Tower Bridge Studios is a beautiful photographic facility in Wapping, not far from Tower Bridge, with five photographic and video studios with a free car park and just outside the London congestion charging zone.
The studios are purpose built with different characteristics such as photographic coves and frosted daylight windows and make up areas. All the studios are furnished with designer lounge furniture, lunch tables, a stocked fridge and tea and coffee facilities and free wi-fi! With a choice of fabulous shooting locations such as St. Katharine's Dock, Tower Bridge and the quiet cobbled streets of Wapping, Tower Bridge Studios is an ideal production base for photography and film shoots.
And they've been kind enough to give us access to a studio space for our Clowning Around photo shoot in a few weeks time, so we can get some great imagery to show the calibre of project we will create with the film. It's so good of them and very supportive to us at this pre-fundraising time of the project when we really don't have any budget for space. It's an incredibly nice gesture and one that we fully appreciate, not only for it's usefulness but because people who don't know us are interested in the project and are prepared to back it with their help.
Walking along the Thames taking in the morning sun and taking a few of my own photos afterwards I was thinking of the famous Tennessee Williams line from Streetcar Named Desire about depending on the kindness of strangers. Which actually can sometimes be a doubly rewarding thing to do.
I'm very much looking forward to our production meeting next week where a lot of the remaining details for the photo shoot costume, make up and colour pallette will be finalised so that departments heads can get the ball rolling on preparations. It's such a nice process seeing the characters take shape. I'm very much looking forward to standing in one of those fab studios and seeing our clowns and their companions come to life.
