Director Alastair Lee checks the shot with his F3 rigged above himAlastair Lee is an award winning adventurer film maker, known for climbing movies especially and also known for making them interesting to non climbers. This can be at times quite a challenge as ascents can sometimes take hours and the dramas are usually fingertip minuscule with a large vista backdrop (Alastair gets close to capture the drama, usually putting himself in danger to get close to the climbers on the cliff face).

These achievements were recently rewarded in a different way with a commission by outdoor clothes manufacturer Berghaus to make their new TV commercial initially for the UK market.

Unfortunately that means loading the camera up with a rats nest of cables and other devices, hence F3 disappearing trick. Full story coming soon.
