Jonny Walker Interview

Today we went to film Jonny Walker's interview and performance and we had to travel there to arrive for 11. James drove us, so there was only space for four people including him. This meant we had to prioritise our crew for the day. Obviously the sound and camera man were essential and I needed to go as the main contact for Jonny and to be interviewer. Tom's contribution had been very little in Liverpool so we decided that my presence was probably more necessary. I was a bit apprehensive as we'd yet to meet Jonny but when we arrived, he was well prepared and happy for us to film him setting up, performing and an interview for which he had some very interesting and useable answers.

Overall, I think the day went very well, despite a slight hiccup with the need for new tapes and the Marantz not wanting to record or turn on halfway through our filming. Jonny is a valuable contribution to our piece and I think the decision to travel to meet him was to our advantage even though it took up more time and effort on our parts.
