ABSTRACT
When I was offered The Queen’s Nose I initially said ‘no thank you’. I had liked the script very much (it was from a book by Dick King Smith, he of Babe fame) so I was not against the project for that reason but I did not want to go straight onto another tape project as I was currently shooting a series on analogue video and was not enjoying that medium very much. I was also discouraged by the fact that the director wanted to use an operator who did his own focus pulling, not, at that time, my style at all.
