A PEEK BEHIND THE SCENES

Here are 16 fascinating images that give you an inside perspective as to what happens behind the camera on iconic movie sets such as The Terminator, Iron Man, Star Wars, JAWS, The Muppets, Titanic, The Dark Knight and Inception. We’ve even included recent releases like Tarantino’s impressive Django.

There will always been an element of magic & illusion when it comes to making movies, but as you’re about to see, that magic rests entirely in the hands, vision & imagination of those working away on set. Love it!

Most Shocking Second a Day Video

A BRUTALLY POWERFUL FILM

This is an advert by Save the Children and another example of how powerful video can be when telling a story. The video coincides with the build up to the third anniversary of the Syrian crisis, which has left 100,000 people dead and 2 million more as refugees.

Seeing this little girl bear the brunt of the violence is a powerful way for the issue to resonate with the public a little closer to home.

On-screen text at the end reads: "Just because it isn't happening here doesn't mean it isn't happening."

A LITTLE GLAMOUR FOR A CHANGE!

Thought it might be nice to introduce my niece (in law) to you - The Miss Polly Rae - a talented singer and extraordinarily beautiful burlesque dancer.

Just having returned from a five week tour of Australia, Polly has had her own show in the West End as well performing in many other exotic countries around the world. The show is different from most burlesque shows that it is done a little tongue in cheek and while it is both erotic and beautiful - it is also inoffensive and funny - which has the effect of attracting a lot of women and girls to the show.

Her début West End Show was produced by Kylie's creative director William Baker and Kylie came to meet her in her dressing room after the show - she said she loved it!

I'm still waiting for her to ask me to make a video for her...!
