BP Productions editing

I haven't written anything for a while and loads has been happening. I'm editing some stuff for this http://www.bpproductions.tv/?page_id=58 production company at the moment. It's not paid but it's great for my showreel. it's for a TV programme the company are trying to sell to a TV channel. It's basically a music show where up and coming bands are interviewed. They are hoping to broadcast the first pilot on the web by April 2nd. I'm editing my third artist at the moment and it's going really well. I wish I could upload something but I can't yet.

Brian who I am making the other film with came to the apartment today as well to discuss everything. I wanted to make the film in a studio but he found a great location apparently in Dalkey. He is gonna meet me this weekend or early next week to go over how he wants the storyboards.

I also applied for a new production that has been given the go ahead by HBO in the states. It's a period programme called The Game of Thrones and will be filmed in northern ireland this summer. I got their phone number as well so I'm going to haunt them for a job.

I'm going out onThursday as well to a fundraiser for my friend Constanze's new production company as well which is quite cool. I really admire her ambition and have spoken to her about possibly working together in the future soon again. Later.

(P.S. Kirsten didn't return my email-yet. I emailed her before about getting experience editing in the factory but she didn't reply yet. I finished the fourth draft of my script too and I'm gonna pay a guy to see what he thinks of it.)

The Factory

I texted Kirsten from the factory today to check in with her and she sai they are still waiting for funding. I asked could I email her about some stuff and she said sure. I mailed about my script and about maybe getting into editing with some of the guys from the factory. Will wait to see what she says. She has been very nice to me actually. Have an interview in Drogheda tomorrow morning for a TV company. It's unpaid but would still be a great opportunity. Hope it goes well.

The Last Furlong

I called the Production manager of The Last Furlong last night to ask about work again. It's the new film being produced in Ardmore Studios. I called her a couple of weeks ago and she said they were going into prep in March. Now she said to call her back in two weeks again cos they are still not in prep. So maybe something will come out of this-she sounds like a very nice woman.

I also have an interview for a FAS job scheme in a TV production company in Drogheda on Tuesday as well but I forgot I have my Motion course so I had to text this morning. The girl in the company said it's fine and she's gonna call me tomorrow.

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy/Motion

I haven't written in this blog for so long cos so much has happened-apart from the fact that my computer has been out of action til today cos my hard drive had to be replaced. I was working as continuity person on the film Fumbing Towards Ecstacy with Ego Trim Pictures on Monday and Tuesday. It was a good shoot-early mornings but got paid so happy. Tried to save some pics from the company website to post up here but can't.

Aside from that I decided to buy the new Final Cut Studio for my mac cos I need the new version of Motion for the training CD that accompanies the book for it to work. My course starts this Tuesday and goes til Thursday. There is supposed to be an exam on Thursday as well but they are allowing me have it at another time cos I'm just new to the programme.

I'm also working for one day on a Drink Aware ad on the 15th of March as continuity person and getting paid for that as well so things seem to be getting better. Was meant to do storyboards as well but the camera crew are doing their own now. Will have to see what happens from there. Still hoping for work on one of these factory films from April. Thinking of ringing Ardmore about a job on this new feature film called 'The Last Furlong' that's in prep this month as well. And still continuing to learn more editing and Adobe stuff to find a job in these areas. Fingers crossed.
