Jungle Book and GOT Films

February 8th - February 16th
Alright! I helped with makeup for The Jungle Book. I did very simplistic detailing for the different kinds of animals, monkies, snake, and wolves. It was a lot of fun to get to do more kids makeup, but I wish I would have been able to some crazier styles. But hey! With the time that was allotted for me to do a whole slew of people's makeup, I'm glad it was simplistic. That happened, what seems like, ages ago.

February 16th - Now
I have been in Las Vegas since 6:30 a.m. on February 17th and its been quite an interesting little adventure. The plan was to help on the sets of Pawn Stars and American Restoration but because of GOT Films contracts with the company out of New York that makes both shows, me being an intern without a contract with that specific company makes me a liability on set.

So! I am helping with other projects for GOT Films such as a show they are going to film out here called Mirage. My cousin's husband, Robert Cochrane, is actually the writer/ producer/ actor for this show and I would probably compare it to LOST but in Vegas. HAHA, not sure if thats an appropriate comparison in their eyes, but thats just how I took it.

I have drawn up a storyboard for the intro which is like the beginning of entourage ( here's the clip) but on The Strip here in Vegas. If all goes well, we should be shooting that in about one to two weeks. I'm super pumped for that!

Ok, the most exciting news so far is that I get to meet with makeup artist Jim Sacca tomorrow at GOT Films shop!!!! He's been a makeup artist forever, basically, and I'm thrilled to maybe get to work with him while I'm here. Jeremy, owner of GOT, wanted me to meet him in hopes that maybe he will take me on as an apprentice once I graduate. I can only hope to be that lucky.

In the mean time, I will probably be writing up invoices and office like that until there is a non-contract job later in the week.
