WOOD WORKS, SELBY CENTRE-RAFF ABD ATHOS PLAINING.AVI

Well the World of Wayne continues! I maybe going a little crazy with these Mini-Mentaries but people keep popping up so, SHOOT THEM I SAY!

THERE ARE FOUR LITTLE CLIPS TO WATCH.

This little gem happened at lunchtime today on my out of a non-descript building in Norf London. Through the window I saw two guys Plaining' some wood outside. It looked rather cool as they seemed to be in sync with each other. I popped outside and spoke to them. Raff and Athos seemed a little bemused at my interest and enthusiasm of their craft but entertained me and my energetic curiosity. I asked to film them plaining and they were happy to oblige but stopped short explaining their motive, instead pointing me toward their Project Manager, an enigmatic Frenchman, Joel. I carried on filming for a minute or so and stopped. Joel then appeared inside and Raff took me to meet him. As soon as I turned the corner into the old gymnasium there he was taking pictures of his Students and the large, oak triangular beams they were working on. I knew now he would be sympathetic to my cause! I immediately showed him the raw footage I had just shot. His eyes lit up and he ushered me to his office? This was the first week this project had got off the ground and, in short he needed someone to organise a Film Crew to document proceedings. They are building a workshop to house, treat and recycle old wood of various shapes and sizes in. the timing couldn't have been better!
We spoke for five minutes after having shown him the footage on my laptop he called in the Chief Executive (Selby Centre) and throw a pitch at her. And so it begins.

I'm hoping to help them now as all whom I dealt with were friendly, good natured and hard-working (it seems) and in need of assistance.

If anyone wishes to contribute, hands, brains, lottery funding or just advice, all is welcome?

These 4 videos explain a little about the project and if u want to know more, volunteer or help in any way you can get in touch with me..HERE?
