Liverpool Nativity

Hi all!

Firstly Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had a great day and Santa was kind!

Anyway! I was surfing through the channels last night and saw the Liverpool Nativity on BBC 3, i watched it and really enjoyed it! I thought it really showed how we could use technology in our shows, if you didn't see it, then they basically re-enacted the nativity story all over Liverpool and used internet linked camera's to beam the different scenes to one main stage, where the bulk of the audience were situated and the show was led by Gabriel who kept the audience clued up about where the scene was to avoid anyone getting confused. They used a modern version of the nativity where Joseph was a migrant and Marry was just a normal girl from Liverpool, it looked really good and seemed to echo the kind of concept that us in Wales (I'm not sure about New Zealand and Slough) were thinking of using. If you can i would search for it on Youtube and see what you think, although i don't think the whole thing is on there. If you have any ideas or comments on it please let me know! I would love to hear what you think about it! It certainly showed me how multimedia projects can work really well and look great!

Speak soon and much luvness!
