Making Movies

Myself and Clive Nicholls have been involved in the printed version of magazines for more than 50 years. Now that Choice has ceased publishing with ink on paper we are still putting most of our mix of content on our Websites (www.choicemag.co.uk) and (www.enjoybritainonline.co.uk).

You can find Simon Evans’ reviews of film, TV, books and music every month as well as the yoga column from Gail Willis. There’s lots more, too, and there will be even more as we get used to a new medium. If we are honest, we still hanker after the sort of publishing we grew up with but the spiralling costs of print and paper put paid to that. However, the Internet means we can carry on – after all we are only 70-years-old.

Clive has taken thousands of brilliant still pictures over the years and we will still be publishing lots of new ones on the Websites. But in this modern world moving pictures are an important part of the mix. So, Clive has added videos to his repertoire and is busy perfecting this new visual art. Here he is on Strumble Head on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast fighting the wind helped by a special bit of kit that helps keep the video camera steady as he moves around.
