Hello everyone!!
How's everything going?? Well, wherever you are...I hope all is well. It's Thursday here in Sydney, around 10:45 in the morning. We're rehearsing in studio today, finishing up a week of episodes. We just met with Chris Harriot and learned new songs for the shows. Karla is up now with Body Moves, so I have a little break before it's time for Puzzles. Anyhoo, I just wanted to share with you guys all that's been going on for the past 2 days...We've finished filming 4 songs of the weeks!! FOUR!! And it was awesome!! Jenn and I had the early call on Tuesday...5:45!!...that they we could sit in the makeup chair and have the beautiful ladies in the hair room get us all HI-5ed up!! It was great. They're so fabulous!! I mean, you've seen all the MILLION of hair styles that they do for the show. They really are artists...and good ones too!!
I want to share the names of the songs with you..but I think that might be a suprise. It was really great getting back into filming the songs again. Like filming the episodes...it's as if we've never left. We had so much fun dancing and singing to our new songs!! I mean don't get me wrong...the songs from the first series were AMAZING!! But I KNOW that you will all just be so blown away by the new series.....everything is going to be AWESOME!! Can you tell how excited I am?? I'm using all caps:)
Whenever we film for song of the week.....we do a runthrough with just us so that we can have a little time on stage and also get some shots of us looking at the camera...cause once the kids come in...it's all about them!! And boy were they rocking!!!! These kids were great!! They really were into it!! It's so much fun to perform for them...even though they don't watch our series...the songs and the energy of HI-5 just take over!! It's funny because most of the kids get confused at first...I can't tell you how many times Jenn was called "Charli" or "Kellie"...another girl in the audience couldn't get over the fact that I "looked" like Kathleen...it was really cute. Like our Mall tour show...Cicc warms the kids up by dancing with them(You know how excited he gets with that kind of stuff)...and that gives the director and the cameras a chance to get great shots of the kids dancing. Shaun and I peeked into the editing room earlier today and got a sneak peek of one of the songs...it looks great!! EXCITEMENT!!
We were also able to watch an edited version of one of the songs...it has something to do with music...and it's very "rocky"....oh, I want to say more...but I don't think I can....I wish I could guys. Anyhoo, the song that we saw looks great. You can just see how much fun we're having...and that's good because we're having tons of fun(or heaps as they would say here:)) I really am excited you guys. I heard a rumour floating around the other day that it's possible(don't quote me on this) that the episodes might start airing sooner than planned...keep your fingers crossed!!
Alrighty, I think I have to go now. Curtis and Jenn are rehearsing and then I think I'm up. Yay!! I love you guys and I hope all your days are happy!!
Love love,
Kimee
ps....A very special shout out to my Rock Star Lauren....happy belated girlie girl!!
