Lewisham Holocaust Day 07

Meconopsis Films was honoured to be chosen to film Lewisham Borough's Holocaust Day. Rabbi Dr. Ze'ev Amir and Steve Bullock, Lewisham Mayor (see pic) shared some closing thoughts but most of the event was thoughtful, moving and beautifully prepared work by talented Lewisham children on the theme of 'the dignity of difference'.

No still pictures of the various drama, singing and theatrical performances as we were too busy filming - they tend not to stand still!

We'll be producing a DVD record of the event for the Borough and for the participating schools and groups that took part.

We used HDV for the wide camera for the first time - so more thoughts about that after the edit. However, Avid Liquid captured it like a dream and the picture quality is stunning. We'll use it to scan and crop to match the standard definition camera we were using for the details.
