An impromptu Recce

We had a few hours ineptness some work with Roanoke and Jenna, Dan and I decided to take another impromptu Recce to the Golden Hinde in London. With all the shots and scenes in order it is about time to start the initial birds eye story board (that's a story board looking down, rather than a frozen food style storyboard) of the Winter Shoots.

The Golden Hinde was one of the first locations that got the ball rolling for Roanoke. Without an authetic longboat it would be very hard to recreate any situations that would be presented within the production. Although Harltey Witney and Golden Hinde were the two locations that got us going, it seems only the later will feature within the production due to a re-recce proving Hartley Whitney to be slightly....Well...Not fit for shooting...

As you can see from the image below, the buildings surrounding the Golden Hinde won't be the best scenery for an "out at sea" shot. Luckily thanks to camera trickery and a number of vital angles and equations (along with some clever sound editing) all this shouldn't matter.



The insides are perfect however - enough said.

Sunday see's the start of storyboarding madness, so we'll see how that goes!
