After all the scriptwriting, auditions, rehearsals and workshops, the camera's are ready to roll for “Dr A.D. Holmes”! Last Sunday Madeleine was busy rehearsing the actors in the Gate Theatre. AD Holmes director, Beth was being pulled between rehearsals and our production nerve centre were production co-ordinators Duncan and Jo were working with our young production assistants on call sheets, risk assessments and other pre-production work and working with our film crew on the ins and outs of our incredibly cool and retro Super8 film cameras.
I was busy working with our art department who have been producing an army of cockroaches and huge placards for the street demonstration. My art apprentice, Debbie was busy designing beautiful title cards amongst a myriad of other jobs. On top of all the work on AD Holmes, Tom was busy demonstrating his watercolour talents for a painting for “The Lost Princess“ and Samantha is working flat out on her very own drawn animated sequence for the end of the film.
Councillor Brian Rust has been indispensable in helping us find locations for filming. Duncan and Jo are doing an incredible job behind the scenes this week making sure everything comes together in time for the shoot with Nicola Dixon at Goole Town Council. Director Peter Kershaw is back from feature film work in Greece and ready to work with our crew for the entire shoot!
We are hoping for sunshine for location filming around Old Goole! The rain has been torrential the last few weekends. (At least we have an underwater camera if the heavens open!)But don’t let the fear of a few drops of rain put you off joining our team of extras this weekend. It’s going to be quite an experience and we want as many people as we can get! If you’d like to be join us, email goolesilentmovie@hotmail.com.
