Over the weekend, I was over in Merseyside and decided to take the
opportunity to visit Albert Docks where the Duckmarines are stationed to try
and see if I could make any contacts face to face with members of staff to seek
filming permission. Previous to my trip, Charlotte had emailed the company to
explain our interests in the Duckmarines.
At the booking office, I spoke to one of the senior members of
staff and explained our intentions for wanting to film the Duckmarines and
possibly interview staff and crew involved. Although they had not received our
email, they seemed keen to help and explained the decision would have to go
through the manager of the company before we could get the go ahead. If this
was accepted we would be allowed to film the boat in action and have interviews
with the crew on board. In return they asked for a copy of the final project. I
was also told that we would be able to film on board the Duckmarine, however as
our trip to Liverpool is during half term, we would have to pay full price to
ride the tour, and we were also not allowed any shots of the paying customers
on board the boat during the tour. However, I do not feel this is a major
issue. I provided contact details and I am now waiting to hopefully hear a
response back this week to allow us permission to film.
