I'm working with a lovely guy who has already won a BAFTA for producing and is now cutting his teeth as a director. There is no pissing about. He won his BAFTA as a first time producer so there is fuck all pressure on me to rise to his dizzy heights...
So, I thought, I'll have a bash at this producer malarky. I'll tell everybody what to do and flounce about threatening to sack people who refused to salute me or bow as I wafted by. What an amazing life, I thought.
It turns out I'm a proper producer which means I actually have about 48 jobs and am responsible for about 800 different people over 50 departments!
Fortunately, I'm a bit OCD and my PA and Office Manager 'toy job' experience can kick in. I've colour codes for things. I've separate folders for separate films. It's a bit anal. I've spreadsheets organising my spreadsheets. I have so much information in my brain at any one time that I can feel matter seeping out of my ears.
I'm loving it though!
I'm currently working on a series of 12 short films and a Zombie music video. We have no SFX guys so I'm making the fake blood. I'm not sure the guys from Halloween are panicking just yet but give me time. I'm a quick learner!
Anyway, here's some pics of my first attempt at 'fake blood making'. I have purposely gone with different colours, with the more brown of the 3 bottles representing 'period blood', which I thought was a nice touch!
