Cumbrian Bogs LIFE Editing and Filming

The purpose of the new contract is twofold:

• Taking the footage of the bog restoration work shot as part of the previous contract along with other images created by the project, and editing with additional filming, voiceover and images (where required) into a 10 minute film for the end of project conference describing the restoration works undertaken during the project - and later posting on YouTube.
• Using the footage of the bog restoration work shot as part of the previous contract, create a series of three short technical films aimed at lowland bog restoration professionals, showing what techniques have been used within the project, and the practical application of these techniques in restoring bogs. The topics will include:
• oUsing peat bunding to raise the hydrology and rewet degraded lowland raised bogs
• oUse of rotary flails in removing rhododendron and scrub from lowland raised bogs
• oRe-vegetating milled peat sites - practical techniques and lessons learnt

There will be additional footage and graphics required to complete this work and more detailed interviews with contractors illustrating issues and techniques required to deal with them.
