Done and Dusted, day 3

Today at my work placement I had a lot of running around to do like collcting new stationary and coffee runs, I also had to make my way to Wimbeldon tennis court to meet a Done & Dusted employee to hand over a laptop, where they let me have a sneeky peek at center court.
Later on when I got back to the office I was given £500 to collect 5 jackets from the shop Zara on Regent street, I've never had the luxary of a shopping spree like that before, all in a days work I suppose!

Done & Dusted, day 2

So I'm on my second day at Done & Dusted, my first day there wasn't much going on, I was just meeting everyone and getting used to the office and doing general office work and coffee run but I enjoyed it, they have just finished doing T4 on the beach but they are already gearing up for the Olympics, I'm looking forward to getting involved.

Work placment. Done & Dusted

This week I am starting my work placement with Done & Dusted at there production office on Oxford Street, London. I am very excited as they have done some really good productions, the sort of TV shows that I myself watch on TV like T4 on the beach, and The Brit Awards to name a few, here is a link to there web site if anyone is interested in finding out what other productions they have done http://www.doneanddusted.com/

I cant wait to get started, and I am looking forward to what they have install for me.

Working on a video game at the studios

I got a call from Emma Norris from the Maidstone TV studios saying that there was a comapany called Audiomation

 (who I'd worked with last time they used the studios) where coming back to use the studios and they asked if they could use me again, Audio-motion shoot video games so it is totally different from anything I've ever done and there is alot of people walking around in wet suits with what looks like little golf balls all over them and red glowing cameras everywhere


It was a lot of fun, helping them set up platforms/sets and and even getting a go at being a camera op

As Live

So after a hectic week of getting everything finished for as live, it has all finally come to an end.
I have spent the last week running round like a headless chicken, with finishing the poster, liaising with all the bands and the host, sorting out band equipment, putting up poster everywhere, handing out leaflets, trying to get a studio audience, 2 rehearsal days and the big record day! And after it was all over, I stayed behind and help de-rig the studio.

A week of unsigned live

This week has been very hectic as I've had a lot to do like organise a band to come in for our rehearsal on Tuesday, and we managed to get hold of a band called 'Crybaby Special And The monsters' who were really good and professional to work with, it also feels I'm never off the phone/emailing people trying to keep everyone in the loop.

Lauren W and myself also sat down together and done what we hope is the last edit of the script, it feels like its flowing a lot better than it was before. I also created a mood board to show how i thought our presenter should be dressed for the day of record.

As live with Hans

Today we had Hans in for our production meeting, we got through alot today, sorting out some issues with the show and tying up a few loose end and make a few phone calls, it fells like everything is falling into place before the show. :)
