hey,
i'm a film student from yale and when i was given the opportunity to work on what sounded like a really interesting production, i jumped at the chance. Little did i know how "interesting" it would be. Along side all the experts i've been speaking to, i've also seen a guy who sets himself on fire for a living! there's been clowns walking around the house, spacemen, evil pirate toilet rolls and a pig lady.
I don't envy the teams who have to actually make real profesional films from this although i would definately give it a go if they were to run it again.
The house is amazing, from the themed bedrooms to the 85 acres of land, so the teams are not short for props of locations.
As a runner you get to see a lot of whats happening and inbetween fetching props and making tea i've seen some great things.
Can't wait to see the finished products on saturday, if i were you i'd come too, it's guaranteed to be a great night!

I can't believe it's Thursday already. This is the first moment I've had to put something onto the blog.

This project is just brilliant, I can't believe that its actually happening. When Iwan and Dom first outlined this plan to me last year I seem to remember laughing. Of course I said I'd help, I thought there was no chance of it actually coming off!!!!!

So now I find myself in this amazing house, surrounded by some really inspiring people who are actually shooting films under all sorts of creative restrictions.

While I'm not sure exactly what the story lines are that the teams are actually filming from yesterday it seems we have the following:

a spaceman falls to earth, and then bursts into flames.

there was some sort of teenage sexual issue being filmed in the greenhouse

an unhappy wife was clensing the house of her husbands possessions

and the bedrooms and stairs were full of smoke and red lighting for a horror flick

Clowns, actors, smoke, lights, camera - ROLLING

and ACTION

Q burning man

That for me was the highlight of my day. I cant believe we had a burning man stunt yesterday.

Your going to have to come to the premiere of these films on Saturday night if you want to know how these films turn out

I'll try and find time later to let you know what else gets filmed today
