The Making of our Promotional Film
 These
pictures give you some idea of how our film was made.
All those who were involved had an amazing weekend
carrying out the filming. For both Steve, my partner
(who took these photos), and myself it has been an
inspirational experience, not just in the production
but also seeing the end result, and we have both been
so proud to be involved. From watching Alex (Producer/Director, pictured above), and Dan (Producer, pictured third from last) of One Bit Media set up the equipment first thing one Saturday morning in June, to coaching the cast (none of whom had done anything like this before) and then ‘deroling’ them at the end of their scenes, to seeing the first cut (we were all completely blown away by the editing). I believe this experience is something none of us will ever forget.  Alex
is the son of the Centre Director and also an ex
pupil of Parkside, who went on to study Film and TV
production at Westminster University. We were
absolutely delighted – when we approached the
Parkside Federation to ask for their help with
finding cast members – to find that they embraced the
challenge and were very keen to support their ex
pupil. The Head of Drama and 2 pupils feature in the
film. It
was incredibly heartwarming to witness how everyone
gave their time and energy so freely to Relate
Cambridge and to support this project – and it made
the whole experience feel like a true a labour of
love. Elaine Taylor |
