This past week has been awesome and very draining. We have been filming so many spectacular sights (ex.-wild horses running along the beach, a landscape of yellow flowers with the sun setting in the distance, amazingly lush gardens, old ruins and monuments….etc) and in between we have filmed thirteen interviews. Filming interviews is a time consuming and very thoughtful process. Everything has to look great, sound great, and then the content delivered from the interviewee has to be great for it all to work and be effective for the film. For this documentary, we have a total of seventeen interviews……that’s a lot of time and a ton of questions! It has been a challenge to step back in time to the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s and ask questions that would reveal something new for this documentary, but as I review the footage each night I’ve been very pleased with the results. I’ve been fascinated by the stories and rich history being unfolded on camera.

I’ve posted pictures of our work behind the scenes and the sights we have been lucky enough to enjoy each day. I hope you too enjoy these images. This place is beautiful and as one of the people I interviewed put it, “Beaulieu is timeless….and Lord Montagu has kept it that way”. Enjoy PS – Phillip and I head to London tomorrow for another week of filming. I’ll try to post more often…..I’ve been a tad tired as of late
