Behind the scenes at Pinewood Studios recently, PAG assisted in the production of the pilot for a new 12-part TV series, 'The Other Side of the Screen', directed by long-time friend of the company Stanley Long.

Stanley Long has used PAG products for many years. From the film production equipment manufactured in the company's early days to the digital camera power and lighting products of today. He says:

"I have always used PAG, for as long as I can remember. The quality and the performance are unmatched in this industry. PAG products are made by professionals for professionals. PAG understands how we work, and what we really need. For me the choice will always be PAG."

Centre frame: Jack Cardiff (Director of Photography).

Who better to have as DOP on the production that day than Oscar-winning cinematographer/cameraman Jack Cardiff OBE. Now in his 90s, Jack Cardiff has seven decades of experience on the other side of the camera, having worked on, and won awards for, some of the best loved films in cinema history ('The African Queen', 'The Black Narcissus' 'The Red Shoes').

Having recently used the Paglight on a production at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television, in Bradford, Jack Cardiff said:

" I love small front-lights and the Paglight is the best example I have ever seen."

PAG powers a Steadicam system, camera and Paglight PowerArc.

PAG Ltd. would like to thank Mr. Long for the exclusive insight into his latest production, and wish him the best of luck with what is sure to be a fascinating series.
