Making this ‘3 Minute Wonder’ is definitely teaching the whole crew a lesson in patience; did we do a nice tame subject with adults and public locations? Nope, we did one with an army of children, a private swimming pool and at a school.
This means for this first week rather than shooting we’ve been explaining to parents the issues of swimming education, asking their opinion of their child’s lessons and yes: “please may we film your child & will you sign this form?”
Well, the response has been fantastic, I would say 99% of parents have complied and we have the forms all signed and sealed. Additionally, it was incredibly gratifying to see how much opinion and strength of feeling there is out there on the issue of swimming education.
Speaking as someone who really supports the idea of more facilities and more hours for swimming lessons in school; the team and I am going to have to be really self-disciplined to make this documentary balanced not biased!
