Testing, testing…
So, as an actor, it’s unusual to see a whole rough cut of a film–especially if you’re a background actor, that almost never happens. I’ve been very lucky this year to see some rough cuts of my work on Outpost Earth, thanks, Brett! It’s really funny to see a scene where another actor’s lines have been removed before ADR, and before visual effects have been added. Kinda groovy.
Yesterday, I got to see a rough cut of Baby Frankenstein, the little indie sci-fi/comedy I worked on last fall. It was a fun scene, lots of improv, and I was really curious to see what bits Jon YonKondy, the director, was going to piece together and how it would fit into the greater scheme of things.
I hadn’t had the opportunity to read a full script, just the few scenes they were considering me for when I auditioned, so I really had no clue.
It didn’t all make the final cut, but the director saying it was, “too funny,” too close the dramatic climax of the movie, takes the sting away. He said he’s send me the full scene, so I hope to add it here and to my reel shortly thereafter.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the whole thing once editing, ADR, color balancing and all that fun “we’ll fix it in post” stuff is done. Here’s the teaser trailer, in case you missed it a couple of weeks ago.
