The Dark Side of the Earth: July 20th, 2006

Had another meeting at The Model Unit, this time with one of the interested development producers along too. Mike duly impressed her, aided by the half scale miniature tube tunnel his team are in the middle of constructing for Keira Knightley’s new movie. Two guys were painstakingly sticking miniature tiles to it. Dave the Dalek has taken up a new position to cover the main entrance, the better to exterminate any intruders, and should any succeed in getting past, a sign from Red Dwarf VI informs them on exit that they are “now leaving existence”.
It makes it all the more laughable that I’m building a miniature airship out of cardboard boxes, to be peopled with cheap (59p, oh yes) “Corps” action figures (“Rule the Skies!”) for the videomatic, which I’m shooting on Monday with my friends Rob and Jen. They don’t call me the Spielberg of Hereford for nothing.
