Cowslip Sunday 2012 - first 'play' rehearsal March 11 from alex mckenzie on Vimeo.
Yesterday was the first rehearsal for this year's Cowslip Sunday play – 'Lambley Jack and the Golden Stockings'. This rehearsal took place in Lambley Parish Church – because the Village Hall was otherwise engaged.
I filmed the occasion – and have perhaps one and half hours of film to work with. It may be that none of this footage ends up in the final film – though I think it likely that a few minutes will find their way in.
Although the film I'm making isn't about the play, I think that the play will provide a nice focal point for the film. This footage allows us to meet our players more informally. In the chronology of the film I envisage that the viewer will have already seen the actors on stage at the performance on May 6th – the film will then cut away to January 1st and the days and weeks that follow – leading up to Spring.
This footage should give a little insight into the preparation that went into the events of Cowslip Sunday.
Here I have simply strung together three pieces of footage (edited from longer extracts) just to give a glimpse of the content I'm working with.
