Updated 9th July 2021.
Using precaution we have agreed to start shooting once again. Please read below for the Covid-19 precautions, and do get in touch if you’d like to work with us, but feel nervous or unsure due to the current climate. We will assess filming on a case by case basis and may postpone work if we feel it may be unsafe for ourselves, or for our clients and collaborators.
UK Government advice on Covid- 19
What we will be doing to stay safe and keep you safe:
PRE PRODUCTION/ POST PRODUCTION
All pre-production will take place online via zoom, skype, email and/ or the telephone, if necessary.
If a face to face meeting is requested, we would prefer to meet in an outside space. We will wear masks if you would prefer, and have anti bac in our pockets.
We will keep our workspace sanitised and clean and minimise the amount of people sharing our workspace.
PRODUCTION
We will organise shoots to fit your needs around coronavirus, which may include; wearing face masks, keeping 1 - 2m distance between ourselves and vulnerable peoples; cleaning our equipment thoroughly; placing used equipment in plastic pockets to be quarantined until we get it back to our studio.
We will wash our hands thoroughly before and after the shoot, and use anti bac as needed in between.
If possible, we will shoot outdoors (if noise and weather limitations allow us), or we will discuss inside spaces ahead of the shoot to ensure good ventilation and space allowance.
On the 7 days prior to, or on the day of the shoot, if one of our crew displays any cold/flu/Covid-19 like symptoms such as having a temperature or a dry cough, we will contact you to reschedule, if possible.
If you or any of the contributors either 7 days prior to, or on the day of the shoot, display any cold/flu/Covid-like symptoms such as having a temperature or a dry cough, please notify us, and we will reschedule the shoot, if possible.
If you have been in contact with anyone in the last 7 days who is experiencing symptoms or who has tested positive for Covid-19, please get in touch as soon as possible to reschedule.
We will bring our own water vessels and food.
Please contact us if you have any concerns or would like to discuss any of the above at blackbarkfilms@gmail.com
