After Birth-Day!

Hey guys I disappeared again. Lots have happened. I finished that mask I was working on! It looks great!
I had my birthday, I'm officially 23!
It was so much fun! Sean woke me up with a ginormous cup cake! Later we met up with The Lovely Rose and went to see Dark Shadows. And then after we had a bbq! And if i haven't raved enough about Seans cooking skills I'm going to. He had like 5 kinds of marinate, steak , shrimp, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, strawberry and banana short cake w homemade syrup. We were stuffed and then he surprised me with a hello kitty cake! Seriously, Sean is the best!
Yesterday I did a face painting gig which was so much fun! Lots of butterflies and spiderman. The party also had a Rapunzle and a Little Mermaid! These girls rocked!  And were so nice. And tomorrow back to the lab!

Power and Tools!

Today at the lab was so much fun! I got to see Billy again, he brought by the power washer so I could clean the side of the building. They spray painted some graffiti for the film they were shooting. However the power washer just peeled off the regular paint. And while I was inside looking for a paint roller to repaint the side of the building , some maintenance guys showed up and painted the wall. I guess they thought people were tagging our wall. Either way I got to use the power washer and soaked my pants.
After that I used the drimmel tool to fix a seam on a latex head. Followed by two layers of pax paint. Tomorrow Dean is gonna show me how to paint it. I'm excited. I'll posts pic of the paxed and before pax.
But that's pretty much it for today, I'll be there all day tomorrow.

Cop out part 2: on set and staying busy

( this is a catch up)

The shoot went great! I built 3 rooms that looked amazing and was in control of the fog machine all day. Meaning my sinuses were crap. It was worth it though. However let's rewind to the third at about 9:30 pm. Sean and I were getting ready to go see the Avengers, which was awesome. Sean was dressed as captain America and i was normal me. It was so much fun. There was another group in costume which was cool. But any way the movie was from 12am to 2:35am and by the time we got back it was 3. I had to leave to be on set at 6 am so I could be there by 8. Total of 2.5 hours to sleep. Then I was on set till about 9:30 closer to 10pm. Can you say exhaustion. I also need to get some better shoes bc my feet hurt so bad that day.
But all is well out here! Sean and I are.making plans for my birthday Friday! Any way that's catching you up!

Cop out part 1 : What's my job again?

(the blog I wrote for the third)

So yesterday I was partner up with Billy Jett to do production design for today. Last night my home work was to find cop and crime scene photos that are to be used for Deans film. After an hour or so i had to quit , like I've said before I have a weak stomach. I would have been done sooner but I didnt want to use famous crime scenes like Dalmer or Buddy. You guys should have seen the look the girl at staples gave us when we went to print them out!
So from there we went to Linda Vista Hospital, which is used for filming and very haunted. And where do they start me to work ? The basement! The creepy, dark, basement! With long halls, fake blood everywhere, It's like Silent Hill! I was just waiting for something to rip my skin off. But the point of the basement was to build and repaint an interrogation room. Blood was all over there too hence the painting. And a kick ass table! Tyrone and i had it done within an hour.
From there my task was to set up the chapel for a funeral scene. I love that I'm trusted enough to set up a whole scene. Tomorrow were adding the casket. And from there I framed cop photos and "certificates" so the cops office looked like an office. It looked amazing! I can't wait to see this film and point out 20 different things I worked on.
The other cool part is that was all done before 2! I had to work at four, but I'll be there all day tomorrow. I just have to take a massive bus trip to get there. It will be worth it though. And I'm pretty sure Billy wants me out of makeup and in production design. Who knows maybe I'll be a Jack of All Trades.
And tonight the Avengers!

Crime scene and coffin baby

So today i spent most of the day at the lab preparing props and such for the film this weekend. Made a machette (if that's how you spell it)  and also spent a good portion of my time digging through the storage shed. I'm also working with the production designer tomorrow and Friday. He had me look up some pics of crime scenes so we can print them out for the shoot. I hope they like the ones I have because real gore makes me queezy. I'm thinkin helping this production designer out is a really good thing.
Also I'm going to see the midnight showing of the avengers tomorrow with Sean! Busy week end.

Bon-do Bon-don't

Today at the lab was an off day. I felt like everything i touched I killed. Pretty much I felt like I had my tail between my legs all day. Towards the end I was patching up a head with bondo and I noticed I had to leave to go to work. I left another intern to continue my patch job. Then I snuck out not really wanting to look people in the eye. I thought I messed up big time on a piece. Turns out I really didn't, I'm just a person who really is afraid of disappointing people.
I eventualy texted the boss man and said:
Had to go to work, sorry I messed up a lot.
I got a text back saying :
The only thing you messed up on was not saying goodbye. It's a learning process.
Do I work for an awesome guy or what? That really made me feel better. Tomorrow I'm off from the castle so I can stay longer at the lab.

Right now I'm at work and there's this kid who always comes in, he's like 4. He screams he curses he fights, and Hates me! It started because I wouldn't let him leave without his parent. So he pulled out a plastic pink dagger and pointed it at me, then cursed at me. His grandpa came and got him and the kid scratched him in the face! I've named him Omen. I'm sure he's pure evil.

But any whooooo
Im expecting tomorrow to be a better day. And if I'm motivated I'll clean my room tonight.
