So the performance licenses have all been approved for the Creation Crew Kids, Betsy Bella and Flossie. This means they can work on and off set, and even take occasional half days off school for narration and voice over work.
Did you notice that Early Bird and Dora Mouse are voice by Betsy and Bella respectively?
It's going to be a busy day today, we have 13 VT's to film for the 'Through the Window" sections, and we're hoping to get two of them filmed in one day today.
These are filmed in and around Creation Crew HQ using an ordinary good quality handy-cam. It's shot in full HD at 60 fps, but it's quite a straightforward home use type camera. Clearly there is a lot of top-end equipment available, but the handy-cam feel is quite intimate, it's convenient and gives a quick and easy results lending an un-contrived dynamism to these sections.
We want a complete change of atmosphere, and a break from the studio pace.
This approach to film making has also meant that the VTs are as close to a genuine experience for the girls as possible. While they do take some direction such as 'Can you just do that again" or 'Wait for me to get ahead so I can film you coming towards the camera." or 'Put the boat in the water when I say go." all of the VTs do involve the children genuinely enjoying an activity which is a lot of fun for them.
In case you were wondering, VT stands for video tape, you may have heard people on TV saying 'roll vt" at which point a previously made film plays. So we call them VTs.
