Volunteering at Sundance London



Volunteering for Sundance was a good experience that i feel like i didnt make enough of. I missed the training day due to Uni commitments, It was a couple days before the event but i was in Leeds and didnt feel like it was worth me coming to London for. I didn't realise how non film related my role was. I was front of house, greeting and welcoming everyone. To people that were turning up to the o2 arena at North Greenwich to see McBusted, it was my job to direct them towards the arena. I was able to speak with other volunteers ofcourse that were doing similar roles but i didn't get a chance to get involved in the theatre roles. I would have loved to of been involved in setting up projectors and being in the nitty gritty. It wasn't all that pointless though as it's an extra piece of ammo i can throw into the CV, as well as this, i now know for future events that I need to ask in future to be placed into other areas if i want to succeed quicker.

Alfonso Cuarón Takes Us on a Journey Through Each Stage of Production for 'Gravity'

http://nofilmschool.com/2013/12/alfonso-cuaron-takes-us-on-a-journey-through-each-stage-of-production-in-gravity/


After watching Gravity, i started questioned myself, would there be any point in me going into the film industry when I cant see myself equal anything as stunning or breath taking as this film. I was immersed in the whole experience and felt that i was in Space.

The reason i am heading towards the film industry is because I want to be creating the next gravity. The technology is getting better and i cant wait to one day get my hands on the latest bits of equipment to help tell a unique story.
