"Filming the sun, using the sun" – it doesn't get much more meta than that.

Panasonic Australia trainer and all-round good guy Scott Mellish tried his hand at TV news journalism this week up at Port Douglas for the solar eclipse.

Not only did UnderCurrent enjoy Scott's reporting of the eclipse, it also appreciated the unintential eclipse caused by his audacious yellow t-shirt.

So impressed was UnderCurrent by Scott's work, and taking into account the dire state of TV news currently, he could be up for a Walkley!
