Nasty Collectors people lept on me first thing in the morning with the interview questions. So no photos of that and I really do wish I could have a do over. Never mind, I'm sure they'll make me sound coherent (and, hopefully, a little mad)
Then it was time to move onto the closeups. Here's Justin plotting how to approach my Reac chair display (while muttering how Adrian would kill for them)
and Greg shooting them:
Justin and Greg discuss a scene they've shot earlier (I think the conversation went something along the lines of "We could have her walk in this side, stop about here and say something. What do you think?"):
Back in The Room of Temporary Non-Shame, Greg sets up the lighting for a scene we did shooting me through the window of the Triang
and tests it out from my side of the shot: 
Me, overact? NEVER!
(But TV isn't as glamorous and exciting as you might think...)
Greg shoots the other Triang as Justin and I act as stage hands, opening the fronts just so. Several times:
During the filming of The Mickey flat (one of my earliest miniature creations),
Justin gets sidetracked, asking if I actually knitted this
which opens the way for me to show him some real miniature treasures:
Over in the other corner of the room you might notice there's a party happening (and the puking man has moved houses)
At 2pm, while eveyone's concentrating on work
I'm concentrating on the growling of my empty stomach
and, since TV people appear not to need to eat, I grab my standard go to snack du jour: cold rice pudding eaten from the can
(Because, you know, TV is so glamorous...)
While I'm munching the team works on. Greg tries to create a flickering TV effect upstairs as the party rages on below
(he's hoping to add me into the right hand side of this shot due to the magic of the blue screen*)
(Oddly, the team seem to be a little obsessed with shooting footage of rooms with TVs in them)
Finally, very late in the afternoon, they get to the Kaleidoscope House, which is lit up like a giant boiled sweet:
Then, after Miss Daisy vomits her hidden contents onto my kitchen floor, we head up the road to the ABC studio. Miss Daisy seems to think that if she parks here she might become a TV Crew car. I didn't want to dash her hopes...
Inside, the crew ponder how they're going to approach the challenge of getting me into my dolls houses
before Justin and I check the authenticity of the ABC's reception's Swan chairs
(Big thumbs up for the ABC then!)
(Have I mentioned that working in TV is glamorous?)
By this stage of the day my brain is starting to hurt as I go through the "So I start with the chair pointing in this direction, say these works to the camera, smile (in a natural way) before swinging around to face that miniature TV screen that I can't actually see on the green cloth?"
But, finally, around 5pm, we're done. It's a wrap (or whatever the official phrasing is...)
Now I have to wait patiently to see the end result...
(*Which ended up being the green screen because I was wearing jeans and they didn't want me to to be legless)

(Probably for the same reason that coffee puts me to sleep...)
It could have been worse...
(Not only on this room but the rest of the house*. Plus they brought nibbles and bubbles for afternoon tea. I'm very lucky to have such supportive friends. Thanks guys!)
perhaps it's what you're supposed to eat when you've just failed your exams?
(when I get around to it...)
After work: Off to the

it became clear that our table was that crazy table you have at every wedding reception (in the nicest possible way...) We
