Please note...I've now retired from running training courses. You can still contact me with random weird questions about Sony camera systems though.

Be careful out there!

If you need training, support or advice on broadcast and high definition television production, then this site will be of interest.

With over eighteen years working for Sony, and three years before that with the BBC, Neil Thompson has the depth of knowledge you need to help understand what the latest technology can do for you, and how to get the best from it.
