Life

So this year has been an absolute blast, I've just finished my first term of my final year at Uni. I've been directing my story Luca since I pitched it in October, it's been the most stressful and hectic time of my life, like if I ever thought I was busy before- boy was I wrong. It's been crazy. I've never had more to do in my life. But, it's good. I am learning so many new things and learning more about myself daily. I have a fantastic team of people that I've become unexpectedly great friends with, I am sure that next year will pose more challenges but I'm going to be more than ready.
 I'm restricted to posting too much about the film but it's going okay, as a team we've overcome some serious hurdles. It can only go up.

 Some other things I've been up to include visiting the New Forest on a research trip for the film- as it's set in a forest, we did some research on site. I drove 5 of us there and we researched textures, what things were on the grounds, bark, plants, flowers, scale of trees and much more. We even saw wild horses which was pretty cool. It was a lovely excuse to get out of the routine of studio, work and home and step outside and explore nature.
Another thing cool that happened at uni was I met Rocket the raccoon's cousin- Sox. Sox visited as part of a life drawing class for one of the other graduate films that has a raccoon character. It was so amazing, I feel so grateful I was able to be in the first group to be introduced to Sox, he was so cute and adorable. He was so curious and would just walk around like he owned the place, he wouldn't keep bloody still, I was mesmerised with his characteristics, he's a cheeky little raccoon. 


Here's to 2015
