When we had our first meeting of term 3, Luke mentioned about an Indie Film project that one of his old friends was making and that they were in need of a Houdini effects artist. As Houdini is the programme I want to specialise in, I thought this would be a great opportunity to see what it was like to collaborate with other people in a live project. This will either solidify my choice to specialise in Houdini or make me realise I would rather be working else where. I will be letting Luke know before Wednesday that I would like to join this project. I was the one to initiate the last project so I think it would be a nice change to work with someone else’s idea this time as this is more realistic in my first job, so is good to get the practice.
I would like to know more about this Indie film so will ask Luke to give a more in depth briefiing and what my role as a Houdini artist will have to do. This way I can prep and research the kind of work I would be asked to do. I am interested in speaking to others who also want to take part in this role. It would be nice to collaboration specifically in the Houdini role as we are all learning and can only make us stronger.
