Scudamore's

Some hate broccoli, some hate bacon,
I hate having my picture taken.

Waiting for the Birdie ~ Ogden Nash

Cambridge is photogenic and loves having its picture taken! Each year we supply craft and logistical expertise to a range of media projects; a selection of the most recent are summarised below.

Please contact us for further details about our filming and photographic services.

Film
Elizabeth: The Golden Age	For two rainy days in May 2006 the River Cam became the Thames of Queen Elizabeth I's day, complete with a royal barge, and not a punt in sight. Scudamore's were on hand to supply punt marshals to ensure that random punters and canoeists didn't wander into shot as the cameras rolled. The film, starring Cate Blanchett as the eponymous heroine, was released in late 2007.

Television
McDonalds	The new McFluffy Cornetto ad was filmed using a Scudamore's punt.
Kingdom	An episode for the second season of Stephen Fry's comedy drama series was filmed in Cambridge in September 2007. Punts and logistical support courtesy of Scudamore's.
Natwest	The 2007 Natwest student accounts television ad was filmed on the Cam in late June 2007 using Scudamore's punts.
