This weekend I
went down to London to assist Abi Sehmi, the set dresser/stylist on a music
video shoot for a band called Perhaps Contraption. The day was really long but fun, assisting Abi dressing the space
ready for filming. We had to move things around during the shoot to suit
different camera angles, and to not inter fear with the projections. It was really useful chatting to Abi about where she sources materials for
projects and what other things she works on, which is a lot. She also plans
events/parties all around London and tours the festivals in the summer with the
events company she works at. It made me realise that this industry is really
faced paced and no job is permanent. A lot of people don't do just one thing,
so meeting the right people is essential to get your name out there and finding
work. But it is a fun atmosphere would love to do something like this again.
