Behind-the-scenes footage: Swallows and Amazons, 1973 - Bowness, the location for 'Rio' in Arthur Ransome's story. Shot on 16mm film (Bolex). Copyright Sophie Neville. • Now available as a book ~ 'The Secrets of Filming Swallows Amazons' • The true-life memoir of a child star. In 1973, Sophie Neville was cast as Titty alongside Suzanna Hamilton and Virginia McKenna in the EMI/Theatre Projects movie of 'Swallows Amazons'. Made before the advent of CGI or digital technology, the young actors lived out Arthur Ransome's epic adventure, with all of its camaraderie and thrills, on location in the British Lake District. • As part of their schoolwork, the children were asked to keep diaries about their time spent filming. Meanwhile, the hip young crew from Elstree Studios were getting to grips with transforming 1970's Windermere in mid-holiday season into a 1929 idyll. • They never guessed that their happy 'Woodstock-on-wheels' experience would become such an enduring worldwide success, still screened on television and at festivals today. • This heart-warming memoir is illustrated with colour photographs, most of them taken at the time by Sophie's family, and contains links to behind-the-scenes home movie footage for readers with browser-enabled tablets. It delivers a double helping of nostalgia for both fans of the era of Arthur Ransome, and the groovy times of the early 70's. • http://sophieneville.net/buy-books/
