Hi! finally more updates of my production. Everything is secured now!  I managed to get the nine kids to film, secured all the actors and I am ready to shoot! Got all the costumes and props done. I had to buy costume for 14 people. But that the way it is.. I would hate to ask my contributors to after their costume plus if they can not get what I am looking for that would compromise the footage . I am exhausted  by now.. I have been working in sets and props since 3 weeks ago, I am in a stage that I don't eat very well, I stopped my leisure and I badly sleep.. worried if the shoot will work out. I am happy with my research, all my props are authentic from the 50s. I managed to get two comics books from 1951 to add as props in the child bedroom, also there is a 5 seconds scene that the mother is preparing a birthday cake, I had to improvising a posh 50s kitchen for that scene. I got in pound shop a few fake tiles and putted over my kitchen surface and added a few props, such as famous magazines from the 50s, and a cake mixer that I borrowed from Niall's mum. The mixer is exactly the same as the one I found in my research. Research context in this film can not be better.

I need the rich boys's cake looks like I was from the 50s, I did a quick research and I will be making that cake. 
 I got in Tesco all the kids costume.. they have to be all grey but grey shirts was far more expansive, I got the cheapest white shirts and now I am dying it as grey with dylon! well that is it for today! I will back now to work in a few more props and pray that the shoot on saturday and sunday will work fine. If anyone wants to come over to see it drop me a line! I am adding the picture of a few extras sets I made and of the props. Ops!! I forgot to say there is a scene where the character reads an article on the newspaper I managed to get online a company in England who does fake newspaper and is already delivered, one of my friend kindly posed for the picture.. have a look!
