Date: 2004.05.19 10:00:22 Category: Entertainment: Television From: John Wood Company: Wealden House Phone: 01342 326130 (PRLEAP.COM) Wealden House’s policy of supporting local and national artists has taken an interesting new turn with Dominic Roberts’ exhibition entitled, ‘Behind the Scenes’. As guests at the Private View on Saturday discovered, it offers a rare glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes of many popular TV shows. Dominic Roberts, currently designing for Holby City, said, "I hope people will enjoy seeing the storyboards and set designs which are an aspect of TV production not normally seen and an insight into how these shows are made." Some of the most exciting sequences from top soaps and TV programmes can be seen in storyboard form at Wealden House over the next four weeks: A chase from ‘The Bill’, a fire in ‘Bad Girls’, Mark’s motorbike accident in ‘Eastenders’ and an historic soap sequence which every visitor has a chance to win: Grant Mitchell’s last appearance in ‘Eastenders’! Fans of such shows will find the exhibition fascinating as will anyone interested in working in this field. Entrance is free and the exhibition runs at until Friday, June 11th. Apart from the great opportunity to win the Grant Mitchell car chase storyboard, there will be a chance to meet Dominic at a free talk he will be giving in the exhibition room at Wealden House on Sunday May 23rd at 4pm. Entitled, "Designing for Television: An informal discussion with a working professional", Dominic’s talk will cover The Role of the Designer, Techniques of Design for Television, The purpose and use of storyboards and Pursuing a career in TV Design. He hopes that the talk will be of help to those thinking of embarking upon a career in TV design.
