Interviews Timelapse

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Tomorrow, we film our twentieth and final interview for the Montagu documentary.  Interviews are a very important part to telling a story because a nararator alone cannot tell the story effectively.  It is more believable and more alive when told from the people who actually were there to experience it first hand.  So, it’s just as equally important that the person being interviewed look and sound good on camera.  Prior to this trip, I spent several months researching and planning how we could quickly transform a room into a well lit and great sounding set for an interview.  Phillip and I put together this video to show a few of the many homes we transformed into a set.  I also added in some images of the actual interviews themselves so you can see the results!!

Boat Times at Beaulieu

Friday, May 29th, 2009

On our final day at Beaulieu, Lord Montagu took us out on his boat to ride the waves of the Beaulieu River. We had lunch, wine, and in the process did some video and photos….rough job! :) Lord M has always been extremely energetic and on-the-go his entire life, and at age 83 he is still the same. We took this opportunity to film some b-roll of him in his element. The river was BEAUTIFUL. Lord Montagu owns the river, and it is one of the only privately navigable owned river in the world! He owns the actual river bed, and that is truly unique. I collected some clips from our day out and quickly pieced them together for a little vid for you to enjoy!

As of a few days ago, we departed Bealieu and headed for London. We have several more interviews and other places to film including Oxford, Kent, the Westminster Abbey, and Parliament (where we have already filmed and I had an interesting run-in with the UK police…I’ll fill you in later about that!). I’ll be posting pics tomorrow or the next day showing our continued filming in London……we have some great surprises! Cheers!!
