Skill Set Building

On the set of Blacksite.
We got called in to put together the bunker set last minute and had about 2-3 weeks to put it all together in an empty industrial shed at Kingston. My phone was running hot putting the team together, sourcing materials, and at the same time designing how to construct and complete the build in such a short timeframe.

But we dug deep and got it over the line!!! I even had personal praise for the team from the director Sophia Banks herself.
When she arrived on set she said she didnt know what to expect when she arrived due to the rushed circumstances and was so surprised and happy at how amazing it looked and couldn't believe we pulled it off in such a small timeframe.
👏👏👏👊😎 Go team

Went to the Resilient Homes fund forum tonight after work. It was super informative and interesting and answered all the questions I have about the processes and construction techniques.
It's a great job they are doing for so many flood affected home owners, we're proud to be a part of the process in helping 😊👌

I still have the toolbox from when I was about 6 years old that my Dad made for me when he was an apprentice carpenter & that my mum painted when she was just learning to be an artist.

Skill Set built a really cool set for this film & we got to see Christoph Waltz in the flesh, can't wait to see what it turns out like 😁
