Millennium FX Studio

Today's task was to call Millennium FX and the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

Well I have got another person to look at my work during the work experience period. The Millennium FX Studio in London is happy to look in on my Doctor Who Character design project. I am to be in contact with the Project Coordinator, Kate, who will in turn pass my work on to the creative team. They might be able to find somebody who has actually worked on the Doctor Who programme.

I also asked if I was able to visit during my time in London, but as they have a no visitor policy this was not possible. It's a real shame but I understand. Of course they have a lot of projects running in there which the general public is not supposed to see before they are released.

A quick overview on Millennium effects. From my research I can see that they are the leading studio in the creation of Character Design and special Effects Prosthetics for European TV and Film. They have also done work for overseas projects such as the TV mini-series the 10th Kingdom, Inkheart, The Hobbit and so many others.

So that's absolutely brilliant.

I don't know whether the Globe can help me yet. I did the fatal mistake of using the word work experience on the phone which immediately threw the lady into the idea I was looking for I placement. I now know to say, I am studying Illustration and will soon be doing a project which requires the opinion of professionals in the field. After explaining that I was looking for someone to look at my work I managed to get the correct email addresses to email for the Globe Theatre, the marketing and merchandise managers. So I shall be emailing them tomorrow to see if they are able to help.

I may hate getting on the telephone but it sure as hell works :D!!!
