Charlotte’s Blog!

Last week on Wednesday Bus Stop Films went to visit the ABC’s Ultimo Studios and we had two tour guides take us around to visit and show us around we firstly went to visit giggle and hoot rehearsals in the rehearsal room where they were filming a new music video song about tooth brushing and we got to hold the puppets of Giggle and Hoot and ask the cast members questions and see half the filming on set which was pretty cool and we also got to hold the props which were made by the art department !

It was so awesome to be on the set of Giggle and Hoot.

Best Day!

And Stef our film school teacher also let us have a sneaky treat of donuts which were very tasty as everyone raved about ! Next we went to visit the radio control room and see where staff do radio interviews and bands play which was pretty cool and awesome as everyone enjoyed seeing . Next we went to visit the rehearsal studio to watch play school rehearse the rocket clock which was very cool but funny as well . And we also got to see the set in the studio and get photos after each take in rehearsals as everyone was amazed ! We then went to visit ABC NEWS 24 hour desk, we got to all have a group photo behind the desk which everyone really thought was awesome. After we finished our excursion tour the ABC were very generous with making us a very lovely catered lunch with sandwiches and juice and water which everyone raved about we all had a ball at the excursion.

We got to read the news!!

All smiles at the ABC.
