Ingrid as Blanche in "Seven and Me" season 2
So it's been a while...
Back in July I left Norway to go shoot in Paris for 3 months - a kids sitcom hybrid show (live action and 3D animation) - based on Snow White and the seven dwarves. Little did I know, when I got here, that Netflix had picked up the show - and it became an even bigger deal than I thought.
It's been such a wonderful ride, I've had such an amazing time, so much that's it's been difficult to keep up with updates on what I've been up to and how things are going. So I thought I'd put in a final thought here before it's time to head back to Norway for a while.
The show, in itself, has been an incredible educational experience, working with green screens and imaginary dwarves (well they're real - but get put in after) - highly technical skills I'd yet to hone, and now I've been able to play around and have a blast.
Working with the kids and the other grown-ups has been such a fantastic experience. These costars are incredibly gifted, generous, and funny - making everyday a joy to come to work. The crew: incredibly skilled, professional, funny, and always making me look my best.
So what's there to say now? Well, I will miss this job, and these people tremendously, but I don't think it's the last time I see them. I have grown to love Paris, and am seriously considering a move here in the new year. If you know me, you know I can't sit still.
Before this gets sappy or sad, I'd just like to say merci a tous, and I hope this is the beginning of something wonderful.
