The Montserrat Volcano
Neil Davies of Dai4Films picked up the story of the volcano
through his contacts, flew out to West Indies and chartered a
boat, arriving in Montserrat as the volcano blew.
He filmed the reaction of the islanders as they fled the eruptions
and shot spectacular aerial footage over the volcano.
It won Channel Four award for reportage and was the first news
item ever filmed on a new digital technology. It was shown as
a scoop - a ten minute item on Channel Four News and subsequently
sold to other major TV news stations around the world. |
