merry christmas!

He's mine

It's terrible & I feel so guilty...but I think it's love...

black swan

I'm speechless. Amazing. An Oscar to everyone involved.

some fun...

A few days in the lovely Butlins, Minehead. I kind of wish I lived there, and guys like this played every day -









We would all wear ace Christmas jumpers and speak in Scottish accents -

and play endless air hockey tournaments.

recent researches

I've done some amazing stuff recently.

Immersing myself in fantasy lands and set design - fingers crossed my director gets the job!

Christmas is coming...

I love songs with my name in...

"There is a world of peanuts out there..."

Those were the words of the producer on this job. I had the (pretty fun) task of helping to research the little details that make up Mr Peanut's world...

recent stuff -

A few jobs that I've worked on recently have in some way or another been about shafts of light or patches of shadow. A lovely thing to have to immerse myself in...

Multi-continental

I love that I actually needed this function on my iPhone today...


I was working on a job for a New York production company with an Australian director... So crazy that this is normal when only a few years ago it would have been almost unimaginable.

update the rainbow

I gave a hand to the skittles team- shopping for their skittly uniforms

See the finished project here

QR?

I'm slightly obsessed with these things at the moment. You need to download a QR reader onto your phone... point it at this and you get a message.

OK now you've done that, this is for you -

Behind the scenes...

I spent last Friday shooting on a very beautiful level crossing in West Sussex in the most amazing bright autumn weather. This time it was wardrobe assisting for a train commercial, but it won't be on air until next year.

She didn't want to...

I'm quite obsessed with this song at the moment -

Still love Wes Anderson...

I got to work on the mood reel for this (In the very tiniest way I have to admit, through the very awesome Hazel May) Still that's pretty cool & probably the closest I'll get to actually working with my hero Wes...

want one

Might help me out with my autumn resolution to cycle more...

In the kitchen at partes

So this was the reason for this trip. I got to go to Romania to work at the styling assistant on this job. I think its SO cool & love the song.

Venice in winter

This is a good example of why I should be a bit more flexible about what I THINK I like and THINK I hate. Someone told me years ago that Don't Look Now was the scariest movie they'd ever seen, so I decided that never, ever would I watch that movie. Even when Dave and I were in the middle of our obsession with 70s films I wouldn't watch it. It took me having to scan through it for a job to realise that actually it looked pretty amazing.

So yes, the coolness overrides the scary-ness, and I have also developed a bit of a crush on 70s Donald Sutherland. I'm trying to convince Dave to grow his hair long, get a perm and a mustache but I can tell, sadly, he's not convinced.

anonymous mix

To avoid my music snobbishness Kerry has cleverly disguised my new mix CD

We all scream for ice cream

LOVE IT - Forgot how ace this film is. Tom Waits is just awesome

Old things....

I met the very amazing lady who runs this very amazing company. One day I will furnish my whole house with things from here... (all image are from their website - have a look)

Design week party

Lots and lots of champagne + V&A = happiness, hangover & quite amazing photoshop collage

A windy stroll by the sea

I couldn't stop Dave from pulling on some trunks and going for a quick dip-

Amazing Romanian Studio

It's still like summer in Romania. I went out to assist the wardrobe department on an (amazing) Ikea ad. The studio was mental- huge and crumbling with wild dogs running between the stages.









This street was a deserted set held up by huge scaffolding...



This awesome car and fire truck were just hanging around too.

jetsetting

Guess where. So far I've seen lots of mental looking dogs and a shopping center...

Is it a horse or a cow?

Through the lovely and amazing Hazel May I got to work on finding the footage for this ace little film. (That was how I came across this)


Sadly I can't embed it into the blog, but you can see it if you follow this link

Ace cd cover

Best cd artwork I've seen in a while (even though I'm a little biased)
