Today marks Copycat’s first birthday. Thank you to everyone who’s supported the business and also me by extension, believed in what we’re building, and helped shape the journey so far. Here are some cats to say thank you

’Never meet your heroes’ is a phrase that doesn’t really apply here. We shot this nearly a year ago on one of the hottest days June had to offer. It was incredible to see so much get done in a single day, but managing the data across two units (interview & editorial) meant I had little time to truly appreciate some of the creatives who shaped my childhood.

Really grateful to have worked with The Cornershop for Autistica; a nice bonus when a job is fulfilling as well as fun. Things can feel a bit up in the air these days, but being on set with a lovely team was a reminder that the camaraderie and community is something that can't be automated out.

I’ve been enjoying using the Set Link Nanos by @oz_color.fr for the past couple of weeks. These camera control boxes have proved instrumental in improving how I work, allowing me to quickly flash the false colour or log whilst at my cart (without having to annoy the assistants) means I can easily check highlights or see how much we actually have to play with in the shadows, even if we have a custom LUT doing all sorts (which would typically make monitoring exposure pretty unreliable). Looking forward to seeing other ways I can use this wireless ethernet magic tech. Credit goes to @filmfix_bernard for telling me about this snazzy alternative to the bitbox. #cameratech #SetLinkNanos #filmproduction #wirelessmonitoring #techinnovation #filmmakingtools

Spending the weekend on this project with @youthbeyondborders was intense, but also incredibly rewarding. Overseeing two units as DIT meant balancing technical precision with the fast pace of the shoot, making sure everything ran smoothly while capturing something that really matters. It’s always a challenge, but that’s what makes it exciting. Collaboration at this level pushes everyone to bring their best. Seeing the final piece come together, and knowing it’s part of a project that’s already raised £1.3 million to create real opportunities for marginalised young people, is a reminder of why this work matters. Here’s to a year of putting young people’s dreams and aspirations first!
