It's all getting a bit hectic! The deadline's looming, and the site's not ready yet!
Rob finished off the film for the present section yesterday - and it's looking really good! He'd organised for an actor to come in and narrate some of the primary sources for the audio, and together with the drums he'd recorded last week it looks and sounds really effective. Completely does its job in contrasting the present Castle Market buildings with the castle as it stood in the early modern period.
Ellie and I have managed to put together the information for the timeline, and are just finishing off some bits of extra information which we think people might be interested in.
Johare is working hard on the site - doing all sorts of complicated programming stuff that the rest of us just do not understand! The timeline especially is really clever - and means that vistors have to engage with the site in much more active way - which is great!
We've finally been able to get in touch with the Council about the plans for the future. I called Yunus Ahmed, the Team Manager for Development at the Council this morning, and he was really very helpful. It's nice to hear that the Council are excited about the future of the castle as we are, and that it is a central focus for their redevelopment plans for the area. I've also asked for permission to use the illustrations in the Council's redevelopment plan on the site - they give a really good impression of how the area will look - and would really liven up the 'future' page.
Getting there slowly but surely!
