A Weekend With Fens

As promised more about the weekend. Jack Marshall is reaching the final stages of his short Intruder and on Sunday the music for the film was being recorded at Witchford near Ely, Cambridgeshire. This was an elaborate affair with an 18 piece orchestra, sound recordest and camera team (for the "making of"). My wife and I decided to make a weekend of it so on Saturday we "did" Ely, including the cathedral by day and a concert in the evening (Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah). Sunday morning we were on the Fens at Wicken Nature Reserve and PM, into the early evening, helping Jack with the camera work at the music recording. I was extremely impressed by the professionalism of the conductor, sound engineer and orchestra who had all given up their day for the love of it… And now I must get back to Babbage draft II! Oh, and as a taster, below are some of the impressions of the events, enjoy.

Be Part Of The Miracle!!

Charles Babbage Plus

On Friday I met with Trevor & Claire (Frame On Frame) to discuss the exploratory Babbage script (i.e. draft I) for their feature to be filmed next year. After four hours plus of hammering out the ideas and requirements for the next draft I had a pretty good idea of the way ahead and have already started work. However, I got no further than page 4 before a busy weekend started. More on this to come as it involved a B&B at Witchford, recording the music for Jack Marshall’s short Intruder, a tour and concert at Ely Cathedral, a walk along the Cam, a visit to a nature reserve on the Fens and the collection of the final edit of my short AQOC.
