Behind the Scenes

With any project, there are as many talented people behind the scenes as there are in front of the camera.  The Platform Hub are interested in hearing from you if you are able to help with the following -

  • Camera or Sound - especially if you have your own equipment
  • Video Editing - again, especially if you have your own equipment
  • Directing or Producing
  • Hair and Make-up
  • Props and sets
  • Locations
  • Electrician
  • Runners
  • Many more...
At the moment, all work will be done without payment but once we have established ourselves and if there is a market for our work, we can then look at opportunities on future projects.

So, You Want to Make a Movie?

So, You Want to Make a Movie?  So, do we; in fact we want to make more than one.

A few years ago I co-wrote a script titled The Halls and in 2009 I revisited the script adding more depth, humour and drama.  The story centres around Students on their first day moving into the Halls of Residence of a famous Scottish University.

There are two storylines - the first deals with one girls turmoil at leaving her boyfriend behind as she embarks on her new life at University; the other centres on a guys struggle between the homophobia of his oldest friend and fitting in with his new found friends.

The current script is 137 pages long and would be approximately 2 hours long. 

I'm looking for a camera and sound crew, video editor, make-up & hair, costumer & props, etc. Please see the Equipment section to see what is required.

There are 13 main characters and numerous extras needed.

Location wise, we need access to a University Campus, and some Halls of Residence.  Can anyone help organise this through the University of Stirling?

If you are interested in making this movie, please feel free to contact me.

E-mail me here!

Remember, The Platform Hub is on Facebook - this is an easier way to share information straight away.

Offer of Help

So, I'm looking for help on the two projects I've already posted - and I have a few more projects in mind.  But it isn't all take - I'm offering my services to help others where I can.

If you are looking to do a project in the Stirling/Central Scotland area, let me know to see what assistance I can offer to you to help with your project.

The Platform Hub blogspot and Facebook Page are both at your disposal for you to recruit for your latest Videocast or promote your bands next gig or promote your published works etc.

Project Two

Ok, my second project will also be a Monthly Magazine of approximately 45 Minutes long per episode.  This project will feature a Local Band in each episode.  They will be filmed doing a music set interspersed with interviews with the band.

There are two aims to this Youtube Videocast.

The first is to highlight and promote the talents of local bands.  Opening up their music to a wider audience and building a relationship with them to work on other projects.

The second is to highlight and promote the talents of the presenters, camera, sound and editing team.  As with my first project, we are aiming to highlight our talents to be noticed by TV Executives to have our programme picked up and made for TV instead of the web.

For this project we need the following -


  • Camera and Sound
  • Video Editing
  • Presenters
  • Bands
  • A Garage
Again, if you are able to help, contact me at the following - 


Or

Project One

I'm looking for help on a Project.  I'm looking to create a monthly Videocast of approximately One to One and Half Hours long per episode.

This is a Magazine style Videocast with features on all things considered to be "Geek" related with a little bit of music thrown in.  To be filmed at weekends with occasional evenings within Stirling and the Central Belt of Scotland.

I'm looking for help both behind the scenes and in front of the camera.  So, if you are interested in the following and can help on a regular basis, please get in touch.


  • Camera and sound
  • Editing
  • Presenting
  • Space to use for a studio
As I said, this will be a monthly programme for Youtube but each episode will act as a "Pilot" to attract the attention of a TV Station in an effort to raise the profile of all involved and take this project from the web to TV.  

If you are interested, please get in touch -
