Kate's version of Extreme


So you may all be wondering what extreme and awesome exploits have been happening in the world of the PieMaster in the last while... it may be a different version of extreme but a week of no sleep, 3 sets built and 3 intese days of filming gotta count for something. It was the shoot for Dave's next short film, 'Junk' and I took on the daunting role of art department to create the world out of junk mail...



We (meaning myself, Dave and anyone else we could rope in, namely my sister Anna!) constructed 2 sets that were of the same room but on different axis of gravity, and completely covered in junk mail, using copious amounts of spray adhesive which left us with infested looking feet and glue-inhalation hangovers! I had 20 mins sleep on the night before the shoot, lying amongst the junk in a blanket so was relatively useless for the first day of filming, haha.


The room is basically supposed to be the make-believe world centre for junk mail production/distribution, (Dave is a creative man!) and so there are crazy junk claws and trays and chutes and slots...

One gravity...


and then the other!


And of course there had to be a bad guy. But can you see him?













Even ol' Stew got a cameo role!
And it wouldn't belong here if there weren't some dangerous stunts involved!






So all in all it was a crazy time, but well worth it. You better keep your eyes posted for Dave becoming an international success in no time!

Hey dear,
sorry haven't looked at the page for a while. I seem to have noticed that on the other gravity stage, on piece of supermarket advertising for the Supersaver Pack'n Save mince that I specifically intended to keep has been spoiled and covered in glue. How can I get it back???? and when???
I hear you are due for a soon departure, has it already happened? Will give a call soon.
Hard to resist a toe lick on your gollum-like appendices.
