The Lost Boy Film

I have been down in London since Saturday morning, and so far we have shot two days filming. London is way warmer than Aberdeen and on the first day here I barely wore anything. Me and my friend Sarah Jane Pirie (Sj), a make up artist with whom I am staying with and working alongside in the film, went along Portobello Road Market and found some amazing things! I found a stall that had original prints from old Mickey Mouse cartoons in the 1940's. They also had prints of Tin Tin, Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland. I bought a print, because I thought it would look lovely in my newly decorated bedroom and I kind of like old quirky stuff like that.
The main highlight from this day was finding a shop that housed a black cat duo. Two adorable little fluff balls sleeping on selves on top of tshirt piles. I instantly HAD to go in! And we played. And I took photographs.

The first shooting was a night shot which began around 7pm and finished around 3.30am. It was quite exciting to be out working at this time as it was very quiet and ambient with all the street lighting. I was pretty shattered by the end of it, but really enjoyed it!
Just finished day two today and it was a great day. The actress playing Wendy Darling wore this beautiful edwardian styled blouse that I found in a shop on Portobello Road. Teamed with a fringed skirt, it looked pretty adorable.

I will be updating again after a few more days on set!

Exciting!

I Did Not Fall Down A Well

I have been neglecting this for a fair while now as I have been a super busy bee! I have been working on costume for The Lost Boy film, which successfully met its target of funding last friday! Been sourcing a lot of outfits and now is the time to buy everything in. It's great for me because shopping is something I adore, and this time its not putting me in debt for once!

I have also been doing a lot of tights this past month. The website still isn't ready but it will be running soon.

I have exciting news regarding a studio! I have miraculously been accepted by Wasps studios in Aberdeen onto their waiting list for a studio to hire. So happy! It could be a long wait till one comes up, but really happy that I am now in line to eventually get some space to make arts!

I will keep this updated when I am working on the film over the next few weeks including looks I put together for the actors/actresses and hair and make up by my beautifully talented friend and co-worker on the film Sarah Jane Pirie!
