I had my actor hat on today as we continue forward trying to finish filming The Curse of The Jester. If I have it right then I only have one more bit to do now but today I was shooting a sequence with Sara-Louise in front of a green screen so who knows what is going to be happening behind us.
Incidentally, you can watch Sara-Louise performing on The Random Sessions here and just for shits and giggles I made a badly edited mash up of her cover of 'House of the Rising Sun' with John Otway's famous call-and-response rendition which you can see here.
The Curse of the Jester was originally a series but now is being made into a film by editing old footage with newly filmed scenes. We were up until recently filming in sequential order which is unusual but at least we know where we are. However today we went out of sequence and we still need to fill in the gaps left in the story when we filmed in Matlock last summer.
This has been a great project to work on especially given how Glenn has been making this film on a non-existent budget (I don't usually work for free these days but I am supporting this project out of admiration for his vision and hard work behind the camera and in the edit). Not only is he filming it he is also doing all of the editing as he goes so that he will have a film in much quicker time than if he had to edit from scratch. The vast majority of the dialogue is improvised too so this is just the type of film making I am into, quick and easy. By cocking a snook at such formality as asking permission to film in a specific area things get done a lot quicker.
