The other question is what are the best RED rental houses in London I guess...

Word of advice when working for bbc directly. They will not insure your kit. If you are working through a production company, they will have to get their own insurance, otherwise you will have to cover the insurance yourself. They never insure kit on shoots, unless it is a category 1 war zone.........

I may be going to Sudan to assist/shoot on a documentary for BBC Panorama

i as well....should be sometime this winter.(as well as guatemala and nicaragua.....not for BBC mind you)
my biggest concern was security....

i have to come up with a strategy for backing up data/and using a courier to get a copy out of the country ect
we also were looking as an EX for b-roll, and if the Red dies or is stolen....a complete backup

I heard of some guys filming in south america that had some experiences getting robbed by the local rebels....so the next time they went they took a pickup with a canopy over it and inside the truck bed they poured diesel and milk and let it all rot and stink up....they did get robbed again i gather but when they opened that back it was so disgusting that they left all the equipement alone.
