Some little jobs
I’ve been doing a work placement at Elstree Studios all week on a sci-fi film which has been awesome. I’m there next week too. It’s been lots of mould-making and prep for the front of the ‘Mars Rover’, the vehicle the astronauts will be driving on Mars (a desert in Jordan). Weta designed this vehicle which is also very exciting, although I don’t think anyone from Weta is directly involved in the project. So yeah, I’ve met lots of hilarious and inpsiring people this week, and they keep mentioning that they’re worked on films like Fantastic Mr Fox, and ALL the Harry Potter films! I've been trying hard all week to STAY COOL. They're all very down to earth though and have been very helpful and encouraging. Also I'm getting lots of practice at mould-making which I definitely need to improve on! The mould that everyone is making is so huge. I also keep walking past a studio with the BIGGEST green screen I've ever seen! How's that for some rhyming??
I just got a little unpaid job making props for a stop motion animation film, and the guy who’s directing it also lives in St Albans, which is weird. His work's pretty good too, this is an awesome little film he's worked on: http://vimeo.com/28761155. He’s paying for all the materials which is great so I can relax and enjoy making all these little things! I'll post pics when I get started.
I've been emailing a lovely lady called Erin about a possible business venture, making props and craft things with the intention of selling them. I'm meeting her tomorrow to discuss things further so that's pretty cool.
How typical, I haven't been doing anything for months then three things come along at once. Hey ho!!
