THE SLEEPING BEAUTY - December 2007

"He's behind you - oh no he isn't!" Panto season again, bringing with it the usual series of challenges: preparation of high-quality pre-recorded VT for the interval features, observation and script preparation culminating in a series of live-mixed multi-camera webcasts of a complex theatrical production (inlcuding live interviews during the interval for the benefit of the TV audience watching "live" on the web).

Hasan writes: " At the beginning of the assignment I felt as though it was something that could not be done in the time period we where given, however with the class working as a group we managed to pull it off. I remember as the countdown to the first show of the panto began, there was such a buzz all around the auditorium, from the actors to the make up crew to us. It didn't bother me that we had early call times and late nights, it was such a blast. at the end of it you can't help but quote one liners from the show, it's the curse that comes from a week of pantomime!"
