A look behind the scenes

This blog post is a shameless cross promotion for another blog. Since December 2010, my sister Bronwen has been writing a blog. No ordinary blog, but a frog blog, called http://frogsfordarcy.blogspot.com/. Darcy is a young friend of hers who has been having treatment at the Sydney Children's Hospital for quite some time now. While in there, he expressed a liking for origami frogs, and the frog blog was born. Bronwen posts on the frog blog every day, which is a huge undertaking. Needless to say, some of the posts are quite bizarre. But some posts have an extraordinary amount of thought and effort put into them. Here's a look at the making of a frog blog story.

It starts with an expedition to Commonwealth Park. (Actually, it all started in Tasmania, with this post here - we asked where frog would end up. Turns out she ended up on Lake Burley Griffin.)

The actors get prepared for their scenes. We scope out some locations and the shoot begins.

It attracts the attention of some locals.

The story grows as we change location and come up with brilliant ideas for what happens next.

The shots in the can, we sit back and wait to see what will unfold on the frog blog.

Huge hats off to Bronwen - the frog blog is often very funny, very clever and means a great deal to Darcy and his family. Might I just say - she rocks.
