When Sam and I first met the cast confusion was our element of surprize. We bombarded our newly found actors with plans of epic proportion and scared the carp out of them by telling them they were to be donkeys and carry all our gear. But... thanks to a great British brew and a couple of taxis everything was ironed out and the companys blushes and backs were spared.
Instead of building on our new found affection for each other, we took our now trusting cast to a dust filled garage that resembled a seagull sanctuary or steptoes yard. In here we were to embark on the truly mega adventure.
I gained the role as actor liason and performance director (for want of a better phrase... like performinator!) and set about working on the intention and the grit of the scenes.
I mainly used brechtian, artaudian and stanislavskian techniques including bumble bee bumble bee (see an actor prepares p39) or loud football noises to wooooo (creating a role p997). these got us into the mood for a truly wonderful time.
Now i have built up the story I am going to leave you guys hanging, i believe in teasing things out and also keeping some cards close to our chest (this is a challenge after all).
So in the near future you may hear me elaborate further but for now... enjoy your own shoots and don't forget... To Bumble Bee or to not Bumble Bee, that is the question!

I thought the combination of the Method with the Bumble Bee was extremely effective. Alex quite literally screamed like a girl and ran out of the room at the size of that thing!
I say bumble bee - most effective, especially when you add Cobra or Guiness!
