My Blog

23. Co-Owner One Take Productions. Liverpool. I direct, produce, edit and specialise in filming corporate events and promotional videos for businesses, councils, schools and charities. I love my job! I eventually want to work worldwide working on documentaries for bands/artists or on travel programmes. My other loves include football, gigs, music and having good times with friends. I also write a film review blog, as I see that many films I thought I would put my thoughts to use. This blog gives me a chance to just get down what I'm thinking, feeling, watching or doing. For more information please visit my company website One Take Productions.

After filming yesterday and today I cannot believe how many amazing people that we filmed for/with last year, are out of work due to the government cuts!

Last year we produced 2 big films over the summer covering events that were going on to help children stay off the streets, keep small businesses going and to help local communities come together and help the poorest communities when times were at there worst.

Now after meeting a woman we had the priviledge to film for last year, we learnt that a lot of the people that ran these events were made redundant and the events were all scrapped.  We knew the events had been scrapped but we did not know that the people who put everything in to help others had lost their jobs. 

Now communities are back to having no help, the kids that were off the street are now back on them and local businesses are going bust.

This is so wrong on so many levels.  I always knew the cuts were bad but I didn't realise just how bad.   It just shows how out of touch the government actually are.

its great when

A business meeting goes your way!

We went in for an hours meeting with one of our clients and came out with 1 massive editing job and 2 filming days that will keep us very busy from now until the end of October.

Getting started with everything tonight, there's a lot of work to be done :)

Looking forward to the challenge!

I have a feeling today could be a busy one.  We are sending out our new wedding brochers and there are a lot to get out.

Updating the websites and hopefully designing a new banner for the main site are also on my list of things to do.

Along with another job search and weights.

I'll have the new Kooks and Ed Sheeran albums to keep me going!

Turkey 2011

Was the best holiday of all time..start to finish, there was no fault!

Take me back there now please :)

[jason-onetakepro-blog]

Its been a mad 24 hours...

Last night our websites & the admin sites were hacked and totally defaced with crap from a team of hackers. 

It was a tough night trying to get our hosting site to get the two sites restored from a backup file as they are based in America. This morning we were back online but our admin passwords were all changed and there was no way of changing them.

I don't have an in depth knowledge of working with codes and stuff but we got some help from a forum and finally after hours of working on it we got it all back online.

Relief! But I have spent tonight packing for my holiday :) cant effing wait for Saturday..hello Turkey!!!! 

Now its time to chill out and listen to the Everton game with some beers!

[jason-onetakepro-blog]

i am watching this live dvd once again, its far too good!

[jason-onetakepro-blog]

Glad to see

the Premier League is back :)

How I have missed match days on Saturday and Sunday's...

The return of Match of the Day last night was well worth the wait, shame Everton's game was postponed though. But roll on Saturday and our first game against QPR!

Why is it

When you want to just sit down and get stuck into editing, does stuff start to go wrong?!

So annoying!!!! I would have had this done ages ago had it just worked as normal :-/
