Brian Cox's Rector Installation Ceremony Intro Video (Hannibal Rector anyone...?)

Thanks to Annie, we were given the opportunity to make a video to usher in Brian Cox as Rector of Dundee University at the installation ceremony on 25th October, 2010. This is our first joint production under the banner of our new venture together, August Pictures. We had great fun making this, especially getting the chance to meet and film Lorraine Kelly in person. Annie also managed to get Stephen Fry and Fred MacAulay to film their own little segments!

Gary, terrific job with this - I was sold on it being so professional that I kept hoping a commercial break wouldn't occur! Brian Cox has a distinct presence with tons of subtlety going on behind the surface - I've always thought he was great. Congrats on August Pictures taking off, and I hope more success comes of it. Tho I must say, it's otherwise more fun to watch you! - Jim

@CombatOasis Thanks Jim, we both had a lot of fun making this. The only problem with this new camera is that it's like a new car - you always want to be the one driving it! But then so does Annie, so watch this space!

@LeSaMilano Let's hope someday we'll hear the words: "And the nominees for the Oscar for best (enter heart's desire here) are: August Pictures for 'I looked at you and my legs fells off!'*, Video Junque for 'Me, me, me, me, me me, me...Oh, it's you!'*

*Imaginary titles only.

@gyloir In regards to Brian, I got a brief introduction to him at the ceremony, but he and Annie are basically best mates now as she acts in an unofficial/official capacity as his PA when he's in town. Heck, they even have each others mobile numbers!!!
