A Lecher In Physiology
The filming is complete. The studio voice work is complete. Now’s there’s post shooting work to be done but that’s nothing to do with me. It should be edited within about four weeks, I’m told, and then there will be a closed screening for cast and crew before its submission into February’s Tropfest Film Festival 2006. After that, it shall ‘do the circuit’, I would imagine. That’s ‘Realising Sigmund’, a short film written and directed by Rupert Owen, produced by Travis Sutherland and starring yours truly. "I'm a lecherer in physiology. I mean..." Well, you'll just have to wait and see!
It was a swift, smooth shoot. Two nights (Wednesday, 30th November & Thursday, 1st December). The biggest film production I’ve yet had major involvement within. (There’s no counting ‘The Extra’, starring Jimeoin, as I was not a main participant in that film – just an extra, in fact. …And now, referencing that film’s plot, I shall shoot THEM, although not with a camera…) ‘Realising Sigmund’ had an hairdresser, two make-up artistes, a clapper-board, food catering, cat-o’-nine-tails, an egg whisk… Eleven crew personnel in total (including my partner, Shantoozy, as costume coördinator, who had to leave for two weeks in Queensland directly prior to shooting), seven other actors (one of whom was the producer, acting as a dead character) and one rabbit, the writer-director's renegade pet, who would occasionally bound into shot.
Then there was one short night in the sound studio with myself, a fellow actor and minimal crew. (Thursday, 8th December).
I must say I’m ultimately content with my performance. I think. Well, the rushes look pretty good. It was quite a difficult rôle, attaining the right tone and balancing the contradictions of a fairly complex character, whilst adhering to Rupert’s fairly stringent vision, and in the limited space of a seven minute film. We should hopefully end up with a pretty funny little movie, though.
I shall be working as lead actor again in a new production with Rupert next year. Something like a raunchy comedy of mistaken identity! And hopefully some other rôles, big or small, that I might find around the traps, the boards, the curtain, the rigging, the auditorium, the concessions stand, the toilets… I got mi mop and bucket, sir.

GASP! IT...IT IS ALIVE!!
I see you survived the pizza Shantoozy said you had been making yourself sick on. Man cannot live on pizza alone, or if they live, they won't feel good.
The shoot sounds like fun, actually. I look forward to the finished product. And exactly how does one become a lecherer in physiology? I checked the university's catalog and that course is NOT offered...
darkneauro: I look forward to your reaction to the film. ...You must be checking the wrong type of catalogue. Try something along the lines of the lingerie catalogue in the post.
number 1 fan: You flatter this round bellied chap! Do you also, perchance, know how to flatten him there a little?
