You know what I realised? As I was driving to set with a car full of set dressing, camera and lighting equipment and a DOP/Director in the front seat?
I bet that I was totally brought on to this production because I have a car rather than for my actual skills. Sigh.
Still, it was good fun. Only two new people in a really small cast and crew, so it was all quite light hearted and laid back. Which almost made up for the somewhat horrific drive there and back. I really hate city driving.
It's going to be uploaded on YouTube as a web series, so I'll probably link it when it's up on Twitter. Nothing exciting costume wise, in that it was just normal clothes, but still, work is work (even if you don't get paid).

A catch up
So ... um ... it's been a while. 6 weeks away in the big city and just over a week back home, and only now I decide to face the shame of my poor, neglected blog. I did not do well at documenting this last shoot.
It's a shame really, because it's not like I didn't have stuff to share. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't have struggled to come up with something to write about every day. But, alas, sleep and food took priority upon arriving back at my digs of a night, so let me sum it all up here.
Phew. 37 long and hard shooting days, each filled with sleep deprivation, stress and discontent, and yet I wouldn't have wanted to be any where else. The cast and crew were simply awesome. My bank account suffered, but it was worth every penny ... Or it will be as soon as I get every penny back. I made firm friends, met a boy, brought a dress, and even got the promise of years of paid work to come.
I did, however, live on a diet that consisted almost exclusively of salad and humous wraps on set, and pizza off set. Not that I'm complaining ... I have had cravings for wraps and eaten pizza at least 3 times in the past week.
What else to tell?
The boy is a boy, but I like him. As in, I haven't even started talking myself out of it yet, which is new. We're still just taking it as it comes. I'm a little scared that if we label it, I'll freak and run, and I don't want that. Hmm we'll see ... I'll keep you posted.
I did my huge room sort out as soon as I got back, and now half of my wardrobe is destined for eBay - well, what my sister didn't poach anyway. I keep it lovely, putting the cushions on my bed and lighting my candle, and it's lovely. As soon as we have completely emptied my sisters old room, I can set up my work room in the extension, and get started on setting up my business!
So things are starting to come together ... Now I just need fate to stop fucking over my family's personal lives.
