This is Rebecca Parrant. She’s ‘Interpretation Manager’ for the Victory project. Through the marketing department of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, she pulls together all the outreach for the ship’s restoration. That’s being called ‘ Victory Live – The Big Repair’ – with visitors able to watch that repair, well, live – key to the Museum’s plan. Clever, because it’s going to take quite a while. The new ‘Interpretation’ structure inevitably begged the question of what Maritime Films UK’s role would be – we had been successfully chronicling the progress of the project over nigh on a decade, to the Museum’s warm approval, and it wasn’t clear where we stood. That question became more noticeable with Rebecca’s first (nice) films delivered in that role were flatteringly similar what we’d already done. I enquired. And then it all became all too clear…
