Network Rail / You vs Train: Harrison Ballantyne’s story

Role: Location Sound Recordist
Director: Chris Fowels 
Production Company: Storycatchers

On June 27 2017, 11-year old Harrison Ballantyne was out playing with his friends when he was hit by 25,000 volts of electricity at a rail freight depot. There was nothing his friends and paramedics could do to save him, and Harrison died at the scene. It was a privilege and an honour to work with everyone involved on this campagign which since running has reduced child trespass by 62%.

Shot in a commercial format this was a scripted piece that brought to life the story and reliability of the events of what seemed like just a normal day for Harrison.
