A Little Update

Did some searching on the internet and found some video clips showing animals being treated badly for the film, thought we could use them to show why the activists and liberators are doing what they do.

Friday night I went to The Stockroom and as well as sampling some tasty Vegan treats I got us a contact address for Sheffield Sabs, they seam to be willing to do an interview showing the techniques they use to sabotage Fox Hunts as well as this I got little bit of footage of the acts on which I think we could use as an introduction to the interview with Sabs if we can get it. 

I will give the tape of recordings and the videos to Sarah tomorrow morning.

Interviews/FiIming possibilites

Just emailed http://www.derbysabs.org/ and http://westyorkshirehuntsabs.wordpress.com/in regards to interviews and the possibility of filming during a sabotage mission. Hopefully we will get a reply soon.

Sam

Research

Hey guys, we really need to get filming I have found a couple of fairly close organisations we should have a meeting soon, take a look take a look at the links bellow and tell me what you think.

http://westyorkshirehuntsabs.wordpress.com/

Take a browse through them, i think it would be interesting to ask a group of fox hunting saboteur's if they would mind us joining them and filming them in action.

Sam

Roles

We decided as a group that each member would have a role within the group, although we are all going to contribute to everything because it's better to have more inputs, and to know what is going on all the time.

New idea

I am happy with the new project idea, it seems much more achievable than the 'Teenage Soldiers' idea which was originally picked by the tutors. Although I did like the other idea, I think this one meets the brief more.

Will do some research and get it posted on here asap.

Sarah

Hey Guys

Hey set up this blog for the animal rights doc, is every happy doing the subject? i sent you an Email asking to join up to be an author, so you can post things up too and hopefully that will work.

Sam did you say you have a friend who we could follow around for he day?

I wonder if theres any events happening soon, we probably also need to get research up here as well.

Al
