5 reasons to be excited

War Horse trailer: is Spielberg's thoroughbred on track for an Oscar? | Film | guardian.co.uk

This blog entry is mainly a way to vent my energy so i can sleep. I'm too excited!

1. I'm seeing Arcade Fire at Hyde Park tomorrow and I dont think I've been this excited for a gig in a long time. Mumford and Sons and Beirut supporting will be fantastic.

2. Then the next night I am going to see Warhose at the theatre which I have been dying to do so for a few years so I'm really excited. I can imagine the puppets will blow me away.

3. I've been invited to the Horrid Henry screening on Sunday which is nice! It'l be great to see a couple of things I've helped with be on the big screen! And to catch up with the crew I met when working on it.

4. I received an email earlier for the FDI anniversary party. Although I've not done the course yet I have full intentions to do so and it will be a fantastic networking opportunity to I might go. Plus it'l be nice to meet up with a few people who I met down at Pinewood on the set dec course.

5. I was about to sleep with all this buzzing around my head when I realised the Warhorse trailer is out! I for one cant wait for this film, I very much like a good old Spielberg Epic. Plus after seeing a scene being filmed it'l tie in quite nicely.

That is all. Goodnight.

Jack the Giant Killer

This week I have been working in the art department on Jack the Giant Killer with the scenic painters. I was 'very highly recommended' by Richard Bullock which was a bit of an honour and it was nice that my work on Horrid Henry paid off. I won't give away anything away (just incase) but I can tell it is going to be an amazing production. The budget is big enough that they can do some incredible set builds.

It was a great confidence boost to get paid for something I really enjoy doing and to be involved with such great people. I just wish I could have stayed for longer. I'm hoping that there is a fair bit of work left that they could use an extra pair of hands for so I might get another call up in a few weeks. Here's hoping!
