start: gabriel week 1

Wednesday after gits i got my first taste of being on a film set. I really had no idea what i was meant to be doing but i was there to help. After finding my way out to Rozelle college of arts at a nice early time of 8am i first started helping out catering by setting up a marquee. First there were no instructions and secind they were missing the vital centre piece. I got it working and then i was moved on to art dep. I had my first experience at using spray cans on walla but it didnt take me long to get the hang of it.

The first week we spent out at rozelle down in the tunnels below the art school. They used to be a passage for mental patients that werent allowed onto the kings road and could only be transported by boat along the harbor. But we found them a suitable place for filming. So all wed i spent at rozelle but half way through thurs i headed of to a new location with victor the production designer to work on more sets. We headed out to bourke rd in alexandria and started work on the soup kitchen exterior and interiors. Weve been at bourke rd until today being tuesday the end of the first week.

Ive been painting burning building moving cable bashing and even acing as a extra in the soup kitchen. Its been fun but the 12hrs are starting to get to me. Today was a slow day for me and everything i did was sluggish. Im having a great time and meeting great people along the way. cant wait for more fun filled excitement.
