Colin and I are pleased to announce that all the footage from the eight locations which we’ve visited over the past year for the RNLI’s innovative Lifeboats.TV project have been imported ready for editing. Before the editing begins I’ve cut a movie with all the people we’ve interviewed, in the exact order they were interviewed. 180 people were interviewed, 20 hours of footage created.

We were sad to hear that the very last person to be interviewed (last in the below film) passed away suddenly and respect the families wishes that material recorded should still be used in Lifeboats.TV. Colin, myself and the team from Ultralab send our most sincere condolences to the families of the Tobermory lifeboat crew.

The following film will take a while to load, but should be worth the wait.

The second of our two pilot studies with young people. The lifeboats.tv team and some of the researchers from Ultralab’s notschool.net project worked together to test pilot the filming. St. Helier is on the island of Jersey, it was in ‘interesting’ flight in a six seater plane. The journey home was less bumpy.

The objective of the pilot was to find out what young people who were out of the formal education system thought about the lifeboat service and to also find out how to engage them using the latest technologies.

Eight Notschool.net researchers were involved in the research process and provided valuable information. The notschoolers also manned cameras and filmed on behalf of the project.
