Royal approval for

film maker Dave
A NESTON camera crew got up close and
personal with the Queen recently.
Dave Bladen, who runs Elite Video, had the
opportunity to film Her Majesty while doing
a documentary on the Duke of Lancaster
Regiment.
Dave, who specialises in corporate and wedding
videography, worked on the project with fellow
film makers Dan Fox, Chris Owen, Jody Rimell and Joe Fox
(pictured).
“With many film crews working for the British Army I felt very
honoured to be selected as the only film company commissioned
to produce such a prestigious DVD for 2,500 soldiers to have as
a keepsake, said Dave.
“Only one film cameraman was allowed to get up close to Her
Majesty. “We had to stay about 10ft away while being ushered on
as the Queen walked towards us.
“I did feel very special to have such a chance in my profession to
one day filming a bride and groom then next the Queen.”
