Ghosts of Albion | Extras | Amber's Diary
17th December

Pink Elephants

Last night. Was very tipsy! Had a bottle and a half of this very interesting beer called Delirium Tremens. All I have to say is that it had pink elephants on the bottle. Alex had to keep me propped up on the seat. The pub was so crazy - felt like it was built for hobbits or something.

Today went even better than yesterday and we finished everything ahead of schedule. I have never been so relieved in my entire life. I was so paranoid that we weren't going to get it all in time, but we did! I kept looking over at Martha. She and I had both been super worried, but as the day drew closer to an end and things weren't falling apart, even the two of us worry-warts had to smile.

One of the last things we recorded was the opening - basically Jasmine's voice-over giving us the background of Albion and all the legacy stuff. After all the screaming and running around Jasmine did, I couldn't believe that she was able to turn around and give such a chilling reading. It gave me goosebumps. She gave me exactly what I wanted.

I had loved the opening of The Lord of the Rings so much - Cate Blanchett is a goddess - that I really wanted that feel for Ghosts. Jasmine nailed it.

Chris was an angel during the recording. He answered questions for the actors, critiqued the stuff we rehearsed and was basically an invaluable part of the process. My sister kept taking pictures of him when he wasn't looking. It was pretty funny.

All in all, the going was tough, but we - as a team - pulled it off. Isn't it amazing to think that we all came from different countries, different ways of working and thinking, even, and we were able to create something beautiful together.
