| Project Description: |
| Storyteller Richard Neville collaborates with the Museum of London to bring music, history and myth together to benefit the learning experiences of children at Ravensbourne School in Essex. We produced a compilation video after having covered multiple sessions at the school. Not only does this provide a record of events for the museum, but a great way for parents at the school to see how their children react. |
| Testimonial: |
| "Screensaver worked with me during a project at Ravensbourne School. The school is attended by children and young people with severe learning difficulties. The watchword of my work is always - expect the unexpected!! Screensaver displayed high levels of sensitivity and a willingness to adapt and improvise that was a joy to work with. Screensaver managed to capture the essence of a lengthy arts and storytelling project, creating a ten minute DVD from many hours of footage. The resulting DVD has already become part of the educational program of the school, and also the Museum of London, one of the other project partners. I commend Screensaver highly for their ability to balance the needs of a professional video production with the spontaneous developments of a free flowing arts project." |
| Richard Neville, Storyteller |
| "This collaborative storytelling, object handling and art project between the Museum of London, Ravensbourne School and Richard Neville, an independent storyteller ended up with an excellent memento captured on camera by Screensaver. The project involved filming children with severe learning difficulties and Steven and his team approached this aspect sensitively. They were also very flexible during the editing as we had to ensure that every child was seen in the film at least once which was a lengthy editing process to negotiate. After a lot of hard work, the end result was a beautifully constructed film capturing the essence of the stories and the journeys which the children went through on the project." |
