Catching up!

I have been really busy lately and have only just got chance to sit down and organise this blog!

The shoot day is 4 days away and we are all starting to get a bit nervous... So many negative thoughts are creeping into my head but the best way is too address them directly... More on that later.

We had a pitch yesterday and ours went very well! Myself, Leanne and Alex were working on a mood board (see below) to express our installation in one screen. We have had the idea of a painters suit to highlight the art of painting as well as dancing, however we're happy to change our minds about this if we do want. The protective goggles are for Theo's benefit, as we don't want him to get paint in his eyes. 

 Below is a picture from a test shot which was done by Louis and Lucy. As you can see the colours do show up nicely on the white sheet- our battle with this is making sure the sheets stay up! So...

We have some white duct tape which we are not going to be stingy with when hanging up the sheets. This is also Kelly modelling the delightful painters suit!

Below is a picture of myself, Leanne and Alex really please with the mood board we just created... It's not posed at all... Promise!

 We are very organised at the moment and this helps a lot with our nerves. Things that crept into my head last night were what if the mixing of the powder paints just creates a huge brown mess?! What if the sheets don't stay put?! What if we mess up our one and only take?! IT'S ALL TOO MUCH!

Our £30 budget is already gone and we've put our hands into our own pockets to get all of the props we need. The paint is really expensive which is why we only have one shot at this.

There will be ways to save the day if it does go to mayhem. Theo could always dance in the painted mess if the powder paint doesn't explode like we are hoping.
It will not be the end of the world but it always helps to have back up plans.
