Updates and The Horses Tale
The Update Part
So after a relaxing weekend (although I did manage to sneak a bit of work in) there are a few things that need doing in preparation for the shoots in 14 days.
The first is to recce two locations to check whether they haven't been affected in their appearance. After the shock of seeing Hartley Witney change so much through the seasons it is very important that we go back to make sure everything is just dandy...to be honest I hope they are useless trips with no purpose, otherwise I’ll be franticly searching for a few new locations. There should be some use however; I’ll be taking Gary (Set Design) along with me to discuss additional set and props and then also everyone else to go through the Storyboard and shots needed. On one of the two dates (Golden Hinde and West Stow) we will be having a 2nd Unit, this means we will be having a two camera operation on two separate scenes that will be happening on the same location at the same time.
I must also make sure the document detailing the scenes to be shot in what order is correct, and make sure new documents are produced with the scene by scene set up and time of shooting for each day. This is the large part of the planning that everything else relates to so it's really important to get it right!
Finally, we're going to start doing Audio Podcasts (one hour radio shows) for the blog where we will be interviewing and discussing Roanoke with the actors, crew and various other members involved in the production. The aim is to release one 60 minute show per week until March, hopefully something to look forward to on the blog. Another job for today is to see who will agree to this, it's defiantly not something in the actors contracts.
And Finally
While the blog wiats for further production updates and photos from Roanoke, why not watch a completly and utterly butterly different production from some of the makers of Roanoke (Bertie Stephens, Daniel Shirley and George Thompson). Below is a 10 minute short claymation comedy entitled The Horses Tale. There is some connection, it is still a period drama, and although a comedy and made for a bit of fun, we'll chat soon about how it helped us create Roanoke (strangly enough)!
Let us know what you think!
