Got a couple films coming out. One on flow controllers, pumps etc that might help some understand better http://youtu.be/JK4vqL9gneA
And one film for fun coming soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyoANaFK8Qo&list=UUCOaSlHI7OgFxaTrJjvGr4Q&feature=share&index=1
These are trailers btw
Then do a follow up on pumps and controllers with Peter Fogwill.
That would just be called "pumps with peter fogwill"
Lee. At the risk of being a little controversial, why does Spring need the services of Perry Tait to do this feature with? Who is Perry Tait?
Surely Ian could have linked in with someone who has a bit more credibility in the world of window cleaning such as Alex Gardiner who also has many years of hands-on window cleaning experience. He also sells the Spring controller range.
Perry is a marketing and sales man and hasn’t got hands on experience with window cleaning with a pole – a fact that is clearly evident on his videos. His knowledge is all learnt theory. He was there to promote Reach-it. I can just hear the conversation with the camera man – “take the shot from my right side so people can clearly see my company name.”
So what I’m sure will be a very interesting technical video done by Ian will be spoilt IMO by someone promoting themselves and their company on the back of it.
No problem buddy. Let me try and answer your comments one by one.
Firstly, I do not let stuff like this consume my life.
I spent a week with Perry Tait filming the Reach-iT UK Tour, part of his larger World Tour sometime last year. Primary reason for Reach-iT and its tour was to promote their products in the UK but more importantly to meet as many window cleaners face to face as possible. This is the part WCM TV was interested in mostly when we planned the fly on the wall documentary. I got some great footage by the way.
Alex Gardiner, has been approached a few times in relation to WCM TV projects but has told me that its not for him. I respect that ( maybe one day we can get an 'inside Gardiner' documentary)
I guess on Perry's list of business visits was Spring in that trip. Spring has developing controllers for Reach-iT at the time.
I don't think you should under estimate PT knowledge and experience. My first hand knowledge of this guy is the opposite to what you have said.
In fact the 'chat' feel of this project will show that. Tech stuff can be boring so to have it as a 'chat' film with camera shots similar to something like on 'The Office' I thought might help to make the viewing more compelling.
I speak, interview and film many industry leaders as will as many awesome window cleaners like you and me. Not everyone likes each other, I can tell you some stories lol but that's not what I think my job is all about.
I hope this helps
