Making 'Frank'

Once again, we were permitted by the Spa Valley Railway, to use one of their stations, and after an evening of rehearsal, we were all set to begin our filming.

We all collectively met at the station, ran through who would be positioned where and also where the camera was to be set up.

Down on the line and over on to the embankment, we carried the camera, monitor and our Director!

Our two actors arrived and the fun began. We had an hilarious time.

At one point as can be seen from the photographs, our filming crew had to position themselves on the actual line itself, what lengths we will go to, to get just the best for our filming.

Trains arrived and departed at the station, passengers on the train looked on in amazement wondering what filming was going on and our actors repeated their lines over and over, until that all important phrase could be heard ‘it’s a wrap!’

We now look forward to seeing our film and sharing it with others at future competitions.
