| The final shot - filmed indoors at the Bradford Playhouse, can you believe! |
We finished yesterday afternoon in Bradford. We had to move very quickly as there was no mains power at the location, and my 2 camera batteries only have about 100 minutes each. Thus, we captured an incredible 80 shots in 3 and a half hours, which is madness, but a testament to the professionalism of my lovely cast and crew.
I'd like to offer my thanks, therefore, to the following - in no particular order:
Rose Nadin-Pummell (my mum!) and Sarah Skerratt - for letting us film in their home, for their patience, and for all the food and drink they laid on.
Nicole Skerratt and James Billingham - for letting us film in their home, and for being so nice about my ridiculously early arrivals!
Allan Robinson - for welcoming us into his shop, (Discount Stationery in Otley), for a wacky evening shoot.
Doug Thompson - for letting us film at the Bradford Playhouse, three weeks on the trot.
The members of the Bridge Church in Otley - for letting us film in their sanctuary.
Kenneth Barker - of Water on the Rock fame, for the loan of his tripod, and the copious amounts of moral support and encouragement.
Phil Skerratt (me father!) and Sara - for putting up with my antisocial hours, as well as my mood swings.
Adam Cooper - for being a fantastic 'stunt double' and cameraman.
Richard Cooper - for co-creating the whole thing.
Mike Thackray - for juggling production assistant / acting responsibilities so deftly.
Mark Pearson - for chipping in with camera duties.
Waleed Khalid - for being such a calming influence on the set, (and for actually being on the set - so lucky to have him.)
Hannah Robson - for sticking with us for so many shoots, and for being everything I wanted Sadie to be, and more.
Vicki Glover - for stepping in at the last minute and making me question why I didn't cast her in the first place.
Alissa Juvan - another last minute life-saver, who took an extra role with a mere 2 days notice!
Helen West - the third life-saver, and a very talented performer. Thank you!
Nick Blackshaw - a true theatre pro... thank you for being undeterred by the bizareness of out-of-sequence shooting.
Ken Boyter - for all the creative input, and for travelling 3+ hours for each shoot, sometimes for just a couple of scenes. Truly inspiring.
Alex Hewitson - for being so commited and enthusiastic from day 1 and before.
Sam Chipman - for being so flexible and patient. He was with us for one of our toughest shoots, and nothing seemed to faze him.
I hope I haven't missed anyone! It's been a crazy few weeks so my apologies if your name isn't on here, (you're probably one of the most important, but don't take it personally - for one of the shoots I very nearly forgot the camera!!)
Stay tuned for more updates.
