Love Letters videography

I was commissioned to create some promotional videography for Love Letters, a brand new musical produced by Queen’s Theatre. The project involved filming and editing three videos.

First I worked on two ‘In rehearsal’ videos including interviews with the writer and director Douglas Rintoul and the lead actress, Lucy Benjamin, which were followed by a production trailer.

Christmas Allsorts - production trailer

I made a production trailer for the Queen’s Theatre’s ‘Christmas Allsorts’ variety show. For the first time ever the theatre wasn’t able to produce a pantomime however they managed to create this glamorous and funny 4 actors/musicians show. Unfortunately the production had a very short run due to the pandemic and Tier 4 restrictions introduced in London only two days after the opening night.

Misfits at Queen's Theatre, production photography

I took some production shots of the latest Queen’s Theatre’s production. Due to the lockdown Misfits is available to watch online only. It’s live-streamed until Sunday 22 November https://www.queens-theatre.co.uk/whats-on/show/misfits/

Here I Am - Live streaming from the Queen's Theatre

For the last month, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch has been asking its audiences‎ about their experience of lockdown. The Theatre has received over 1,000 responses – online and by phone – each of them by turn, surprising, funny, moving and ultimately full of hope.

The Theatre placed those stories firmly centre stage in its empty auditorium, reflecting them back in a loving patchwork of encounters that share the collective voice of an extraordinary community.

Superstitions about ghostlights allow echoes of former actors to perform in a theatre that’s closed, where the stage is empty. But what happens when one such ghost has been waiting for her much loved audience to return?

This project was my, as well as everyone’s in the team, first live video streaming experience. People were able to attend the Theatre online on one of three evenings only‎ on Wednesday 24, Thursday 25 or Friday 26 June.

Below are some screenshots and also some production stills that I managed to shoot during the technical rehearsals.

Here I Am was devised by Danielle Flett and Douglas Rintoul with music donated by Imogen Heap and sound design by Alexander Broad.
