Pamela has also produced a video profiling the research and outputs of the 2016 Understanding British Portraits fellows. This project involved location shooting of interview and B-roll content at The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton and The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery, University of Leeds.
The client says: "We had a limited budget and timescale for the production of the video with Anna Moore. Pamela managed the project with immense professionalism and ingenuity. The video was very well received by the Network’s professional membership and my National Portrait Gallery colleagues. On the strength of this excellent work, I engaged Pamela for a larger project, to focus on the outputs of our four Research Fellows.
For both projects, Pamela was consistently proactive in applying her broad creative experience in meeting our needs. Pamela’s professionalism ensured that our (sometimes first-time) interviewees were put at ease before and during the filming, As I’ve also worked with other filmmakers for our media requirements, I know that such levels of experience, commitment to a project through all its stages, and quality of work are not to be taken for granted."

AUDIO SOUNDSCAPE: Anish Kapoor's ArcelorMittal Orbit, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Client: ArcelorMittal Orbit Visitor Experience, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London
Producer / Sound Designer / Editor
Producer / Sound Designer / Editor

Conceptualisation, sound design and editing of 30 different audio portraits of iconic locations surrounding Anish Kapoor's sculpture the ArcelorMittal Orbit. Each of the 40-second audio loop portraits is played at a different position on the 400-step stairwell; as visitors descend from the Orbit's viewing platform, they walk through a soundscape evocation of locations such as Columbia Road Flower Market, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Mudchute Farm, Whitechapel Bell Foundry and The Olympic Park's Velodrome. The creation of the audio portraits involved custom recording and careful composition of the most evocative sounds captured at each site. The visitor's imagination is inspired to envision key locations that surround the Orbit. The launch of the soundscape coincided with the opening day of the Orbit as a visitor attraction in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The Soundscape received a nomination for Audio Installation of the Year in the 2014 AV Awards. |

Video produced by Saville Audio Visual, who were responsible for the hardware and installation for the project.
The client says: "We were impressed with Pamela’s creativity and her ability to overcome obstacles. Obtaining access to make the recordings and sourcing some of the archival materials were incredibly challenging. But Pamela always seemed to find a way to get the piece we were after. Following the attraction’s re-opening, we conducted a comprehensive review of visitor feedback. The soundscape Pamela created for us was the most consistently mentioned and praised element of the interpretation by far."
