Thanks to Alvin Burrows for supplying us with this photo of his ingenious SkateCam mount for his 5D. It was used in the filming of the titles for UK's Channel 4 prime time show Beeny's Restoration Nightmare.

Beeny's Restoration Nightmare involves the British queen of TV property, Sarah Beeney trying to practice what she preaches in saving a Yorkshire stately home from ruin.

If you want to watch the complete title sequence and some of the ungraded rushes then take a look on Alvin's blog. This is what he had to say about the experience:

''Time was tight and I was working around just about every building trade you could think of, my extremely versatile and compact SkateCam and 5DMK2 made the job a pleasure to shoot. The light in the house was almost magical at times. Lenses used were the Canon 24-70f2.8L and 17-40f4L. I didn't use a Focus Rig, relying instead on a tape measure, a couple of bits of masking tape and a very light touch on the lens!''
