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. I got to hear about the call out through the Volunteer Co-ordinator at the Just So Festival I worked out over the summer. 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. We also got to watch the band perform which was amazing! It was nice chatting to the band members (I think there were 10 altogether) about what they studied and being musicians. 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.
