Event Videography Needed in Belgium
There will be an event in Brussels, Belgium sometime between April and July, and I want its atmosphere distilled into a vibrant highlight reel. The piece should feel documentary-driven—capturing genuine moments and natural sound. Because the exact format of the event is still being finalised, I’m counting on your flexibility. You may find yourself interviewing guests on the fly, shadowing key activities, or blending into the crowd to record spontaneous interactions. If jumping into the action to get the right angle excites you, we’ll work well together. I’ll confirm the date and time as soon as the venue is locked in; travel within Belgium will be covered. Let me know about your availability across April, May, June, and July so we can reserve the date.

Transcribe Handwritten Notes to Text
I have a collection of photographed handwritten notes that I’d like typed out into a clean, standard text file. The images include quick jottings, longer paragraphs, and a few bullet-style lists; none of them follow any strict layout, so there’s no need to reproduce the original look—just accurate wording and logical paragraph breaks. Because the material is strictly for my personal use, I’m not worried about scholarly citation styles or elaborate formatting. I simply need flawless spelling, correct punctuation, and every line captured so I can search and edit the content later. A straightforward Word document or UTF-8 plain-text file is perfect; if you prefer Google Docs, that works too. Attention to detail and respect for privacy are important, as some pages contain phone numbers and personal reflections. I will supply high-resolution JPGs and can clarify anything hard to read. Deliverable: • One editable text file containing the full transcription, proof-read and ready for me to archive and reference. If this sounds like a task you enjoy, let’s get started.

45 second narrated Animation Required.
We require a narrated animation to explain an industrial process. I have no graphics to supply so each element will have to be drawn from explainer photographs or diagrams. I will require hand holding as I have never commissioned an animation before. All advice welcome. The tone will need to be professional, not too quirky. The target audience is scientists. The whole animation needs to suggest a very controlled industrial environment. The animation will show a patented machine using sound waves to interface with and clean and clear graphite build up. Below is what we wish to achieve visually as a minimum 1. Our Company Logo on screen for approx 5 seconds 2. Images of sound waves working their magic - approx 10 seconds. 3. An image of our machine with a lance/hose attached (machine made to look a little more modern) - approx 10 seconds. 4. An image of a graphite stack and bricks being removed piece by piece - 10 seconds 5. An image of the nano microwaves (basically the same as above butmore of them/ working faster) The 45 second narration we wish to have his below. 'Amaryllis captures trapped value enabling graphite to be reclaimed. Our patented acoustic cleaning apparatus deploys multiple, low-frequency sound waves, avoiding all greenhouse gases, carbon and water. We deliver safely and with zero hours of operating failure. We have developed a floating extraction method which can remove graphite blocks, vastly improving cost and performance. Our system breaks the blocks through fluidisation, allowing the graphite to slide out using the correct frequencies and harmonics. We can generate up to 200 million nano micro waves every 4 hours which will break the graphite down' Amaryllis - reaching graphite safely and securely'

Freelance Architectural Draughtsperson
I am a London-based Town Planner currently transitioning into private practice and seeking to establish a small, reliable pool of freelance draughtspersons capable of producing accurate, scaled technical drawings for UK planning submissions. The work will primarily relate to permitted development (PD) schemes, including prior approval applications and certificates of lawfulness. The role is production-focused rather than design-led. You will be responsible for preparing planning-ready drawing packs based on structured information provided. All drawings must be accurately scaled (typically 1:50 or 1:100), clearly annotated, consistent in presentation, and suitable for validation by UK local planning authorities. You will be working from a combination of structured measurement data provided by homeowners under instruction, marked-up sketches and/or reference layouts, photographs of the property, AI-generated draft layouts where applicable, and clear written instructions and planner mark-ups. The ability to interpret and rationalise imperfect or incomplete input data is therefore essential. The scope of work will generally fall into two categories. For prior approval applications, the requirement will typically be limited to existing and proposed block plans. For certificates of lawfulness, a full drawing set will be required comprising existing and proposed ground and first floor plans, existing and proposed roof plan, existing and proposed front, rear and side elevations, and an existing and proposed long section. Applicants must have demonstrable experience producing UK-specific planning drawings and a clear understanding of existing versus proposed conventions, scaling standards, and annotation clarity within a residential context. Proficiency in AutoCAD or equivalent software is required. Experience with permitted development schemes and familiarity with local planning authority validation requirements would be highly advantageous. All work will be undertaken remotely. You will not be required to attend site, and all measurements will be provided. Your role is to accurately translate the information received into compliant drawing sets, which will be reviewed prior to submission. If this role is of interest, please provide relevant examples of UK planning drawings (including plans, elevations and sections), together with an indication of cost for both (a) a prior approval drawing pack (block plans only) and (b) a certificate of lawfulness drawing pack (full set as outlined above). Please also confirm your approximate turnaround time for each of these drawing types, the software you use, and your availability for ongoing work. As proposals will be taken forward on a national basis, there will be some degree of homeowner engagement in relation to providing measurements. Please confirm whether there is any additional information, verification, or safeguards you would typically require when working from homeowner-supplied data to ensure accuracy. Ongoing work is anticipated for the right candidate, subject to quality and reliability. I look forward to hearing from you.
