Next of Kin Trailer

The Next of Kin touring programme commemorates the centenary of the First World War by revealing the wartime stories and testimony of Scottish families within diverse museum collections across Scotland. www.tigershark.tv/nextofkin
It consists of an exhibition display, digital app and learning handling box that will travel to nine venues around Scotland, starting in Dumfries in 2015 and ending in Orkney in 2017.
Tigershark was commissioned to produce many of the sound recordings used in the original exhibition which reveals the personal stories of separation and loss experienced by Scottish families during the First World War.
It features keepsakes treasured by families as a way or remembering loved ones lost on the fighting fronts, including letters and postcards sent home, medals sent by the government to next of kin and unique artefacts collected by troops as souvenirs.
To bring the memories to life, Tigershark engaged some of the talented young Scottish students at the Royal Conservatoire, recording their voices during a Glasgow studio session. Further recordings were also made using other actors in a studio in Edinburgh..
Tigershark also produced a trailer for the exhibition and edited the newsreel footage which forms part of the exhibition audio video material.
