Interpretation - Draft Movie

No physical work at the chapel again today, but all through the program there has been work going on in the background to interpret the history of the chapel. Some of that work has been to bring you a daily diary of the physical building works through this Blog and the Friends of George Street Facebook page.

There has been steady work carried out uncover more documentary evidence about the chapel, its tenants and those who worshipped there - and to pull together all the information to create an introductory video for visitors to the chapel and an accompanying book.

A draft of the movie is available for a short time on Youtube - click the link to be taken there. If it is not working it is because the video has expired and time for comments has passed. The video was edited to take into account comments. Revised version no won line until 7 March, 2014.



The video is being created by Julian Baum and Claire Lavall at Take 27 and researchers Andrew and Annelise Fielding with substantial support provided by the photographs of Peter Langley and the documentary research of Gail and Roy Lees. The link is to an 8 minute draft video so we can see all the sections we need to include and get the pace and content right. Already we can see that the movie needs to be extended to about 10 minutes.

There will be additional pictures and a narration over the top. There will be a book which will contain everything in greater detail, telling the story of construction, life, worship, decay and restoration at George Street Chapel.

Please have a look at this draft and pass back any comments you might have.

I know this is difficult as it is not finished and you may not have a complete a knowledge of the chapel and its history. However I am sure you realise that the movie can only be a snapshot of the chapel's 200 years life and those who lived and worshipped there - encapsulated in 10 minutes.

There will be two other shorter sections as stand alone movies to cover the cellar dwellings and worship in the chapel 

The link will only be online for two days, as it is only work in progress and we would not want it to be widely circulated. It is a means to getting to the finished movie.

Please email Andrew Fielding with any comments you may have and say that you saw the draft via this Blog site.    To    aandafieldingltd@gmail.com
