XAVIER STORIES​

Big hellos to you all and how are we? I hope you’re all fantastic, and not too cold, or if you are reading this from somewhere hot and fabulous...WOO, you lucky thing!

Today I will be telling you all about a lovely little set of films I worked on with a wonderful group of people from the one and only 1185films, led by the wondrous man of the moment, the year, Nick Franco and featuring the fantastic clothes of  the amazing Brian Clarke. Wow... what a dream to work with!

Well, it started out as a “maybe 12 hours” shoot.  Which eventually rolled on and on... for 28 hours! But I’ve learned this is what you have to get used to when you are in this game and for me, the main thing is that you have to love it too. As you can see, it was so worth it.



So I say... always have as much coffee and chocolate and sugar as you can to keep going, especially during night shoots. And dress for the cold and take more warm stuff with you too. About 3 in the morning is when you’ll start to feel it all (the cold, the tiredness, the waiting around). But don’t forget to look after your stars, keep a big smile on your face and always have fun. Everyone will appreciate it.

There are 6 short films. I could tell you about all the hair and makeup I did, but instead, why don’t you just have a look? And please do tell me what you think of them .
Enjoy!

WELL HELLO To you all , xxxxxxxx and welcome back again , nice to see you oo and like the shoes. Very nice..........

​

i hear you ask , how does he know . ? Well look under your desk I have a camera there, ha ha ha no not really. You just always look good, xx well back to what is going on today. Well I be going to tell you about the time i was hired to work in Las Vegas. Yes Vegas,,,,,, wow. it was cool when I got the call, ha ha I am off to the USA. WOW i was thinking and what WONDERFUL feeling it was  .

I will tell all what I had to do. Well three to four days prep. And then out there to do 9 ladys full hair and make up. They were all high flying Cirque du Soleil ladies. And all from the USA all lovely and beautiful. And very good at what they do. As you can see in the clip I have found on the net. .well the job was for JCB. Yes JCB. The tractor people, I had to make them look like show girls, so every day I had to remake the false hair peaces. So starting at 6.30 in the morning I was alone to do all, put the hair in and do a lovely make up job. Lasses and all they had 5 shows a day and ones there makeup was done it was a fast touch up for each show. oo air misses .

And then at the end of the day remake and set all the hair again, so all you people that think it is a glam job, think again. I did not stop till about 9.30 ish every night, and then go eat alone, and then bed to get up at 5.30 to shower and do my hair and make up. Coz you always have to look good when you are working. Well I think so. And all so having to help the dresser to fix all the costumes every night as well. It was a lot of work but i loved it . i had the last day to myself well they say that , but you still have to pack all you stuff up and get ready to leave , so I had a few hours to play and lose ha ha ha glad i did not waste a lot of money . Just $50 ha ha ha oo big spender I hear you say. Well,,, sod that I am not going to work all of that time just to loses it. Well if you would like to see just go press play, hope you like it . And just think how many times I had to listen to the same music. Ahhhhhhh but good job i got to like it and now every time i hear it i think of VEGAS ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, XXXXXX  just click on a photo .
