About Two Stops Over with Vance Burberry and Nigel Dick
TWO STOPS OVER is a podcast about filmmaking with two ruffians, director Nigel Dick and cinematographer Vance Burberry ASC, ACS. They have travelled the world together and independently, shooting hundreds and hundreds of music videos, movies and commercials and, in Vance's case, a lot of fish. Drawing from their film-making experiences over the last three decades these two mischief-makers will interrogate, question and cross-examine a different guest on each episode in their efforts to establish final closure on the time Vance tried to blow off Nigel's leg with a bag of fireworks during a location scout. Guests will include a wide array of reputable peers and friends working in the industry and at least one rock n’ roller who has had it with music videos. Our hosts are based in Los Angeles and, although one is technically a Brit and the other is technically an Aussie, it is hoped that some useful film-making tips and interesting behind-the-scenes gossip will be shared, not to mention passionate discussions about whether the craft service table should include Marmite or Vegemite. You have been warned - and so have their future guests!
Two Stops Over is produced by Milktmade.

Deep Dark Secret, Back to Work, and the Guy That Did That Britney Video (w/ Guest Jonathan Silverman)
Founding partner of artist agency Intrinsic, Jonathan Silverman sheds some light on some of the misconceptions people have about agents and what they do. He delves deep into Vance & Nigel’s pressing questions exploring the right time to get an agent, staying on good terms with everyone, and his thoughts on big agencies vs. boutique agencies.

Nigel reacts to Vance recalling shooting Propaganda Films promos for David Fincher. Britney Spears gives Nigel a shout-out in her new memoir “The Woman in Me” for directing her breakout music video, “…Baby One More Time,” the first of four Nigel directs for Britney, including “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” which Vance shot.

Netflix docuseries “Tour de France: Unchained” filmmakers, EP & Showrunner Ameila Hann and Director Jamie Batten, join Vance & Nigel to discuss the unique logistical challenges of capturing such a complex and demanding sport, and how they used the “inbuilt drama” of the Tour as a narrative foundation to tell real human stories.
