David Kenard

mat — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 00:35:40 +0000

If I ever had to name one hero, it would be David. David is a passionate and caring shepherd who has become a showman, author and filmmaker to sustain his life looking after his sheep with his beloved dogs. David is the shepherd featured in ONEDAY.

His film and TV series about Mist the sheep dog not only pays homage to the genre that Johnnie Morris created back in the 60’s but David and his team have extend this to create beautifully crafted narratives that adults and children love. Forget CGI this is master story telling, all filmed on and around the wonderful Morte point and Woolacombe

I have helped David out with filming some of the scenes for his latest series; this included a mock up of a cliff rescue featuring a flock of sheep in the shape of an arrow to direct a Sea King helicopter!

Reel Life: Saturdays in Film & Sound

mat — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 00:31:07 +0000

We are proud to have NOTCALIFORNIA archived by Screen Archive South East and some clips used on the ‘Reel Life’ project and made available for education use. The ‘Reel Life’ DVD was initiated and funded as part of the British Library’s Reaching the Regions initiative, in partnership with the Screen Archive South East (formerly South East Film & Video Archive) and the Wessex Film & Sound Archive.

This DVD provides a fascinating glimpse into Saturday afternoons of the last 100 years through examples of films and sound interviews held in public archives. All the material is grouped into six themes: leisure, families, seaside, street life, on the land, parades and festivals.

Chucklefoot & Stompie

mat — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:13:49 +0000

I first met Chucklefoot and Stompie at the Pilton Green Man Festival 2005. I adore what they do and the way they do it. They draw on so many nearly forgotten skills and genres, bringing them together creating something so entertaining and really unique. They have kindly allowed me to film them for the ONEDAY project.

Skelly has been involved in the ONEDAY project since 2005. As well as surfing in the movie, he will play the credits out with his English concertina. He has being studying this instrument for less than a year but is already quite a virtuoso, having worked his way through a pile of books of traditional music scores. Thanks to Russ Pierre for the photo of Skelly & Sam.

musical projects

mat — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:57:47 +0000

We have been commissioning music since 2001 as we hugely enjoy the collaboration and the creative opportunities it provides for editing.

We hope to use this area to share some of the music we are using in our project work and are kicking it off with some Cornish, Irish and Devonshire traditional music played by Skelly who is studying the English concertina. We are also looking to find some traditional North Devon music to use in other projects, so watch this space for more songs. In the meantime, please contact us if you have know of any music that isn’t in the public domain.

If you think wavedreamer would be a suitable companion on your own musical journey , please contact wavedreamer here.

He has written and performed the music for ONEDAY and with his Band Bowlrider three of the tracks on notcalifornia.

The British Surf Museum

mat — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:50:40 +0000

We were one of the founding sponsors of The British Surf Museum. It is a real and vast collection and an online resource. Conceived, researched and run by Peter Robinson using his experience as an investigative journalist, he has set himself the task of writing and documenting the history of surfing in the UK.

His tireless search means there is something to surprise and entertain everyone. Also, the collection should soon have a permanent home that you can visit in person.

LOVE SURFING

mat — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:46:16 +0000

This DVD is primarily aimed at people who have no experience of surfing but may have thought about having lessons. It doesn’t intend to replace lessons but offer support and encouragement to enable people to get more out of their time in the water.

It is also designed for people with some experience in the water, it offers some knowledge and the routes to learning more that will bring their surfing on in leaps and bounds.

In each of the 4 lessons there is a whole section on safety with a constant theme of care and caution and an emphasis on incremental experience and knowledge building running throughout the content.
