Natasha rang me this morning and offered me some preproduction work on Thursday which I couldn't do - I suppose the "mixed day" thing revolves around that. Dealing with a full high budget feature length on top of all this other work really pushes me beyond a physical limit. I'm concerned that I might have to withdraw from working on the film, which is a real shame but I can't put my own business on hold to work for someone elses - Well I can, but frankly I'd rather not. I totally love doing what I do, I get to work with some great people and have fun doing my job, although I'm trained in Film - I feel very strange working for someone else- it's strange going from being your own boss to being surrounded by people who have more BAFTAs and awards than I have years to my life (exageration) is not only daunting - but just demoralising.
Anywhoooo, today! After all - that is what blogs are about! Did a shoot with two hilarious girls, Claire and Natt. Our mammoth 7 hour shoot consisted of studio work, Selfridges car park, custard factory, millenium point and a train station. Whilst I was at Custard Factory I couldnt resist a sneak peak at Steve Gerrards new business location which I admire and live in total jealousy of.Todays shoot seemed more about just getting some genuine fun/flattering shots of the girls without having to think "They are using this for a portfolio..." - so without thinking about the constraints of portfolio work - the girls went ahead and posed with lollypops, swang from train station posts and generally enjoyed the shoot.
So now I'm miles behind on all my editing work - I need to go and get cracking, sit down with a pint and work like a crazy man. speak soon!
