This short film was made on a one day training course
"The course consisted of some expert training in camera operating for film and on lighting which I thought was excellent"
"We needed training in camera work and booked RFK for a one day course which took place in the relaxed surroundings of his home. Theoretical aspects were explained before we made a short film in the afternoon! Actors, camera, lights, scripts, location were provided, even lunch was supplied. The film was edited later and distributed to all on the one day course a few days later. Well recommended, cost-effective, relaxed yet very proferssional. Does what it says on the tin."

Roger Knott Fayle's creativity has impressed me, amazed me and amused me - often in the same moment. His originality and inventiveness is often invested with his wit and wry humour and this goes to make his work both an enlightening experience and a joy. As a human being he's also a top bloke. Graham Lester George
Roger is an excellent video camera operator, taking any brief and making it into inventive and beautiful moving images. He is a pleasure to work with, and always gels the crew around him. After more than ten years of hiring Roger I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future. David Woodhead
I have worked with Roger on many different projects, and it is always a delight. Roger's skills and creativity are extensive, whether, it's filming, lighting, writing, composition of music, editing - Roger is able to provide, to the highest standard, just what the project needs. He was invaluable in the team that created "I'm No Hero" - an innovative and exciting multi media production. Ava Hunt
I have had great respect for Roger's in depth knowledge of all things interesting and usually a little mind boggling, since he first taught me at Intermedia film and television. He is incredibly creative, enthusiastic and believes whole heartedly in what he produces. Ben Wigley
Roger Knott Fayle is one of the most creative and motivating people i have ever met or will expect to meet. Roger always comes up with a way of getting you to love the things you may otherwise hate . he can turn an idea or task on its head and make you wonder. I was trained by Roger in Media production and enjoyed every moment while coming away with bags of practical and technical skills that set me in in my carear Television and in my every day life. Iain Grey
Roger is charming and talented. He sensitively filmed a course we ran called Communication With Impact, then edited the footage into brilliant "before" and "after" segments, which blew us away and will remain extremely useful to those who took part. I can't wait to work with him again. Neil Mullarkey

It's made by Roger Knott-Fayle, using a pinhole camera and a video camera recording the same scenes at the same time.
