TV Time

We have a TV crew of 3 (Matt, Kevin & Nicola) in the house today.  They are filming an episode of "Extreme Homes" for HGTV for the American Market.

They will be working here for today and tomorrow and will end up with about an hours film which will be edited down to 5 minutes!!!

Ciaran is working hard doing lots of dialogue to camera and showing of all the special features of the house.

Here is director Nicola and cameraman Kevin up on the roof filming.  This was a camera set up on a piece of equipment with huge weights at the end if it - I can only imagine what their excess baggage charges for all their equipment on the airplane was!

Cameraman Matt filming the front room (he's kneeling on an amazing Jan Kath rug, loaned to us by Conrad in RugArt).

Here is Ciaran doing a close up of the wood cladding in the studio.

The crew are such a team of professionals, extremely thorough and very pleasant to boot.  They do their work without leaving a trace that they have been there - it is very impressive to watch how they work.

The sky looks great in the above pic - I'm glad Ciaran got the window washer out this week.

Ciaran points out the concrete wall detail

While Kevin & Nicola worked downstairs with Ciaran, Matt worked away filming the upstairs on his own.

I do like how the Laura Ashley wallpaper looks in this picture!

I should mention that Bones the dog was not allowed in any shots.  He would mess up the continuity by being in different spots in different shots.
