Lunch Break

Hi internet world...

I'm on my lunch break, and thought I would follow through on my promise to blog more regularly, and as there is no time like the present, I thought I'd try a sneaky blog.

Work is going well! The show is called Blood Brothers, not sure if I mentioned that previously. I'm still unsure on all the privacy clauses, so I will be circumspect. The cast I have met are amazing, and make me really excited to see some familiar faces, as well as knowing a little of their backgrounds and wanting to see the work they will produce on this project. I'm really enjoying the work, though the only sewing I have been doing has been ro produce multiple dressing gowns for when they get covered in blood, and burnt etc, as well as needing duplicates for continuity. I have completed 4, and found out today that I need to make a 5th one!! cest la vie... I'm learning loads about how Hero works - the costume hire place most of our costumes are coming from, as well we re living the 90s through fashion. I do miss velcro sandals, PALE denim, straw sunhats with bright coloured flowers, and aboriginal dot print t shirts. All of which I can unashamedly say I owned and wore regularly!! Late this week we will move into the 'Costume Bus' - a trailer on the back of a truck which will be our home for the next 4 weeks of shooting.

The shoot schedule came out today, and it looks like I'll be working on a couple of saturdays, though will get the mondays off those weeks so we only ever do 5 days in a row. That's so we can film in a court room without ever taking up the court's precious time. Also, there are a couple of huge late nights ahead of us - start at 1pm, finish at midnight for several days. Thats the trouble with summer - we need outside to look dark sometimes, and when we do, we have to wait AGES for it to happen!

That's all I actually have time for. It's 10 mins till a fitting with our lead, and the costumes are still in bags waiting to be unpacked. oops!!

I'll write again soon, as always.

Caitlyn.
