No Pasaran! Organising the Filming

For the last few weeks it has been my job to organise the filming day in the New Forest, and what seemed like a pretty straightforward task has turned into a challenge! After finally getting in contact with the people that I needed to speak to - via 8 email referrals and two phone calls - it is currently under debate of whether they will permit the filming to be done on their land as it is a battle scene. With this in mind, I have felt it practical, and the organiser Roy Gaynor agrees, that contingency planning is a necessity.

 

From there I began to contact the councils to see if there was alternative land that we could use and after a few days I have been given a couple of promising pottential alternatives! Now, with the requests sent it is a matter of waiting to see if either of the companies involved will be willing to allow us to use their land.

However I have found and booked our camera man and through co-ordinating the different members of our team our equiptment organisation is well under way, the actors have confirmed attendance with Roy and now we just need our location.
