Time for action

[Jake]

cough cough, still dying but back at work. I can book out equipment, so you can check that off the list too full crew should not be too much of a problem, even if we just have one broadcast camera man, I can set up other shots etc.

Hi

back again! Glad to hear things have moved on a bit!
Charlie thanks for the feedback - useful stuff.

So in terms of a press release - are we clearer as to what our message is? There's a slogan for sure but are we clear on what else/what other actions we want to do to promote the issue?

 

[CopperBrompton]

The press release comes once the materials are ready. First step is creating the video.

 

[Jake]

so, location and props, ie lorry

 

[CopperBrompton]

Yep. Lorry next. We have one possible offer in the Midlands, but I think the camera and crew is in London, so a London lorry would be ideal.

 

[magnatom]

I'll PM scouserinlondon as he was in contact with a trucking magazine, so maybe they can help out. I'll also PM RT to see if he is still game.


I'll also create a new thread in cafe to see if we have any willing truckers.

 

[Jake]

got another helper from my end too. I guess as soon as a lorry is confirmed we can start looking at dates and locations?

That's brilliant Jake. I have a thread specifically about that in cafe and I have PM'ed Rhythm Thief and scouserinlondon. Watch this space...

I think this is a great idea and I would be happy to help. I'm a journalist and website editor for Nursing Times. I'm happy to write any promotional copy, script for the video, or press releases. I'm also experienced with social media and would be happy to help with promoting the initiative through facebook, twitter etc. Magnatom, I've PM's you with my emails address

Excellent! I saw the PM before I saw your reply here!

We need to focus on getting the video sorted first, but then we will certainly need help spreading the word.

Speicher, could you ass this to you list on page 17 of this thread?

If there's a suitable Manchester junction (i.e. left filter with right straight on and right turn) then I could get 3rd person POV with Tharg (assuming he's up for it) in front for the video of the cyclist side of things - not Professional quality camera, but maybe a more 'realistic' on-the-road look would be better/suitable.

Presumably then this could be intercut with the stuff of/from the HGV and the still photos.
