Island Explorer On Location!

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting jobs we have done this year (so far) was when we were hired by a film production company based at Pinewood Studios to transport a film crew around during the Bestival weekend.

We were sworn to secrecy at the time as the crew were here to film 'cut away' scenes for a new feature film and they needed shots of a pop festival. They spent 2 whole days filming using a helicopter for a few hours on one of the days. Not only was the director of the film a passenger on our mini-coach, but so was one of the best cinematographers in the business; Andrew Dunn whose credits include the Bodyguard and what a completely nice guy he was!

Judging by the feedback we've had, we played our part well and apparently we can expect a phone call the next time the Island is used as a location for a film shoot!
