We’re one week into the final block of the hit series Skins, filming episodes 9 and 10 and so far, so good! On Tuesday, we did a 6 page scene around a table, which took 7 hours to shoot. Because after about 4 hours we were starting to get pretty bored of sitting there and saying the same lines again and again we tried to think of games to play. After a few different alphabet games April came up with the game of putting the word ‘tampon’ into film titles. Some of our favourites were ‘Tampon wars’, ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of tampons’ and ‘O’ tampon where art’ thou’ to name a few. This morning I was in only about half an hour before someone in the camera department managed to break the dishwasher.
I spent yesterday driving around the streets of Bristol in a mini for some shots for the final episode. Was nice and small for 3 people and a camera and just stank of carbon monoxide fumes, which almost killed us all. We have now realised as well from doing this that no one in Bristol looks when crossing the road! So let that be a warning, you could die! Was fun though, better than spending all day in a freezing cold studio.Also we found out today there will be a skins calendar 2008. For anyone who wants a sneaky peak, there’s your Mr February:
