Yesterday we met with Simon Ayres to discuss our project and show him our ideas. We told him what we wanted to produce (ident for cinema, tip of the day videos, videos for menu). He told us what he wanted to portray in the video, how he wanted to show himself and which areas of the cafe bar were the most important to him. He was really nice and we all really enjoyed meeting him. He was very enthusiastic about doing the videos and helping us develop the ideas for the videos.
He said that he wanted the videos to be as professional as possible and that he wanted a lot of focus to be on the teaching aspect of the kitchen. He seemed up for some fun and we realised that we would not be able to storyboard or script the videos and that we would just capture what was happening in the kitchen and use editing to tell the stories.
Vanessa from the Showroom also attended the meeting and was really happy with how everything went and what we talked about.
We decided that shooting will take place in 2 weeks ( the first week of the Easter holidays) as this is when Simon can give us the most time.
Simon took us into the kitchen so we could see the environment we would be shooting in. We are going back down next week with a camera to see if we will need lighting, although we are hoping to get away with as little extra lighting as possible as we dont have the room for a lot of equipment in the kitchen.
Elliott and Ross decided they wanted tutor Ken Grint involved in the shoot to help with lighting, but the rest of the group felt we were capable of lighting on our own and we didn't want another crew member on the shoot. However we have come to a compromise that we will ask Ken's advice on lighting a kitchen, and he can come to the trial set up next week if he wants to advise us, but he will not attend the shoot.
Between now and the shoot in 2 weeks, between the group and Simon we will decide what dishes and techniques Simon wants to show in the videos, so when we get down there everyone knows what we are shooting.
We are really looking forward to the shoot and think it will be a lot of fun!
