Lucky Quid

Spent all weekend working on Andy's new short film, The Lucky Quid. It was a tough shoot, as we were outside the whole time (it was freezing) and I did a lot of set dressing under a filthy rail bridge. I still haven't been able to clean my nails properly :)

They say 'don't work with children or animals'. Well, this weekend we did both. Our child actor was pretty intransigent on Saturday, but was blessedly well-behaved on Sunday. We also did a sequence with a couple of rats, which turned out to be a cakewalk - without a single escape attempt!

I know it's cold, but that's only going to keep him warm for a few seconds...
