Quietness

Castle Captain Interview 24/11/2010 This morning my job is sitting in the pub, in case anyone wants a break or a chat.  It’s a misty morning with a hard frost, but with some luck it will lift and we’ll have a bit of sunshine to finish the bulk of the shooting in.  It’s starting to come already, I think.  Quiet here, and I’ve finally sorted out some offline blogging software.  Next step is setting up a youtube account for the videos – the first one’s are looking good. We can start getting them online, along with the videos from the training yesterday and the day before.

There was no reflection session this morning – we didn’t want to get in the way of the teams’ preparations for shooting.  They put an awful lot of work in last night into ironing out snags and thinking about how to improve things.  We’ll need to make sure we pick up on that later today.  Just as much effort last night went into fixing up the P in PV, as the the V.  But it’d be good to revisit that as a group and see if it’s made a difference.

With changing the teams around again (more people leaving, some coming back), one of the best signs that the sense of responsibility for outcomes had been handed over was the team who told us they wanted Rupesh to be their camera man.  It’s funny because he’s very experienced in the producer/trainer role but not on the the technical end.  I think he’s always wanted to have the chance to play with a camera and now he’s having to make sure it’s switched on, pointing in the right direction and monitoring sound without falling over his feet.
