“I had the pleasure of working with Robert Foster on a Jim’ll Fix It special for the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival. He was a highly professional and efficient cameraman. Robert was also great fun and had superb people skills. He had a nice balance of being clear but firm and imaginative, but delivered his direction with levity. It was a pleasure to work with him and I hope I will be able to do so again in the very near future. I cannot commend him highly enough.”
Dawn Airey, Chairman and Chief Executive, Channel 5
“Robert Foster is an exceptional cameraman, particularly in his instinctive and creative approach to ‘fly-on-the-wall’ situations. Robert has the immediate ability to gel with the subject to be filmed, which always allows for a seamless transition from first meeting to the process of filming. He also has that much appreciated quality of being able to merge into the background of a situation whilst capturing all that is going on around him.”
Ross Wilson, Creative Director, Matchlight Scotland
“Robert and his team were absolutely invaluable to our production. Without their dedication and ‘up for it’ attitude we would never have been able to fit all our filming requirements into the time we had. Robert’s eye for detail, both in his camera work and the running of his business makes him an absolute pleasure to work with. His artistic eye and creativity even made a sewage farm look beautiful! I would recommend Broadcast Facilities to anyone without hesitation.”
Lauren Nash, Producer, Bladonmore
“Robert…The Frontline video we worked on together turned out excellent. The lighting you did on the interviews was beautiful. The entire video was a wonderful success. My client was very happy. I really enjoyed working with you as usual, and when my next adventure brings me your way know that we will be working together again.”
Gordon Green, Executive Producer, IBM Digital Services, USA
“Robert Foster and Broadcast Television Facilities have worked alongside the award-winning Producer/Director, Ross Wilson, both with Scottish Television and Wark Clements (now IWC Media), making factual documentaries over the past eleven years. Crewing and equipment hire have never given any cause for concern whether filming in the UK or abroad.”
Lynda McCaig, Production Manager, IWC Media
“Can you please thank Robert Foster for doing a fantastic job on our shoot in the Lake District for Teachers’ TV. I’ve just had my viewing with the commissioner Paul Ashton and he loved the programme.”
Lucy Thwaite, Producer/Director
“I have always found Robert an immensely creative and supportive lighting cameraman, dedicated both to bringing craft and artistry to his work as well as being loyal and dedicated member of the production team.”
Tim Tate, Producer/Director, Interesting Film Co
“Biography: Harold Shipman – The Doctor of Death turned out very well and we got lots of praise from the Chicago bosses and also the Arts & Entertainment honchos, one of whom praised our program as having the best production values of all the nine “serial killer” shows produced by Towers Productions. No small part of that is due to your stellar contributions.”
Stuart Cleland, Producer, Towers Productions, Chicago
“At Towers Productions, we work with more than a hundred crews each year and when one takes the time to go above and beyond, such as BTF, we notice.”
Josh Gershenson, Asst Producer, Towers Productions
