In a fantastic piece of luck, I had the opportunity to meet a couple of workers from Snow Business!
This may come out sounding pretentious, though I hope it doesn't, but I have a strong belief that for designers, especially theatre, every thing should be able to influence your designing. Examining real life, people watching, even day to day tasks should be able to help you - and sometimes in the most unexpected ways! After working on shows for free, I have found some temporary paying work to tide me over for the time being - a topic that is currently much in discussion with recent post-grads.
I have been taken on in a Christmas Grotto for the season, and was lucky enough that the people who had been hired by the company to do their snow effect was Snow Business! For any who dont know, Snow Business are the company that does the snow effects for pretty much anything you see on film and television - they've done the 'Narnia' and 'Harry Potter' films, 'Les Miserables', 'Snow White and the Huntsman', 'The Day After Tomorrow', and a vast amount of other films, television shows and adverts. I was lucky enough to be able to chat to them while they were working and find out more about what they do - they are very impressive as a company in what they can do and everything they have worked on (and over 200 different types of snow and ice effect). They are based in Gloucestershire, and if you have a chance to look at their website and see what they have worked on and what they do I can very much reccomend it!
