Ok, so its a low budget movie. and we dont get paid. and im only an extra. but still! im a security guard in a sci fi!
did some filming on sunday. from about 1pm to 11pm. im in the background of five scenes doing what i do best- just sitting around drinking coffee (",). the reason i say mame got me in was that when i phoned about the ad for extras and actors i told them id only had limited experience with some tv ads but that i was pretty handy with the tools. he said email him a pic of me and some examples of my work and voila!
-
Man since you became a movie star you have changed.
-
dude im good at drinking coffee too! i wanna be an extra
-
Can I have your autograph? Will the DVD be available outside of Thailand?
-S
-
I tried out for the same part, but was turned down for not liking coffee. I tried convincing them that It would be more realistic if I was eating bacon, and drinking hollandaise sauce. For some reason they didn't go for it.
-
-
shape d, you coulda got in because the other security guard (my partner) eats a bowl of lentils in one scene. very brave he was because until then he had no idea what lentils tasted like!
oh, and while i am not of a gallic persuasion i am the one with the french horn (",)
-
oh, and i dont want to give anything away but one of the scenes im in involves a french horn and a piano-accordion...
That's kind of like me, except my scenes always involve a french maid and a pianist.
Guy walks into a bar with a tiny piano and a twelve inch pianist... oh wait I can't tell that one! (http://mpwwc.stingraysmadness.com/images/smiles/krusty2.gif)

I didn't know Ms PacMan was that kind of girl

It was more a Rough Ranger kind of thing.
Not that there is anything wrong with it.
-
for the life of me i can't remember why i would do this for free

every space ship needs a nurse...
-
for all you aussies, no Bob Down doesn't have a cameo in the movie...
-
That's a fine looking gal next to Obi Wan.
-
For some reason I've suddenly become a lot more interested in this film. What's it called?
-
What kind of "tools" are you talking about? Somehow these images remind me of a low budget porn movie ;)

well, im pretty hady with MY tool, but what i meant was that im good with making things. that helped me get in because i could help out with the sets, etc. there were up to 5 foxy ladies the first time i was involved with the filming, but i didnt bring a camera. also, ive landed another role in the movie because one of the actors (a fickle breed they are!) decided not to turn up. so now not only am i a slacker coffee-drinking security guard, im also a menacing Darth Sidious kinda character complete with energy bolts coming out of my finger! whats funny is that they filmed some scenes with the original actor, and now they are using me. but im a good 20 cm taller than him!
-
That is very cool danny. Set your sights high and you may be able to star in hemorrhoid commercial in years to come.
-
How does it rate compared to, say... Harry Knuckles?

These pretzels are making me thirsty.

havent heard of harry knuckles. sets and effects-wise its something better than 'dark star'. although i think dark stars plot is quite good considering...

hehe. good idea saint! in this case it doesn't matter though. just an update on the movie. we did some more scenes in the forest of an alien planet (which looks remarkably similar to jungle park land on griffith university campus). had some monster scenes and all! was quite funny when mountain bikers and joggers came across us ;D . i keep forgetting to bring my camera though >:( . movie is nearly finished now. i'll try and remember to bring the camera if i'm in any more scenes.
-
finally got around to looking at the web site. now i finally know what our battle cruiser looks like (",). pretty cool. apparently there is a bit of a delay with CGI because the guy who was doing it (one of the actors) was using his laptop borrowed from uni and it crashed! it also has his thesis on it so he's none too impressed...

Harry Knuckles is a series, which includes "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter".

Man, I hope you weren't talking about the Aldarans here! JK.
Congrats. I really loved that commercial you were in. I will definitely watch your movie when it hits DVD.

I want an autographed copy. Autographed, not autoerotic.

caption for the first one "what do you mean blue screen of death? i thought this ship ran on linux?"
-
caption for the last one " getting mauled by a monster isn't ALL bad..."

Gee Danny, what a big gun you have.... :notworthy:

So that WASN'T you in that sex scene??!!! Man, I've been jipped again!!
-
Will this be along the lines of a Doctor Who quality B movie or are you trying for an more serious type thing?
Spock...I Must... Get... Out .. of her. um ...here.
-
caption for the last one " getting mauled by a monster isn't ALL bad..."
Of course, the caption for the first one should be - "Here's twenty bucks. Now go see a movie kid, a long movie." >:D
-
Looks cool! I love to see stuff that's not the standard franchise junk, a.k.a. " ** Insert Movie Title Here, Part X **"
Let us know when it's out, I'd like to see it.
Reminds me of the Starship Exeter stuff:
http://homepage.mac.com/starshipexeter/ (http://homepage.mac.com/starshipexeter/)
-
well, then you'd love 'robot bastard'! have you heard of it? you should be able to google it. the director had the movie as a free download at one stage. i had a copy but it's trapped inside my dead drive >:(
and is 'redemption 101' serious? it's hard to say! i read the script once but since i don't have any lines i'v kinda forgotten the story but it's to do with religeous persecution- which sounds serious. i'll keep you posted.
just looking at the starship exeter stuff. looks a bit slicker than our movie! but ive seen some stills and its not bad...

another timely bump. went to the initial preview of the movie tonight (",). i think i like dark star better...
early next year will be an actual red carpet previewy thingo. i wont get hold of the dvd until then. bummer because i just met a woman and i thought a cool first date would be to bring the dvd around to hers. so now im gonna have to think of something else. maybe some dr who ;)

What? This wasn't a "direct to DVD" release? Wow!
;D
Keep us posted on when the DVD is released...
-
oh, im pretty sure it will be only straight to dvd. but if you can screen it just once on a big screen its a cool thing to do.
oh, and earlier i joked about the blue screen of death and linux. well, in several shots there is linux stuff happening on the background screens and if that wasnt clue enough to the producer/directors affiliations, the scenes featuring the ships engineer shows him wearing a linux t-shirt!
-
well, we finally had the world premier of the movie last night (",). i was running a bit late, so i missed out on the red carpet photo opportunities. so all we have is pics taken by my slwoly ailing sony crapocam. first one is with melissa, who plays first officer Petty. i like melissa...
-
this is with Ronnie, who plpays my superior, Esdaille. since the director always called us by our character names, i kept forgetting rons! hes a cool dude, he gave me his business card so i wouldnt forget again ;) . he has some similarities to steve irwin, including the ocker accent, so sure enough there is a scene in the movie where he meets a monster
"CRIKEY" he yells!
edit: i get the feeling that 'surfer dude' on the left fancies 'blondie' on the right...
-
these guys are from the funkiest scene in the movie. the girl is dressed in a nurses uniform (as bought from an adult shop) and dancing in the background while the guys are flying their spaceship. not really sure why. as soon as i buy a new (canon) camera the sony is going in the bin...
the guy in the middle had this sort of french accent in the movie. i didnt know why he would do that, so i said something along the lines of 'that was an interesting accent you put on'. turns out he is actually french!
-
me and a friend went to a bar called the rumpus room afterwards. wouldnt ya know it, they had 1942 in a cab (any aussies know about this cab style? i quite like the look of it) set on free play (",)
as a post script to that, a woman saw me in my suit and taking photos and chatted me up. ended up at her place. purely to talk about arcade games naturally...
-
This is all very cool danny.
-
today i had my housemate take a few pics with her (working) camera before i took the suit back to the hire shop as i think i dont look too shabby in it. it would have been a pity to only have my crappy photos to send the folks...
i probably should have taken a shower before taking the pics. oh well...
-
ill post a few stills in the next few days. we all got paid with a free dvd (",)
-
Hey that looks cool. You could be the Australian version of James Bond in that suit. Why did you wear a tie on that bow tie shirt though?
-

The tie looks much better than a bow tie any day of any week of any year.

Except for those bow ties that spin round and round. Those are awsome. :)

It's not so much the tie itself I'm wondering about, but the combination of a bow tie shirt with a tie.
-

you mean like George Lazenby?
(http://www.geocities.com/ultimatejbwebsite/george2.jpg)
the shirt and tie combo was recommended to me. decaprio and clooney both wore ties this year. but you know, now im looking, dicaprio has a regular shirt with that tie. cant find a pic of clooney this year...
-
Danny i believe that is one of the many L&A generic cabs i think there might still be one down neer me in melbourne
When the dvd comes out give me a PM where i can pick it up from ;)
-
ok. starting to pick out stills from the dvd. for now, this is one im most proud of. im off screen swinging the branch into esdales face. this got me credited as 'branch manager' which i think is freaking cool. i can now honestly put on my resume 'branch manager- angel studios' (",)
-
Great footage. Love the acting :P
-
ok. every sci fi needs an evil doer with freaky sunglasses. the actors name is memphis joe. cant quite remember where he is from originally ;D
-
and whats a sci fi without a torture scene involving one o those zappy sparky thingos in the background?
-
nurse!

Haha - she's awesome! Great dancer!!!
:laugh2:
One of these days I'll order the DVD...
-
hehe. as well as an actress in the movie, she is in fact the choreographer as well! the goofy dancing is of course really hammed up. i wouldnt mind some horizontal folf dancing lessons from her...
also look here for the trailer:

in it you can see me in action (if you look very closely and dont blink)

All that production talent and not one of you was a language coach? I always cringe at how thick the Queensland accent can get, like all those tourists make 'em double their efforts to sound occa. :laugh2:
-
crikey! fair suck of the sav digger! i think the queensland accent is bonza! streuth you must be a poofta or something ;D
its funny when im overseas because sometimes people assume im from somewhere else. my accent is fairly neutral for an aussie one. being first generation and from darwin (where EVERYONE is from somewhere else) helps...
-
It's funny for me, that because of the broad range of television I watched when I was growing up all my multi-syllabic insults tend to have a British accent, and all my crudest insults tend to have an American accent. Just depends on whether the person reminds me of a Baldrick or a Baldwin. ;D
