New Action for Children advert

The latest Action for Children advert is currently being shown on television. It is another interview with a child that has been helped by the charity Action for Children. I was the location sound recordist for the interviews with the kids talking (see earlier post) and Christopher Wilson - a colleague from the NFTS - did the sound design; I think the adverts are great, and all in a good cause too. The animation is lovely and really suits the subject matter. Working as sound recordist on something like this can be a tricky job, largely due to the sensitivity of the subject matter, and the fact that the interviewees are children. Fortunately these kids have been helped by Action For Children, and i was proud to have worked as sound recordist on this campaign.
