Picture wrap!

And we finally wrapped on Booked Out on Wednesday. It was hardwork, but a great shoot. And I got to work with a load of brilliant people again.

I've spent the last few days overseeing the decorating, cleaning, and waste removal from our main location (3/4 tonnes of trash!!). And then back to Harrogate for Easter and to get the last of my stuff before I move down to London permanently.

So still all bloody go!

Seen in London - Catch up edition

I've been doing a lot of scouting for the past few weeks, and I've been to a few interesting places. Seen a lot of stuff...

The worlds cheeriest funeral parlour.




A really cool wall art thing-me-jig in a really cool warehouse apartment converstion with a really cool Pueruvian photo on it. A big fucking bag of cool really!


One of my favouritest buildings in the world.


We filmed in a 5 star hotel right next to St Pauls for a day. It also had a penthouse with a garden rooftop view of it, complete with glass lift to get there! Also THE BIGGEST FUCKING TV I'VE EVER SEEN! God, I don't get paid enough for that lifesyle.....yet. ;)


The remains of a very bad day for three people.



Westminster cathedral. What a beauty! lol Never seen it properly before :)




























The globe. Sam Wannamakers dream. I really want to see a proper Shakespeare play done in there this year.

A man in a gibbet! lol I really got a kick out of seeing that as I've always want to see one of those (even if he wasn't real lol





























And two of the most impressive (and expensive) cakes I've ever seen, as it was the director (Bryan O'Neil) and lead actor (Rollo Weeks) birthdays on the same day. One was a chocolate bonanza, shaped like a rose, and the other was a cream and Every Fucking Fruit You Can Think Of, including cumquats, lychees, passion fuits, and some strange white shit with seeds that I'm ashamed to say I couldn't name lol Needless to say, both were fucking gorgeous! :)

Sorry, been busy

A bit crap on the posting front, sorry!. My average posts per month ratio will be suffering for this! ;)

Filming is in full swing on my latest film, and I'm doing crazier than usual hours as I'm wearing a couple more hats than my usual Location Manager role. I'm also Transport Captain, and about half of Production Manager. As a result I haven't had a day off in nearly 4 weeks. My last day off had me take my first phonecall at 8.30am (I missed a work text at 7.20), and I didn't get back in after a full days location scouting until at 7.30.pm. So a day off is a 3 hour sleep-in from the usual 14-16 hours I do six days a week! lol

But it is a great shoot, with a really cool crew, and a great script to work off. We spent the weekend filming a swing dancing (a kind of 40'a/50's jive) scene. Had loads of people in 50'a hair and clothes dancing really coolly to a brilliant old swing tune. So all is good:)

Action!

We started filming on Sunday, with our first location being in St Pancras station, which yours truly managed to blag for free :D

St Pancras really is the most beautiful building, and what we shot looked wonderful!

So three crazy weeks ahead of me, but it'll all be worth it. Wish me luck!

Next job!

I have landed my next job, so am now down in London again; and may be here for quite a while (more on that soon).

It is an indie comedy called Booked Out, which is a charming script in a kooky romantic comedy sort of way, by a first time director and first time producer. They are both great guys and I am looking forward to it.

Schedule is tight! We shoot in 3 weeks so I had better get cracking! lol More as it comes!
