Twas the week before Christmas, and Paul was in a stropp
Not a creature was stirring, but the jobs did not stop.
The talent were watching there phones all aware,
In hopes that a text from Paul would be there;

A big thank you to everyone who has made 2018 another great year. We’ve got big plans and look forward to seeing all of your great work on our screens in 2019.

Merry Christmas

Important Dates:

14th December 2018 – Office shuts for interviews – but film and TV productions still running

21st December 2018 – Film and TV productions shut down

2nd January – Office opens for interviews

7th January – Film and TV productions start up again

This is not a weird version of the 12 days of Christmas. This is what is happing right now in the final weeks of the year and will be continuing into the new year too.

We have Frayed and Unlisted expected to run through January and possible February.

Helen Reddy biopic I am Woman has been shooting through November and December and may continue through January too.

Then we have Peter Rabbit 2 which is in pre-production with shooting to start in the new year.

Finally we have dozens of TV Commercials shooting including Lambd Australia, Fox Sports, Skoda, Big W, Mad Mex, Aldi, Telstra and Visa in the last week alone. Often this does slow down over January but picks up again in February.

It’s all part of the set for the sequel to the Peter Rabbit movie that is about to start filming here in Sydney. It’s a pretty big deal with 1500 local jobs to be created as part of this production. For MCTV people it’s a great opportunity to be a part of a major international production. There were around 60 MCTV people on the original Peter Rabbit movie so we have our fingers and tails crossed for some great roles in the latest instalment. For more pictures of the set construction see the Sydney Morning Herald.

There’s a great article in the SMH about one of the lead actors Nicole Chamoun and her determination to get the role of Amirah in the new series of On The Ropes Starting tonight (Wednesday 28th November) on SBS at 8:30pm or on SBS on demand. Over 50 MCTV background actors will be keeping an eye out for their own work in this production too.

Everyone in the office here is super excited that Peter Rabbit 2 has entered pre production and will be filming here in Sydney very soon. A number of people form MCTV have already been given an opportunity to be a part of this production with much more to come over December and January at least. Looks like it will be a busy new year. If you are more on the production side of things or know someone who has the skills, Animal Logic has a bunch of jobs listed on their site at the moment for Peter Rabbit 2.
