AS LIVE

Exhaustion and stress has built up to an extreme foul mood. Warning could scream/cry at any given moment. fragile. provoke at your own risk!


CAFT are here now. gotta go.

AS LIVE

Call sheets done, schedules done, consent forms, done (think they were production managers jobs but never mind) recording order done, essay done, questions for quizzes done, stressing - not done, Dog & Gun contestants organized, done, presenter organized, done!

This upcoming week is going to be a long a tiresome one, but also very rewarding. I feel like i actually work for a production company, its weird! I also stayed up til 3.00am last night to complete my essay so that its all done before this hectic week begins! So I am very tired now. Goodnight.

AS LIVE - PROBLEMO

So i had a bad news text last night, and the first problem of probably many - Emma, one of our team members, who is in one of the VT's - dropped out! wah wah wah... :(

SO, as a team we have decided, that we don't have enough time to shoot a new VT, we will carry on with Emma in it, but on the actual shoot day, have the presenter say that emma couldnt make it, maybe make a joke of it like "she got so drunk at the pub last night that she's really ill". And find a replacement for emma on the shoot day.

STRESSSSSSSSSFULL. but we have tackled it, onwards and upwards!

AS LIVE

Went down to the dog & gun this morning and shot the VT, sorted! Had to phone the pub last week and ask if we could film before they even open as russell was only available until lunchtime and they kindly allowed us to. I will have to send them a formal thank you at the end, they have been wicked.
Ant, the presenter came down to, so was nice to chat and touch base with him too.
So, we have 2 teams, a presenter, 2 VTs, check! I think we have half a set too? And I have counted that we have 16 days, including weekends until the shoot!

AS LIVE

Nailed the VT date for monday 18th april,and Dog & gun is tuesday or wednesay.

Eventually we found Troy..

Script is sorted. Pretty much everything is planned, yaaaaay. Today has been like our own little production office in the library. But now im hungryyyy.

AS LIVE

MISSION TROY!

WHERE ARE YOUU?

We need to organise the risk assessments and if you need taking to tonbridge wells tomorrow?? we also need the contact sheet you were asked to do?

AS LIVE.

As live is very very stressful! there is so much involved! most stressful thing probably is getting the contributors to commit to us, its so hard to contact them and get them to agree to dates - but we are getting somewhere.
I phoned Leslie the landlady of the dog & gun last week and she said it was absolutely fine to shoot there, spoken to Ant and he is really happy to be the presenter, so thats awesome. I think one of our team-mates is away at the moment - annoying! so just waiting on him, as the other team mates said that next week was best for them to shoot VT.
We have all come to the campus today to sort everything out - this morning we devised and played our twister game which was fun, and have emailed CAFT to tell them what we need them to make for us for that game. so thats another tick off the list.
Next this afternoon we are going to finish our VT scripts and shot list and hopefully nail a date for both VTs next week. Will and I decided, even though we are producer/director on seperate VTs ( mine being the dog & gun, wills being the fox) that we would BOTH go to both shoots to ensure that the packages look pretty much exactly the same.

tomorrow we are going down to a studio in tunbride wells to see a live news programme, which will be great for me as i'll get to see what the PA actaully does.

Although easter is coming up and im looking forward to a bit of a break, we will still all be working hard otherwise things just wont be ready in time.

Wish us luck!
