Filming Permit

Right, so I've just been on the phone (3 times!) to Heathrow Media Centre (ooooh, get you!) to arrange a filming permit for the RAID group when they fly on Sunday. Regulations are as follows: no filming near check in, security or bomb disposal squads; carry the pass at all times; and no eating near expensive filming equipment!
That's just about what they said, anyway...
So that's sorted then. So for tomorrow - Good luck, guys! Have a fantastic time, and we'll be thinking of you!

Fancy a Dance pics

Bit of a retrospective post here, with some pics of the group sweating away, filming in the sun at the Tea Dance in the market square. We got hot and hungry, but the fry-up afterwards made up for it!
Some good footage got, I think, and now the task is to try and find an order and rhythm to edit it together to.
Here's the evidence of our slavery...

It's My Life

Yes, that's right! Yet more filming practice was undertaken this week by us lot, when we all piled into the Arts Centre and worked with a group of children and young people who were on a scriptwriting course.
Specially comissioned as well! Getting some money out of this hopefully, as well as practice and recognition.
So! The idea was that a load of children would write scripts about their (or somebody else's) lives, and then we'd all come in and help them edit the writing for film. Yesterday and today we actually shot the parts for three short films about ghosts, vampires, dragons and winged demons (and tarot cards, fake blood and really dramatic makeup), and we'll be editing them together next week. The films will be made into DVDs for kids and parents, and RAID and the Media Group will be credited. Which is nice!
Time for some photos then?



Our new director, Adam:






Lovely!

After Fancy a Dance!

Well we made it though a day of music, dancing and old women! we got some cool stuff which we are in the process of editing now. There were loads of cute little old men that i sooo wanted to take home in my pocket, but Darren wouldn't let me go play! Oh well, theres always next time. As soon as we get the stuff finished off we will post it for you to have a giggle at!

Luv ya!

Fancy a Dance

Today we are going to film some golden oldies dancing. We need the practice at some real life situations and thought this to be the perfect oppurtunity to get some good footage, if the weather stays good. We will post another blog when we get back, wish us luck.
