thriving

well i guess i should talk about the project that i'm doing at the moment
it's a short film
it's called Hard to Lose and it's about a cage-fighter
originally when i applied for the job, i applied to be an art department assistant
but this morning, i and rosie became promoted, in a sense, to art directors
because our h.o.d. had to withdraw from the project
it's okay, everything is doable
but i have spent the morning emailing, typing, creating lists, re-reading the lists, all these things
it's quite high pressure because
filming starts tomorrow

so there is a lot of responsibility on me now
and i haven't heard from rosie yet
but she is at work of course

anyway by the end of this process (next week. it's a short) i will have been "art director"
nice to say by the age of 19, in three weeks time
"i went from 'runner' to 'art director' in one month"
it will look nice on my CV i suppose
but more importantly i'm learning how to cope with this pressure
and i think i'm doing really well
i'm striding through it

i'll take photos throughout the shoot if i can
so that i can show you "my work"

oh i just received the call sheet. no mobile phones of course. i always forget.
call time is 6AM
everyone will be sleepy
i'll certainly be very sleepy
because i'm too vain to leave the house without make-up
so i cannot roll out of bed and go
i have to make sure i look okay
which sometimes is quite a task
but location is luckily not too far from home.
