The Evermoor Chronicles

Over the summer, I carried out a week of work experience at Lime Pictures in Warrington, helping to create the sets for their children's programme 'The Evermoor Chronicles' which is based around the idea of a tapestry that can see into the future. Throughout my time there, I made a 12ft square spider web, a 5ft spider cocoon, and a human-sized working 'mouse trap' with the rest of the design team.

I found the experience highly rewarding, and it allowed me to gain some more valuable experience within an industry that I potentially might like to work within after graduating. Furthermore, it will assist me in writing my CP3 work placement report. It was a very hands-on job and allowed me to be creative although I had to work to a given brief set by the production designer, who has also worked for the BBC and ITV. He allowed me to look through his portfolio of work, which was also very enlightening, and I could see how much creativity you can have, even within the TV industry. On other placements I have been on within the same industry, there wasn't really any room to be creative, it was all planned for you and you had to stick strictly to what had been set out.
At the end of the placement, the production designer invited me back after I graduate as they need someone to design all the curtains and wallpapers for the sets as they cannot be outsourced due to advertising restrictions, but they currently don't have anyone that can do that full time.
