Presenting our Burton Tour Guides

by ACMI on 03. Jun, 2010 in Other

As part of Tim Burton: The Exhibition, we put out a special call for tour guides, asking under 18s to show us their tour-guiding skills for the chance to meet Tim Burton and lead a special tour through the exhibition.

Well, the response was amazing! We received 75 applications from all over Australia and you really knocked us out with your creativity and passion. But alas, we couldn’t give the job to everyone. So after much deliberation by our judges, we’d like to announce that our Burton Tour Guides are…

Ella Pace, VIC (age 16)

Â

Esther Humphrey, VIC (age 17)

Felix Millar, VIC (age 15)

Jennifer Gatchkevitch, VIC (age 15)

Nicholas Reich, VIC (age 13)

Paris Morrison, SA (age 9)

Sarah Vafidis, VIC (age 16)

Tango Conway, NSW (age 13)

All of the Burton Tour Guide application videos can be viewed at ACMI’s YouTube channel. You’re all brilliant!

    Hi, I just wanna say congrats to all who got the part! I did a Tim Burton version of The Worst Pies in London, and tried my all, but I can see how you guys won!

    Tim Burton forever!

    ~PS. Am I the only one who thinks 9 should be shown along with all the other films at the cinema at AMCI? I mean, if Fox and the Hound is being shown…

    Dear all of you,
    Congrats! I’m actually saying this to Paris mostly because I’m her classmate, go and have a great time in Melbourne!

    PS.If you read this you should figure out who I am, I’m the last one on the role and I’m the only one with the name starting with Y. And if you are seriously stuck, I play handball at break.
