March was a busy month for us. We completed the induction DVD for Northumberland County Council - 22 interviews, over 40 locations spread across 10 days. We filmed from Berwick on the Scottish border down to Newcastle with locations including the Baltic, Alnwick Gardens, a cattle market, schools, factories, mines, castles and in the shadow of St. James Park. The final programme was delivered in 21 sections, running in total for over 1 hour 30 minutes and supplied with and without subtitles. Here’s some highlights:

Meanwhile, Joe found time to head off to Tossa Del Mar in Spain for a week with a group of film students from Essex. Working as an industry expert, Joe mentored groups of students in the art of filming making.

Jon and Joe also directed and filmed East Riding Council’s BusWise DVD for Eon Media. This hard-hitting programme was co-written by Jon with Hull Truck’s Nick Lane, and is being edited at the moment.

JayJay also created all the on-screen content for the new Hull Truck Theatre’s foyer information screens. A mixture of graphics, clips of plays, rehearsal footage and glimpses behind the scenes is mixed with short programmes about their work with education, new play writing and the youth theatre. JayJay were also on hand at the gala opening nights – relying live footage to the screens throughout the theatre and also to the BBC Big Screen.
