So far...
Spring 2018 at Maramedia was shaped and dominated by Scotland’s weather. At least most of us can relate to the fact that Ned Stark was indeed correct when he said, ‘Winter is coming.’ It came…and it stayed. Then it left but then it came again…and again…right up until mid-April, giving us a snowy Easter. And a snowy start to the filming of Viking Princess series 2!
Snow aside, it was a very busy Spring at Maramedia, and we anticipated an ongoing busy summer too!
Viking Princess series 2
Viking Princess series 2 was filmed and edited quicker than you can say Viking princess Series 2! We had a fabulous time filming up at Duncarron Medieval Fort throughout the Easter holidays and even though the snow fell from the sky more often than the sun shone, we made the most of the beautiful snowfall and had many a snowball fight of course!
Shetland
A successful edit has allowed us time to work very closely, with composer, Fraser Purdie and we anticipate some incredible music scoring for the programme. We can’t wait to share it with you all towards the end of the year!
Wild way of the Vikings
We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the filming for ‘Wild way of the Vikings’ allowing us to partake in some incredible shoots in, Iceland, Norway and our very own Bass Rock. Couple spectacular wildlife with incredible Viking re-enactment and you end up with ‘Wild way of the Vikings’!
Festivals
We are also thrilled to add that Gudrun the Viking Princess won the Childrens award at the Scottish RTS Awards 2018, in May. We are so happy to receive the award and the team had a fantastic night celebrating at the event!
Roll on summer!
Now the tables have turned and Scotland seems to be having its best summer ever weather wise. It’s hard to imagine we were knee or even waist deep in snow just a few short months ago! But alas, lets not dwell in the snowy past and lets be thankful of the summer sunshine…even if Glasgow seems to be melting before our eyes!
We have a thrilling new commission currently under wraps to be revealed very soon, and of course ‘Gudrun the Viking Princess’, series two, delivered to the world for summer into Autumn viewing.
Cheers from us all at Maramedia!
