The Society also has the occasional use of two further small boats, both of timber construction. These are both in the order of eighteen feet long and are replicas of Viking hulls from the archaeological record. Hand to hand combat Regia also specialises in combat re-enactment and frequently organises battles that closely follow real action with cutting edge weapons. We understand the difference between a general master shot of a battle and the many cutaways and close ups that are required to edit together the few moments of screen time that will be both memorable and definitive. We think safety is important and in the many, many productions with which we've been involved, I cannot remember more than a sprained ankle from running too enthusiastically down the face of a sand dune.
Damaged personnel make for expensive retakes.
Research and Scripting Researching costume, artifacts or events in our specialist period of interest could not be easier. Because we do a lot of public events, we are used to thinking on our feet and dramatic presentation is no stranger to us. We can even help with scripting and dialogue if required. Many of our people can ride, trained by Janet Rogers of Film Horses and TV from whom we hire horses on a regular basis. Additionally, we normally have at least one fully equipped warrior on horseback immediately available in-house.
