NHS Give Blood Campaign with BT Sport

A little while ago, just before the rugby world cup kicked off in Japan, I was invited along to take a very quick photo on the set of a TV ad/promo being filmed for the NHS. The aim of the ad was to encourage more people to give blood. The NHS teamed up with BT Sport, who brought together their rugby experts and pundits (mostly but not all ex international players) in order to film this short ad which is live on BT Sport at the moment - if you watch some BT Sport over the Christmas period, you’re likely to see it.

After waiting around for about an hour for them to finish filming a particular part of the ad, I jumped on set and had to gather the attention of all the team, who were keen to eat their lunch, so that I could grab a quick photo of them all on set. I didn’t have time to set up any lighting, although there was some already set up for the sake of the ad itself.
