Clive North

Aerial Cameraman, Camera Operator, Crane Operator, Lighting Camera

About:
I'm an Hd Cam and DigiBeta owner-operator, based in the UK shooting predominately science and history-based subjects for BBC and Channel 4 in the UK plus National Geographic, Nova and Discovery in the US. I'm experienced in drama-documentary shooting in all sorts of uncomfortable places such as down caves and mines (a bit of a speciality), in the air and at sea. Helicopter work has included using Tyler mounts in the past, but nowadays handheld with a Canon stabiliser lens has been the favourite over locations such as the active volcano vents of Hawaii and the heights of the Swiss Alps. Closer to home Channel 4’s archaeological series ‘Time Team’ has regularly involved more helicopter work. In years gone by I became known as 'the famous Clive' in Keith Floyd's roving cookery programmes! Award - "In the Shadow of the Moon" - Dox TV/ThinkFilm/Channel 4. Audience World Cinema Award at Sundance Film Festival 2007. Award - "Hitlers Hidden Secret" - Dox TV for Nova. Gold Plaque at the 2006 Chgicago Film Festival. Award - "Equinox - Project Poltergeist" - Dox TV for Channel 4. John Grierson Award (2004) for 'Best Documentary on Science or the Natural World' Award - October 2004 - Certificate of Merit - Guild of Television Cameramen -"Extreme Archaeology (Parys Mountain)" - Mentorn TV for Channel 4. Award - October 2004 - Wildscreen Golden Panda - (Earth Sciences) - "Equinox -Magnetic Storm" - Dox TV for Channel 4. Website: www.clivenorth.co.uk
