Damnation: Summer project

My performance for my summer project went well, I had no idea my monologue would affect my friends in such a positive way. I mean I was told I was good. I'm rewriting it into something bigger and better while working on another piece for the big man Arnie. Good times. I want to keep acting though, I love it.

FILM by artist STEVE MCQUEEN

I have a couple of ideas I would really like to see be made:

The first is script I am developing that I want to shoot inside my home or someone else’s. It’s based on some familiar family problems.
The dialogue itself will be slightly ad-libbed. I see this as a very raw emotional piece, funny but ultimately heartbreaking. It has got to feel claustrophobic and right on top of reality up until the ending that will be so out of place and violent. Still mulling over that ending though.

Should have script ready in a few weeks for you to read

Experience and Networking on Film Three Stags

Working as a runner on film Three Stags
My first day: National Paintball Fields at Bassetts Pole, Trickley Coppice, London Road, Bassetts Pole, Nr Sutton Coldfield B75 5SA
It was a long shoot, working around 15 hours for only a few shots. tedious, tiring, exciting, interesting; I learnt, a lot. We shot within the centre, a dialogue scene on a small incline. the finished scene lasted for only 5 minutes. We had problems with actors who read the wrong pages, arguments over safety and to my mind far too many takes. 


Within the day I was part as the extras crew, sweating jumpsuit on a sweltering day. After all the fun elements we completed I was feeding, watering crew and actors, looking after equipment; cameras, chargers.


My second day: Second day at Dosthill Quarry, Church Road, Dosthill, Tamworth, B77 1LL
A longer day, much longer. I was given responsibility of keeping batteries charged for the camera's and monitor's. I was shown how to set up the monitor's for the cameramen. It was a much harder day, as we were shooting on a small cliff face and on water. It was quite a hike to the cliff face which overlooked the water, you had to walk around it through forest and wasps nests. The scene 's on the cliff face were the dream sequence and when the characters jump of the cliff face into the water. So many takes again for only a few minutes of film. Fun though. Health and safety was a must, having to sign a waver, because of the dangers of shooting with water. I was running back constantly to base to changer batteries, feed the crew and actors, relay messages. I got to document the film as it was being shot on camera which was ok. So some of my footage should be on the DVD. In fact I need the DVD.
