There is a bit of a process involved for anyone wanting to be
interviewed, so the workshops are provided to help you deal with the
research forms, questions and sponsorship stuff. The research forms to
be filled in are published on the bushWiki website. Here are some
recent examples.

Film set
The new film set for Ellerslie next year is well underway. Plants are
being sourced, materials stockpiled, and construction underway. The
set will be 2 1/2 times the size of the last one and will be in a
blacked out Marque, which gives lots of opportunity for lighting
effects. The set will be stored in large modules and will be trucked
in in February. The builders are from DOC and Bunnings. Around 50
sponsors are expected to be involved. A large front-of-house team is
being organised by Helen Braithwaite from DOC to talk to the public
during the show while filming takes place. The film crew will also be
much larger with 3 camera being used.
