Hi everyone!
This week's been full-on on the filming front, Monday, Tuesday and tonight (Thursday)- so I've uploaded some pics of Tuesday, with Rene. The location was at The Falmouth Hotel (what great views - we just love Cornish weather!)
Picture two is Rene relaxing between shoots - he always has his phone in his hand and is never off business duty. It was sweltering with the lights and the sun pouring in and Rene didn't want to be 'shining'.
Picture 3 is Rene grilling Heather and I over our business 'Big Idea', an e-business called Kisses That Count. We are about three months behind schedule with the website build. Determined to go live in mid July, though. If you want to know more, keep reading, as the weeks get closer! The temperature soared as we tried to defend our corner!
Picture 4 is Julius, our fab cameraman, who was embarrassed to be on the opposite side of the camera, for once. He's just got a brand new baby boy, who looks like he's going to be as huge as his dad!
Picture 5 is Julius and Nic, our sound guy. This is just a tiny bit of the equipment these guys have to cart around everywhere. At least two thirds of any shoot is getting it all set up and making sure everything is working in conjunction. Last time Nic worked with us at the Royal Cornwall Show 2005, Heather forgot she was mic'ed up and dropped a £2000 new mic of Nic's down the toilet! Poor guy had to go off and count to a thousand.....
All this equipment and palavar always makes me feel a bit inadaquate - as if we are interesting enough to merit all this effort! But its always fun and the crew is great... Next I hope to introduce you to Jamie, our Producer, Sian our Asst Producer and Sarah, the Series Producer, so keep an eye out!
Also, I'll soon be adding new paintings to www.chloesart.com for two new exhibitions happening in London in September and October. Rene Carayol will be hosting each with me and you are all invited! Again, dates and venues will be posted on the site and on this blog.
Please do get in touch and introduce yourself!! I'm always delighted to chat. Try info@chloesart.com or reply here.
Possibly huge celebrity news coming for Kisses That Count too...
Anyway, all the best to all
Love Chloe
