Today we chatted with Jack Leigh. Jack has been working in the video production industry for 12 years, involved in a variety of projects, from high-end film and TV productions like 'Fast and Furious 6', 'Peaky Blinders', and 'Last Tango in Halifax', to directing documentaries around the world in Africa, the US, and even the Arctic. For the last seven years, Jack has been leading a production company called Eight Engines, which produces commercial and marketing films, as well as broadcast and arts work.
One of the specialities of EIght engines is working with interviewees, especially those who have experienced intense trauma, to help them appear relaxed and authentic on camera. Since speaking on camera can be very challenging for our interviewees, Eight Engines devote significant time to coaching them, ensuring their authenticity throughout the process.
