We have finally received confirmation to use the church yard. At first we were told there were no objections but we failed to receive another email from the vicar confirming this. We had our hearts set on using this location so we needed to persevere and email again in an attempt to use the church. After a long and anxious wait we finally had the confirmation email from the vicar.
We are very happy with the fact we can use the church and look forward to filming there soon. Stay active around my blog for more quick updates like this one!

Hello Luke,

Just heard from the Vicar that he has no objection. Let me know when you would like to film and we will be there to let you in. The stairs are quite narrow. Difficult to get large bits of kit to the top of the tower.

Sorry for the delay,

Pam Elliston

Hello,

I’m following up on my request from earlier this month to film in the bell tower with my A-level media group. I was wondering if the Vicar had any objections to using the church and bell tower as we have not heard back from you in some time.

Hope to hear back soon

 

Once again thank you very much for your time.

Yours sincerely,

Luke Schruyers

Hello Luke,

Have forwarded this to the Vicar and if he has no objection to you filming then the ringers will arrange a convenient time with you. We are mostly retired so day time would be ok for us.

Will let you know.

In the mean time we practice ringing on Thursday evenings 7.15 to 8. 45pm and you are welcome to come and have a look any Thursday.

Best wishes,

Pam Elliston

Hello,

I am emailing on behalf of four year 12 students from The Piggott School in Wargrave.

 

For our coursework and exam we have been tasked with creating the opening sequence to a film and we believe the church may be an ideal setting.

We were wondering if we would be able to have access to the church and bell tower in order to get the clips  we need. This would be very helpful for us to work at the best of our ability.

I was wondering if there were any times we could use the bell tower in the coming months?

All we need is some short shots looking outside from the bell tower and any help would be greatly appreciated. This process will only take roughly an hour.

Are there any processes we need to go through to be able to use the church and its tower?

 

 

Thank you very much for your time.

 

Yours sincerely,

Luke Schruyers.

Hey! just a quick update. We have begun work on our animatic where we'll be able to see if we have a good range of shots in order to make the best possible film intro.
We have also begun work on our production company- Lemiskate.
