Clive North’s CV
Over the past 30 years UK lighting cameraman Clive North has firmly established himself in the field of documentary filming for television.
From the delights of being 
Keith Floyd’s cameraman over several series (“Back to me please, Clive!”) to 100 drama-reconstructions for BBC’s ‘999’, several ‘Q.E.Ds, ‘Living Proofs’ and ‘Horizons’ also for the BBC, it was in 1998 that the opportunity arose to work with series producer David Sington and director Danielle Peck on what became the award winning BBC/TLC series on the geological history of the planet - ‘Earth Story’.
David Sington subsequently set up his own production company in London, Dox Productions, and Clive went on to shoot more science programming there including David’s ‘Project Poltergeist’, ‘Dimming the Sun’ and ‘Nuclear Nightmare’ contributions to the BBC’s flagship science strand ‘Horizon’.
Working also with Dox’s Duncan Copp, Clive filmed ‘The Rocket Men of Mission 105’, following the intense training of a Shuttle crew at NASA. This turned out to be a precursor to one of the most satisfying documentaries in Clive’s career to date – the recording, in high-definition, of a series of intimate, in-depth interviews with 10 of the surviving 11 Apollo astronauts who walked on the moon.
This became ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’ a 110minute feature-length documentary and winner of the Audience World Cinema Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007. The film went on to receive a series of awards and much critical aclaim before going on limited general release in the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia prior to TV broadcast.
As a consequence Discovery Science HD commissioned a series documenting the work of the designers and engineers of the Apollo project. This took Clive back to the US for an extended period in late 2007 to shoot the 65 interviews and background material needed for the programmes. 'Moon Machines' is due to be broadcast in June 2008.
