Next up in our Technician spotlight is James Edgcombe - one of our wonderful Video Operators here at Orchard Onset ⚡️

👋 Who are you & what do you do?
Hey I’m James, and I’m a Video Op from sunny Cornwall

🎬 What’s your getting into the industry story?
Coming from Cornwall, the film industry just didn’t seem accessible. When the opportunity came up for some work experience at Panavision, & on-set for a week of test shooting on a film, I jumped at it

⏱️ How long have you been in this role?
It’s been a while - I’ve been in the video department for ten years now!

🌟 What do you enjoy the most?
It’s definitely watching the Director’s vision come to life, using the tools within Q-take to aid onset. Whether that’s editing, using mix & overlays, or pulling up references to support other crew members

📺 TV/ Films you loved working on?
Some personal highlights have been The Swimmers and Aquaman 2. I love jobs that allow me to get super technical, whether that’s managing multiple cameras, working with long range wireless video transmitters, editing on-set, or working in challenging and remote locations

🏄‍♂️ Best way to spend down-time off of set?
If I’m not on-set I’ll be in the sea! Surfing, free diving or spearfishing..

💭 Tips for those starting out:
Don’t be afraid to ask questions within your department and wider ones - understanding a filmset as a whole is such an incredibly valuable skill. You can use that understanding to predict and pre-empt situations - so you become proactive and get ahead!

We’ve come a long way since we started offering film scanning - what began as a passionate, hands-on service has grown into a key part of the UK’s film community! 🎞️

Since the introduction of our first custom-built scanner in 2016, we’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. Our move to partner Kodak Film Lab London’s facility at Pinewood Studios in 2023 has elevated our capabilities - allowing us to deliver even greater performance for our clients

📍 Being based at Pinewood means we’re right at the centre of the action, continuing to support filmmakers with the same care, craft and love of film that’s been with us from the very start

Thank you to our brilliant clients and collaborators for being part of the journey - here’s to many exciting things to come! 💥

DIT Masterclass in Action at DO HQ 🎬

Our Access 2025: DIT & VIDEO Trainees got hands-on with digital imaging in a workshop led by none other than expert DIT Szymon Wyrzykowski

It was another full day of courses learning all about DIT, including the history of digital imaging, a DIT’s role on set and much more!

💭 Access 2025 Trainee shared, ‘The workshop with Szymon was incredible. He covered in depth the expectations and responsibilities of being a DIT and gave us invaluable honest advice’

‘We were fortunate to have the opportunity to have hands on experience with the DIT rig and understand the practical role of the DIT Trainee. Szymon was very approachable and we asked about a million questions. Thank you so much!’
