THANK YOU!

So I've had some tremendous support over the past three months from family and friends, to businesses around London. Here's a quick shout out to those who helped along the way!

  • Rob Schubel: For helping me with grip on two or three shoots around London, he lugged my equipment around unconditionally and was always willing to lend a hand!
  • Tom Prendergast: For giving me honest valuable feedback on my first script and the multiple incarnations of the application sequence.
  • Ben Pickles: For loaning me his mixing thingy & microphone, allowing me to record my voiceover for the final sequence and other various bits and bobs. He's also shown the true test of a friend and put up with nothing but bestjob conversations for the past three months!
  • Matt Johnson: For patiently sitting next to me at work & checking my blog posts for grammatical inconsistencies.
  • e-scuba: For loaning me the wetsuit for shooting the underground sequence and the publicity stunts in front of Big Ben.
  • Calumet Photographic: For loaning me equipment used for the underground shoot.
  • RumbleHQ: For passionately allowing me the time off to pursue my dreams!
  • The ning community: You guys rock, you've given feedback when requested and supported in times of need. I've made some fantastic friends.
  • To everyone who appeared in the application: Thanks for allowing me to film you, photograph you and for the incredible patience you had with me.
  • Alex Falkiner: For giving me fantastic feedback on the site.
  • My sister Anthea, friends: Jodie Mcleod, Jane Emerton, Penny Langton & Mum: For taking the time to read through my drunken first draft of the 500 word story, and then having the integrity to give their honest opinions.
  • Mum: For badgering me all the time, annoyingly prompting me to blog and get things done. Tough love.
  • Dad: For never doubting and always encouraging, for tracking down friends, family and community and galvanizing them to vote!

Of course a special thanks to the skeptics, cynics and naysayers out there. You guys are brilliant, you motivate and focus me in ways I couldn't imagine.

    Hey James,

    I have just looked at all the entries for the Best Job after a paper here in NZ commented that our very own Clarke Gayford was in the running.

    However in seeing your video, scoping out the blog pages of your sites and looking at your pics I very much hope you get the job; it would be well deserved.

    You are clearly extremely talented and seem like a bloody nice bloke too. So best of luck from me, a fellow traveller.

    All the best, Miranda
