Well, obviously it WASN’T. And I’m still not convinced we’re finished. You may find me dead underneath terabytes of footage of everyone in Cardiff in some years to come…
But in the meantime, enjoy some snaps from one of our last days. We filmed an interview in Spillers Records with Adam Chard, who designed the We Are Cardiff site and has done pretty much every bit of design work you’ve seen on that project. He’s also in two bands, taken most of the photos on the We Are Cardiff site, and if you walk into Spillers or Clwb, chances are you’re within spitting distance of something that’s been designed by his crazy mind. Our second interview after that was with Lola Coaster from the Tiger Bay Brawlers, in the comfort of her kitchen. Cos that’s how we/she/everyone ROLLS!
I think this photo of Spillers may be one of my favourite photos that I’ve ever taken. Just putting that out there.
Big thanks to the following people for this particular day of filming:
Tom Betts for lendage of audio equipment
Spillers Records for use of their upstairs bit
Adam Chard for managing to keep a straight face on camera (even I went massively off piste between questions and told the story of when I got accidentally locked in a disabled toilet in a hospital when I was about seven years old, convinced myself I was going to get AIDS from the toilet seat and screamed and screamed until a nurse came to let me out, thinking someone was being murdered in there)
The Tiger Bay Brawlers for letting us dress up one of their brawlers during a (rare!) week off
Also obviously Dave for continued amazing work behind the camera.
Hope you enjoyed the pics! I know I’m totally jinxing eveything by saying this, but I think we might have JUST ONE MORE shoot before the film goes under the crunch for the edit… photos of that will appear… soon!
Oh, by the way. Did I mention we were having a party for the premiere screening of the film? It’s at Chapter Arts Centre on 7 July 2013! at 12:30pm – lunchtime! You should TOTALL COME! Tickets are only available in advance from this link: http://wearecardiffportraitofacity.eventbrite.co.uk/
Get them early because we only have a limited number… and once they’re gone, THEY ARE GONE!
Take it easy until next time…
