@rubyeyelashes Yes. mattfpictures

@MattJF I shall miss tweeting with you on here are you on Instagram?

Just a quick tweet to say thanks to all those I’ve interacted with on this platform over the years. It used to be a great place to exchange ideas and experiences. Sadly it’s not like that now. I remember some great times live-tweeting #BehindTheScenes in my TV career. Thanks all!

@housely And you Yvonne.

@MattJF An age since you’ve appeared on my timeline. I totally agree with what you’re saying. It is sad. Best wishes to you and your family.

@itsmesharney Just Instagram. Thanks for being lovely.

@MattJF Where you headed next? Because I’ll still be there to annoy you, you know, and champion you as usual! :D

@JAMESMARTlN James, you’re a diamond. You on Instagram?

@MattJF Those were the days, Matt. Great days. I hope you are doing ok.

@MichaelBoltonA @thetvroom 🙄

@thetvroom For our largest commercial broadcaster it looks pitiful

🟦 CLEAN FEED | ITV Lunchtime News has been based in the small studio since last week, as updates to the main studio continue ahead of January's on air changes. Currently: - No voiceover intro at start. - Restrictions on wide shots. - No theme tune at end.

I’m sorry. Large sensor/shallow depth of field for a select cameras only in sport doesn’t work. It’s incongruous, draws attention to the shot, and frankly, too often out of focus.

@SimonBeale @Heart80s Morning Simon - hope you’re well. Just listening to T’Pau and still have my 7” vinyl copy of that. How did sax solos stop becoming a thing? The 80s was the best decade for those!

@HMRCcustomers @HMRCgovuk Will someone please help me? I submitted my SA return a month ago and still it hasn’t been processed with my liability figures currently “nil”. I’ve called 3 times and got cut off or duff information each time. I owe you money and I’m trying to pay it!

@RDwyer52114 @tombradby @FayeBarker Sorry. Not working there today!

@MattJF who will be on standby on news at ten in studio while @tombradby in Washington. Is @FayeBarker

@SimonBeale Loving the tunes this morning, Simon!

I’m out. #Whamaggedon

I’m making what used to be solely a photography @instagram account into a combined photography, camera and television directing account. Do give me a follow if that appeals in any way. #Director #CameraOperator #Photographer #BehindTheScenes instagram.com/mattfpictures

Thanks to all the production companies, broadcasters and programmes I’ve been privileged to work with in 2024, and the kind teams and individuals who gave me an opportunity, took a risk on me, or just kept booking me this year. Here’s to 2025! #TelevisionDirector

First job of the day: give the steeping Christmas sloe gin a gentle agitation.

They asked for her direct mobile number. I refused to give it to them and told them that’s not how the law (or responsible parenting) works. All we wanted to do was book an appointment. Trying to book a doctor’s appointment in the UK is next to impossible. Astonishing. 2/

Broken @NHS: our doctor’s surgery will not speak to us about our 15 year-old daughter as she hasn’t given them permission to do so. I said she’s a minor and you can deal with us, her parents. They said a child over 11 must give permission. 1/

On location in Reading ahead of a corporate livestream tomorrow with the lovely folks at @MoleDigital. Looking forward to it! #Director

Well #IACGMOOH are not using the standard ITV credit font. Odd.
