I have been unbelievably lucky lately to be able to escape the confines of my desk to go out and 'reccie' places all over Sydney. As exciting as getting out of the office is, the weather has been unbelievable and I have collected some photos from my various travels. I haven't edited or Instagram'd any of these, they're el naturale straight from my iPhone. What do you think? I think I definitely need to stop complaining about my job…. Read more »
I mentioned last year that I was working on the first season of Celebrity Apprentice and then somehow signed up to do it all again for 2012. It feels like so long ago since working on it, but after the finale last night, I thought I'd share some of it with you. The show might seem a bit mental, if you've seen it, but I can assure you that it is 100 times more mental than it comes across on… Read more »
Working in television, I move around on show-to-show contracts. This is good for a number of reasons (eg knowing there is an end in sight tends to keep me sane) but it also means being constantly on the search for the next show and this sometimes nearly leads to this: That is a bad idea, but I thought that I would share with you my best tips for job hunting: - Work out what you want and what you don't… Read more »
I'm sure by now I don't need to preface or justify any of the things that I geek out about because, let's face it, if you're here, you already know that about me! One thing in particular is anything film-related and so the fact that it has taken me four months to see the Harry Potter Exhibition is probably just pure laziness! Any chance I get, I will wax eloquent about the Harry Potter series. I am a big fan… Read more »
I've been working in television for nearly five years now, but really only the last year since I moved to Sydney counts. I don't know how interested anyone is in that but I thought it might be fun to share some random things about the many different jobs I've had in the industry over the past few years. – Sometimes you will be required to drive around a production vehicle that is worth four times your annual salary because the… Read more »
I haven't had the chance yet to share what I've been working on lately. As I have mentioned before, the world of film and television is a random one. I go through a LOT of jobs in a year – and never as many as this year when I finally moved to Sydney to really do this. For the past few weeks, I've been working on a Bollywood film, called From Sydney, With Love. It's the first film I've ever… Read more »
Week six brings my crazy shoot to an end. I don't think I have enjoyed (and sometimes hated) a work experience more. It has been the most crazy, messy, last minute, too late to organise, maybe no one knows what's going on but equally the most hilarious, fun, loved up, entertaining job I have ever had. I have met some incredible people. People who really genuinely love what they do and want to see kids like me succeed in this… Read more »
Last week was another MASSIVE week – two lots of shoots in one week so close to the end was tough. Everyone on the crew is so exhausted but we always manage to have plenty of fun! It was so crazy I don't even have that many good photos this week! The first part of the week we spent at beautiful Darling Harbour. This was probably the first place I fell in love with in Sydney and I still love… Read more »
I got so caught up with my pre-scheduled posts last week to make sure I didn't miss any days in Blogtoberfest that I missed shoot week three photos. So I'm doing a bit of a combination of weeks three and four. I can't believe my time on this show is nearly over! Only nine days to go. Here are some of the different locations I found myself over the past two weeks: WEEK THREE included some time at a photography… Read more »
