THE PINK PATCH: RUNNING ON A CORPORATE PSC PRODUCTION - October 2008

Louise writes: "'The 'Pink Patch' project was a great experience for me. Working on the outside broadcast in Huddersfield as a runner developed my skills working with new clients. I was working alongside Director Jonathan Robinson from Bellyflop.tv. It was great watching Jonathan at work, as I could see what a professional who has been connected to 'CELEBRITY LOVE ISLAND' and 'I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE, was capable of.
The shoot was a corporate video for an American company who make the appetite-supressant slimming aid 'Pink Patch'. After putting together hundreds of pink balloons, I assisted with the production in dealing with the guests, and helping with the crew. It involved a long, long day: I had to prize my eyes open as I drove home in the early hours of the next morning. I got some great contacts within the industry: two camera operators who have both been involved with 'MOST HAUNTED', and a make-up artist from 'CORONATION STREET'. A fab piece of paid work experience, and I even got myself some samples of the famous Pink Patch - no slimming results as yet, although I am that hungry I may end up eating the bloody things!!'
