have noticed that the OC clock was broadcast on BBC1 last night. It wasn’t our fault, honest! Nick was working very hard and I think he may have mentioned Red Bee…..

More jobs…

Working Title Internship

We love this…….

Orange Coconut have had many more years in TV than we care to divulge and have a very soft spot for BBC Television Centre.

So we were over the moon to be able to share this with you – Cameraman the Movie.

Keep an eye out for a guest appearance from V.T. Tea….

One, Two or Four to watch….

Orange Coconut has been busy putting the finishing touches to a few BBC programmes.

We have been finishing Top of the Pops: The Story of 1977. A real nostalgia fest for us Punk loving children of the 70s. It transmits this Friday 6th Jan at 9pm on BBC Four.

Also we have completed the HD onlines for The Ones.

Starting this Friday with Lenny Henry at 8.30pm on BBC 1, so time to watch that and then turn over to BBC Four.

GoPro HD Hero2 cameras

Gary Hewson — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:34:51 +0000

We have used these tiny HD cameras to great effect when filming concert footage. They are great for a bird’s eye view of the drummer.

Have a look at GoPro’s own videos if you don’t believe us! James May even sent some into space.

We have been so impressed with them that we have become an agent. We are offering a celebratory promotional price on all the HD2 camera kits (HD HERO2 Outdoor, Motorsports, & Surf Editions) which are rrp £299.99 for only £269.99.

Drop us a message if you’re interested.

Children in Need and Landing Party

Gary Hewson — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 08:42:29 +0000

A busy night for Orange Coconut.

If you saw Eastenders perform Queen on Children in Need last night you’d have seen some of our work, which was directed by Richard Valentine and edited by Nick.

Please donate to Children in Need.

Whilst all that was happening we were recording Landing Party live in concert. We’ll post a report on our workflow for that one as we used some new technology that we’re rather impressed with.

Sony start HDCAM SR production, but…

Gary Hewson — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:13:45 +0000

We understand that the Sony manufacturing plant is starting production of HDCAM SR stock, however all of the first batch is destined for North America and it is highly unlikely that supplies to Europe will be back to normal until February 2012.

We have a limited number of SR tapes including a small batch of new 33 minute tapes. We like most suppliers have no 64 minute tapes at the moment. You could however present your 60 minute programme in two parts. Or why not have your used SR tapes serviced by us for reuse? We can even archive (to file) material on the tapes freeing them up for reuse.

Contact Ben, Gary or Tony for more information.
